Rapid loss of an ecosystem engineer: Sphagnum decline in an experimentally warmed bog
Abstract Sphagnum mosses are keystone components of peatland ecosystems. They facilitate the accumulation of carbon in peat deposits, but climate change is predicted to expose peatland ecosystem to sustained and unprecedented warming leading to a significant release of carbon to the atmosphere. Spha...
