We synthesized research showing how recent environmental conditions set in place by climate change can govern CO2 emissions by regulating the composition of microbes in northern peatlands. We highlight conditions that favour algal‐mediated carbon uptake and demonstrate how the presence or absence of an algal energy pathway can determine the direction ...
