Record growth of Sphagnum papillosum in Georgia (Transcaucasus): rain frequency, temperature and microhabitat as key drivers in natural bogs

(1) Peatmoss (Sphagnum) growth has been studied widely, in particular at temperate and boreal latitudes > 45 °N, where productivity is mainly controlled by mean annual temperature and precipitation. We studied the growth of Sphagnum papillosum and S. palustre in four peatlands in the year-round w...
