Nonlinear Responses of Anaerobic Methane Oxidation to Water Table Drawdown in Peatlands

Abstract Anaerobic oxidation of methane (AOM) serves as a key methane (CH4) sink that attenuates methane emissions from peatlands. Climate change has induced widespread water table drawdown in peatlands, but the response of AOM to the water table depth (WTD) and the temperature s...

Fungal necromass dominates soil organic carbon accrual after decadal active restoration of alpine grassland

Active (seeding native grasses) and passive (natural recovery via degradation factor removal) restoration practices regulate soil organic carbon (SOC) recovery in degraded grasslands through distinct mechanisms. We quantified microbial- (amino sugars) and plant-derived (lignin ph...
