Sphagnum physiology in the context of changing climate: emergent influences of genomics, modelling and host-microbiome interactions on understanding ecosystem function. [PDF]
, 2014 Peatlands harbour more than one-third of terrestrial carbon leading to the argument that the bryophytes, as major components of peatland ecosystems, store more organic carbon in soils than any other collective plant taxa. Plants of the genus Sphagnum are

Vegetation NDVI Linked to Temperature and Precipitation in the Upper Catchments of Yellow River [PDF]
, 2012 Vegetation in the upper catchment of Yellow River is critical for the ecological stability of the whole watershed. The dominant vegetation cover types in this region are grassland and forest, which can strongly influence the eco-environmental status of ...

Decline of the boreal willow grouse (Lagopus lagopus) has been accelerated by more frequent snow-free springs [PDF]
, 2020 Climate change has influenced a range of species across the globe. Yet, to state a noted decline in the abundance of a given species as a consequence of a specific environmental change, for instance, spatially explicit long-term data are a prerequisite.

Controls on ecosystem respiration of carbon dioxide across a boreal wetland gradient in Interior Alaska [PDF]
, 2012 Thesis (M.S.) University of Alaska Fairbanks, 2012Permafrost and organic soil layers are common to most wetlands in interior Alaska, where wetlands have functioned as important long-term soil carbon sinks.

Spatial and Temporal Variations in Active Layer Thawing and Their Implication on Runoff Generation in Peat-Covered Permafrost Terrain [PDF]
, 2009 The distribution of frost table depths on a peat-covered permafrost slope was examined in a discontinuous permafrost region in northern Canada over 4 consecutive years at a variety of spatial scales, to elucidate the role of active layer development on ...

Nurse species and indirect facilitation through grazing drive plant community functional traits in tropical alpine peatlands [PDF]
Ecology and Evolution, 2017 AbstractFacilitation among plants mediated by grazers occurs when an unpalatable plant extends its protection against grazing to another plant. This type of indirect facilitation impacts species coexistence and ecosystem functioning in a large array of ecosystems worldwide.

Relation between methanogenic archaea and methane production potential in selected natural wetland ecosystems across China [PDF]
Biogeosciences, 2011 Methane (CH<sub>4</sub>) emissions from natural wetland ecosystems exhibit large spatial variability at regional, national, and global levels related to temperature, water table, plant type and methanogenic archaea etc.
