Porewater iron dynamics drive microbial metabolic stratification and carbon transformation in a subtropical sphagnum multifibrosum peatland

Peatlands are the densest terrestrial carbon stocks, and iron is a key redox-active element that strongly influences microbial metabolism and carbon preservation. However, the role of microbial metabolic stratification and its coupling with geochemical factors, such as iron in governing carbon stability remain poorly...
