摘要: Northern peatlands are important stores of carbon and reservoirs of biodiversity that are vulnerable to global change. However, the carbon dynamics of individual peatland plant species is poorly understood, despite the potential for rising atmospheric CO 2 to affect the vegetation's contribution to overall ecosystem carbon function. Here, we examined the effects of 3 years exposure to elevated CO 2 (eCO 2) on (a) peatland plant community composition and biomass, and (b) plant carbon dynamics and the production of dissolved …
