Effects of shading on relative competitive advantage of three species of Sphagnum [PDF]

Mires and Peat, 2015
(1) Sphagnum is an important genus of bryophytes holding 10–15 % of the terrestrial carbon stock. With climate change a drier surface may increase the abundance of vascular plants on peatlands, so shading of Sphagnum may increase. Here we describe growth
