Effects of soil temperature on Sphagnum moss litter quality and decomposition in a subarctic environment
High latitude peatlands play a significant role in global soil carbon budgets, attributed to the slow decomposition rate of Sphagnum mosses that facilitates carbon sequestration through the build-up of peat. As climate change is predicted to increase soil temperatures and decomposition rates of …
