The interplay between abiotic factors and below-ground biological interactions regulates carbon exports from peatlands
Geoderma(2020)
Abstract
•Abiotic factors had a direct effect on biotic communities, but influenced C exports indirectly.•Enchytraeid and mite biomass were linked to CO2 emissions and DOC release, respectively.•Below-ground plant biomass affected DOC production indirectly through mite biomass.•These feedback mechanisms resulted in contrasting C pathways between habitats.
