• The microbial aspect of climate change (2016, background): “However, drought conditions in wetlands accelerate microbial activity by lowering the water table and introducing oxygen to anaerobic soil leading to positive carbon cycle feedback as reflected by the increased activity of phenol oxidases (Freeman et al. 2004; Zibilske and Bradford 2007).”
• Microbial contributions to climate change through carbon cycle feedbacks (2008, background): “…effect of elevated temperature and atmospheric CO2 on microbial decomposition of peat was found to be greater than when these factors operated alone (Fenner et al., 2007a, b), creating an even stronger positive feedback on carbon loss from soil as DOC and respiration (Freeman et al., 2004b).”
• Long-term increases in surface water dissolved organic carbon: observations, possible causes and environmental impacts. (2005, background): “Freeman et al. (2004) found that experimentally increasing atmospheric CO2 by 235 ppm led to increases in soil solution DOC ranging from 14% in blanket peats to 61% in more nutrient-rich riparian wetland peats.”
• Integrating plant–soil interactions into global carbon cycle models (2009, background): “…and positive effect of elevated temperature and atmospheric CO2 onmicrobial decomposition of peat was found to be greater than when these factors operated in isolation (Fenner et al. 2007), creating an even stronger positive feedback on C loss from soil as DOC and respiration (Freeman et al. 2004).”
