The possibility of carbon (C) being locked away from the atmosphere for millennia is given
in hydromorphic soils. However, the water‐table‐dependent feedback from soil organic …

In contrast to grasslands, forests have only rarely been the subject of functional biodiversity
research. This paper addresses specific problems, which arise from applying the synthetic …

Terrestrial inputs into freshwater ecosystems are a classical field of environmental science.
Resource fluxes (subsidy) from aquatic to terrestrial systems have been less studied, …

Hydromorphic soils should exhibit higher climate change feedback potentials than well aerated
soils since soil organic matter (SOM) losses in them are predicted to be much larger than …

The changes in the amounts and composition of dissolved organic matter (DOM) following
long-term peat restoration are unknown, although this fraction of soil organic matter affects …

Soil organic carbon (SOC) holds the largest terrestrial carbon stock because of soil conditions
and processes that favor soil carbon persistence. Vulnerable to climate change, SOC may …
