Open AccessField Simulation of Global Change: Transplanting Northern Bog Mesocosms Southward
A large proportion of northern peatlands consists of Sphagnum-dominated ombrotrophic bogs. In these bogs, peat mosses (Sphagnum) and vascular plants occur in an apparent stable equilibrium, thereby sustaining the...

Photosynthetic performance in Sphagnum transplanted along a latitudinal nitrogen deposition gradient
Increased N deposition in Europe has affected mire ecosystems. However, knowledge on the physiological responses is poor. We measured photosynthetic responses to increasing N deposition in two peatmoss species (S...

Open AccessSwift recovery of Sphagnum nutrient concentrations after excess supply
Although numerous studies have addressed the effects of increased N deposition on nutrient-poor environments such as raised bogs, few studies have dealt with to what extent, and on what time-scale, reductions ...

Open AccessThe effect of temperature on growth and competition between Sphagnum species
Peat bogs play a large role in the global sequestration of C, and are often dominated by different Sphagnum species. Therefore, it is crucial to understand how Sphagnum vegetation in peat bogs will respond to glo...
