3. 2. Do OTC warming effects on ecosystem processes depend on moss species identity, precipitation, and moss removal?

   University essay from Umeå universitet/Institutionen för ekologi, miljö och geovetenskap

   Author : Alexina Brännlund; [2023]
   Keywords : Experimental warming; Subarctic tundra mosses; Productivity; Ecosystem respiration; Decomposition;

   Abstract : Long-term warming experiments in arctic tundra have resulted in reduced moss cover and increased vascular plant cover. As mosses have a major impact on microclimatic conditions, changes in community composition can potentially alter direct and indirect drivers of productivity and decomposition, which are low in arctic ecosystems.

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Examensarbeten i biologi

   Author : Dora Mijić; [2023]
   Keywords : Biology and Life Sciences;

   Abstract : Bryophytes play a significant role in various ecological processes, including soil succession and colonization after disturbances. Although they are commonly believed to take up nutrients from soil solutions rather than the soil itself, the influence of soil on their growth and distribution is evident from previous studies.
