Root exudate analogues accelerate CO2 and CH4 production in tropical peat (2017)
Journal Article
Girkin, N., Turner, B., Ostle, N., Craigon, J., & Sjögersten, S. (2018). Root exudate analogues accelerate CO2 and CH4 production in tropical peat. Soil Biology and Biochemistry, 117, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.soilbio.2017.11.008

Root exudates represent a large and labile carbon input in tropical peatlands, but their contribution to carbon dioxide (CO2) and methane (CH4) production remains poorly understood. Changes in species composition and productivity of peatland plant co... Read More about Root exudate analogues accelerate CO2 and CH4 production in tropical peat.

Quality not quantity: organic matter composition controls of CO₂and CH₄fluxes in neotropical peat profiles (2016)
Journal Article
Hoyos-Santillan, J., Lomax, B. H., Large, D., Turner, B. L., Boom, A., Lopez, O. R., & Sjögersten, S. (2016). Quality not quantity: organic matter composition controls of CO₂and CH₄fluxes in neotropical peat profiles. Soil Biology and Biochemistry, 103, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.soilbio.2016.08.017

Tropical peatlands represent an important source of carbon dioxide (CO₂) and methane (CH₄) to the atmosphere. However, we do not know where in the peat profile these gases are produced and how controlling factors, such as substrate quality, which can...

Long-term reindeer grazing limits warming-induced increases in CO2 released by tundra heath soil: potential role of soil C quality (2015)
Journal Article
Väisänen, M., Sjogersten Turner, S., Large, D., Drage, T., & Stark, S. (2015). Long-term reindeer grazing limits warming-induced increases in CO2 released by tundra heath soil: potential role of soil C quality. Environmental Research Letters, 10(9), Article 094020. https://doi.org/10.1088/1748-9326/10/9/094020

© 2015 IOP Publishing Ltd. The current climate warming in the Arctic may increase the microbial degradation of vast pools of soil carbon (C); however, the temperature sensitivity of decomposition is often highly dependent on the quality of accumulate...
