Plant functional type composition drives summer carbon cycling in an ombrotrophic peatland
Peatlands are globally important carbon sinks because plant CO 2 uptake outweighs microbial decomposition. These ecosystems are characterised by a distinct microtopography of hummocks and lawns, supporting vegetation communities composed of various plant functional types (PFTs). In this study we assess the direct...
