Biophysical drivers of seasonal variability in Sphagnum gross primary production in a northern temperate bog
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2017 at "Journal of Geophysical Research"
DOI: 10.1002/2016jg003711
Abstract: Sphagnummosses are the keystone species of peatland ecosystems. With rapid rates of climate change occurring in high latitudes, vast reservoirs of carbon accumulated over millennia in peatland ecosystems are potentially vulnerable to rising temperature and… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00267-025-02279-y
Abstract: Sphagnum mosses are a dominant plant group in boreal and temperate peatlands, significantly contributing to peat accumulation and, consequently, terrestrial carbon stock. Sphagnum moss as a potentially renewable alternative for peat is an emerging raw… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/jxb/erac133
Abstract: Abstract Mosses of the genus Sphagnum are the main components of peatlands, a major carbon-storing ecosystem. Changes in precipitation patterns are predicted to affect water relations in this ecosystem, but the effect of desiccation on… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/gcb.16651
Abstract: Peat mosses (Sphagnum spp.) are keystone species in boreal peatlands, where they dominate net primary productivity and facilitate the accumulation of carbon in thick peat deposits. Sphagnum mosses harbor a diverse assemblage of microbial partners,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/plb.13423
Abstract: Growth and functioning of Sphagnum mosses are closely linked to water level and chemistry. Sphagnum mosses occur in wet, generally acidic conditions and when buffered, alkaline water is known to negatively impact Sphagnum. The effects… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/plb.13534
Abstract: Peatland degradation through drainage and peat extraction have detrimental environmental and societal consequences. Rewetting is a mitigation option to restore lost ecosystem functions, such as carbon uptake, water retention, biodiversity and nutrient sequestration. Peat mosses… read more here.

DOI: 10.1186/s12864-025-11763-y
Abstract: Sphagnum L. (peat mosses) comprises approximately 291 recognized species distributed worldwide except Antarctica. Plastomes are useful for investigating structure evolution and phylogeny due to their conserved structure. However, Sphagnum species endemic to China have been… read more here.
