Tipping Points in Bacterial Richness Amplify Extracellular Enzyme Activities in Northern Peatlands
Using a trans‐Holarctic survey in Sphagnum‐dominated peatlands, we identify a critical bacterial biodiversity threshold. Below this threshold, ecosystem function shifts, increasing enzyme activities by 60%, potentially accelerating carbon turnover. This weakens the peatland carbon sink, emphasizing the need to safeguard diversity.

Fossils as cultural heritage: Scientific, commercial and legislative issues
Fossils are among the principal sources for understanding the history of life through ‘Deep Time’ and can inform projections of biotic responses to environmental change. Despite a widespread recognition of the scientific, historical and communication significance of fossils in our culture, their role as part of our cultural heritage is still far from ...
