The direct and indirect role of climate in regulating litter decomposition processes in blanket peatlands

Peatlands are an important component of the global carbon (C) cycle, accounting for around 20-30 % of global soil C. They accumulate C as long as the losses (through decomposition) are less than the inputs (through above- belowground litter production). In the UK, rain-fed blanket peatlands are the...
