Iron-mediated soil carbon response to water-table decline in an alpine wetland. [PDF]
Nat Commun, 2017 AbstractThe tremendous reservoir of soil organic carbon (SOC) in wetlands is being threatened by water-table decline (WTD) globally. However, the SOC response to WTD remains highly uncertain. Here we examine the under-investigated role of iron (Fe) in mediating soil enzyme activity and lignin stabilization in a mesocosm WTD experiment in an alpine ...

Focus on the impact of climate change on wetland ecosystem and carbon dynamics [PDF]
, 2016 The renewed growth in atmospheric methane (CH4)since 2007 after a decade of stabilization has drawn much attention to its causes and future trends. Wetlands are the single largest source of atmospheric CH4.

Tussock microhabitats increase nitrogen uptake by plants in an alpine wetland
Plant and Soil, 2021 Tussock microhabitat is a universal phenomenon in wetlands, where soil and plant properties differ from their surrounding lawns. This study aims to investigate the differences of plant nitrogen (N) uptake between tussocks and lawns, which would further affect ecosystem functions.

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.
