Using high-throughput sequencing to investigate microbial mechanisms underlying drought-driven carbon release from peatlands

Peatlands represent an important terrestrial pool of carbon, but are threatened by anthropogenic climate change, including a potential increase in drought events. Drought leads to the release of carbon dioxide from peat. It is well established that drought affects microbial communities, but so far i...
