Effects of soil temperature on Sphagnum moss litter quality and decomposition in a subarctic environment
… 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 organic matter, studying environmental and intraspecific mechanisms that …

EFFECTS OF NITROGEN DEPOSITION ON BOREAL BOGS: A THREE YEAR NITROGEN FERTILIZATION AND TRACER EXPERIMENT
… N pools (including microbial communities, moss, roots, litter, and aboveground vascular plants) and how these N pools process and retain applied N in four ombrogenous bogs in northern Alberta, Canada. Linear growth of Sphagnum mosses was highly variable. However, both capitulum and stem …

On the Recalcitrant Nature of Sphagnum's Cell Wall
… than half of this peat consists of undecomposed Sphagnum moss cell wall materials, prompting the proposal that this genus sequesters more carbon than any other plant. The extraordinary recalcitrance of Sphagnum’s cell wall is central both to the long term persistence of this carbon store and its …

Properties and Applications of Organic/Biodegradable Sorbents (Peat) For Remediation of Hazardous Waste Substances
… on only one or two types of peat (often Sphagnum moss peat). However, because peat samples can be quit different in chemical, physical, and biological compositions from one site to another and even at depth within one deposit, it was felt that studies of a wider selection of highly …

An Isotopic Analysis of Carbon Dynamics in Sphagnum Peat
… peat building plant in northern peatlands, Sphagnum moss, grows in these dissolved carbon rich waters. Understanding Sphagnum carbon cycles is key for radiocarbon dating, peatland restoration, and modelling of methane release from warming peatlands globally. This combined surface and …
