Soil CO2 efflux in a degraded raised bog is regulated by water table depth rather than recent plant assimilate

Understanding the climatic and biological factors that regulate soil carbon dioxide (CO2) efflux is crucial in peatlands because they contain a large proportion of terrestrial carbon (C). We predicted that rainfall reduction would increase soil CO2 efflux, and that cessation of below-ground allocati...
