Effects of soil temperature on Sphagnum moss litter quality and decomposition in a subarctic environment
… and intraspecific mechanisms that controls decay resistance of Sphagnum mosses is central to understand potential shifts in peatland carbon storage. In this study, I show how soil temperature affects litter quality and decomposition rates of two Sphagnum species: S. papillosum and S. …
