Ecosystems are increasingly prone to climate extremes, such as drought, with long-lasting effects on both plant and soil communities and, subsequently, carbon (C) cycling. However, recent studies underlined the strong variability in ecosystem's response droughts, raising issue of nonlinear responses communities. The conundrum is what causes ecosystems shift drought. Here, we investigated fungi drought different intensities using a water table gradient peatlands-a major C sink ecosystem....
Due to their unique flora, hydrology and environmental characteristics, peatlands are precious specific habitats for microorganisms microscopic animals. Their microbial network structure biomass crucial peatland carbon cycling, through primary production, as well decomposition mineralization of organic matter. Wetlands one the ecosystems most at risk from anthropogenic activities climate change. Most recent scenarios change Central Europe predict an increase in air temperature a decrease...
Mid- to high-latitude peatlands are a major terrestrial carbon stock but become sources during droughts, which increasingly frequent as result of climate warming. A critical question within this context is the sensitivity drought peatland microbial food webs. Microbiota drive key ecological and biogeochemical processes, their response likely impact these processes. Peatland webs have, however, been little studied, especially predators. We studied predators (testate amoebae, ciliates,...
Northern hemisphere peatlands are substantial carbon stores. However, recent climate change and human impacts (e.g., drainage atmospheric nutrient deposition) may trigger the emission of their stored to atmosphere. Biodiversity losses also an important consequence those changes. Therefore, there is a need recognise these processes in space time. Global experiments often conducted improve our understanding potential responses various ecosystems global warming drought. Most carried out focused...
In northern peatlands, reduction of Sphagnum dominance in favour vascular vegetation is likely to influence biogeochemical processes. Such changes occur as the water table lowers and temperatures rise. To test which these factors has a significant on peatland vegetation, we conducted 3-year manipulative field experiment Linje mire (northern Poland). We manipulated level (wet, intermediate dry; average depth was 17.4, 21.2 25.3 cm respectively), used open-top chambers (OTCs) create warmer...
Current projections suggest that climate warming will be accompanied by more frequent and severe drought events. Peatlands store ca. one third of the world’s soil organic carbon. Warming may cause peatlands to become carbon sources through stimulation microbial activity increasing ecosystem respiration, with positive feedback effect on global warming. Micro-eukaryotes play a key role in cycle food web interactions therefore, alterations their community structure diversity affect functioning...
