Enhanced silicon availability leads to increased methane production, nutrient and toxicant mobility in peatlands
Abstract Peatlands perform important ecosystem functions, such as carbon storage and nutrient retention, which are affected, among other factors, by vegetation and peat decomposition. The availability of silicon (Si) in peatlands differs strongly, ranging from <1 to >25 mg L−1. Since decomposi...
