Assessing environmental attributes and effects of climate change on Sphagnum peatland distributions in North America using single- and multi-species models.
The fate of Northern peatlands under climate change is important because of their contribution to global carbon (C) storage. Peatlands are maintained via greater plant productivity (especially of Sphagnum species) than decomposition, and the processes involved are strongly mediated by climate. Altho...
