Drainage-induced encroachment by trees may have major effects on the carbon balance of northern peatlands, and responses of microbial communities are likely to play a central mechanistic role. We...
Peatlands cover about 400 million hectares (ha), or 3% of the land surface of our planet. Yet they store more carbon, more effectively and for longer periods, than any other ecosystem on land. Intact...
Shallow freshwaters release large amounts of greenhouse gases. These shallow waterbodies are often dominated by submersed plants, yet the role these plants have in affecting greenhouse gas release is...
