Plant functional group identity influences short-term peatland ecosystem carbon flux: evidence from a plant removal experiment (2009, background): “Such findings were taken by Ward et al. (2007) to suggest that changes in functional composition of vegetation resulting from land use change are likely to be an important driver of change in peatland C dynamics.”
The role of mosses in ecosystem succession and function in Alaska's boreal forest. (2010, background): “These plants have received attention in several recent reviews for their importance in regulating soil hydroclimate and nutrient cvclinz in boreal ecosvstems (van Breemen 1995; Turetsky 2003; Nilsson and Wardle 2005).”
Global assessment of nitrogen deposition effects on terrestrial plant diversity: a synthesis. (2010, background): “The important data from the included studies are given in a summarizing table (see Appendix A), except for the well-known data for European temperate systems (see Bobbink et al. [2003] for details).”
An experimental comparison of chemical traits and litter decomposition rates in a diverse range of subarctic bryophyte, lichen and vascular plant species (2009, unknown): “Leaching in the wet mire environment could be a minor cause for enhanced mass loss rates compared with the birch forest but the low soluble content in mosses (Pakarinen & Vitt 1974; Turetsky 2003) cannot account for more than 1– 10% of total mass loss.”
Nitrogen Fixing Cyanobacteria: Future Prospect (2014, background): “…(Hobara et al. 2006; Solheim et al. 2006) and form many associations with vegetation including epiphytic and endophytic facultative associations with bryophytes (Turetsky, 2003) and the lichen symbioses and soil surface colonies that are components of Biological Soil Crusts (Belnap et al. 2001).”
Cell-wall polysaccharides play an important role in decay resistance of Sphagnum and actively depressed decomposition in vitro (2011, background): “% of the peat in Sphagnum-dominated peatlands consists of litter of a single moss genus: Sphagnum (Kuhry 1997; Turetsky 2003).”
Bryophytes attenuate anthropogenic nitrogen inputs in boreal forests (2011, background): “However, bryophytes are rarely incorporated into forest C models (Turetsky, 2003; Hagemann et al., 2010b).”
Necrobiome Framework for Bridging Decomposition Ecology of Autotrophically and Heterotrophically Derived Organic Matter (2018, background): “This moss genus is well known for its preservative properties and slow rate of decomposition, occupies one-third of land on the planet, and stores more carbon than any other single genus of plant (Turetsky 2003).”
High Arctic plant community resists 15 years of experimental warming (2010, background): “In tundra communities, bryophytes influence ecosystem functions such as carbon, nitrogen, and water cycling (Turetsky 2003).”
Effects of leaf litter on the growth of boreal feather mosses: Implication for forest floor development (2008, background): “Feather mosses dominate the ground cover of most mid- to late successional coniferous-dominated boreal forest stands (Turetsky 2003; Mills & Macdonald 2004).”
