Peatland warming strongly increases fine-root growth

A Malhotra, DJ Brice, J Childs… - Proceedings of the …, 2020 - National Acad Sciences
Belowground climate change responses remain a key unknown in the Earth system. Plant
fine-root response is especially important to understand because fine roots respond quickly …

Stability of peatland carbon to rising temperatures

RM Wilson, AM Hopple, MM Tfaily… - Nature …, 2016 - nature.com
Peatlands contain one-third of soil carbon (C), mostly buried in deep, saturated anoxic
zones (catotelm). The response of catotelm C to climate forcing is uncertain, because prior …

Minnesota peat viromes reveal terrestrial and aquatic niche partitioning for local and global viral populations

AM Ter Horst, C Santos-Medellín, JW Sorensen… - Microbiome, 2021 - Springer
Background Peatlands are expected to experience sustained yet fluctuating higher
temperatures due to climate change, leading to increased microbial activity and greenhouse …

Massive peatland carbon banks vulnerable to rising temperatures

AM Hopple, RM Wilson, M Kolton, CA Zalman… - Nature …, 2020 - nature.com
Peatlands contain one-third of the world's soil carbon (C). If destabilized, decomposition of
this vast C bank could accelerate climate warming; however, the likelihood of this outcome …

Rapid loss of an ecosystem engineer: Sphagnum decline in an experimentally warmed bog

RJ Norby, J Childs, PJ Hanson… - Ecology and …, 2019 - Wiley Online Library
Sphagnum mosses are keystone components of peatland ecosystems. They facilitate the
accumulation of carbon in peat deposits, but climate change is predicted to expose peatland …

Organic matter transformation in the peat column at Marcell Experimental Forest: Humification and vertical stratification

MM Tfaily, WT Cooper, JE Kostka… - Journal of …, 2014 - Wiley Online Library
We characterized peat decomposition at the Marcell Experimental Forest (MEF), Minnesota,
USA, to a depth of 2 m to ascertain the underlying chemical changes using Fourier transform …

Attaining whole-ecosystem warming using air and deep-soil heating methods with an elevated CO2 atmosphere

PJ Hanson, JS Riggs, WR Nettles, JR Phillips… - …, 2017 - bg.copernicus.org
This paper describes the operational methods to achieve and measure both deep-soil
heating (0–3 m) and whole-ecosystem warming (WEW) appropriate to the scale of tall …

Experimental warming alters the community composition, diversity, and N2 fixation activity of peat moss (Sphagnum fallax) microbiomes

AA Carrell, M Kolton, JB Glass… - Global Change …, 2019 - Wiley Online Library
Sphagnum‐dominated peatlands comprise a globally important pool of soil carbon (C) and
are vulnerable to climate change. While peat mosses of the genus Sphagnum are known to …
