On a global scale, peatlands contain 530 ± 160 Pg carbon, which is equivalent to >50% of the atmospheric pool. The fate of this enormous C reservoir could significantly impact the climate trajectory. Yet, two puzzling phenomena persist regarding C cycling dynamics in Sphagnum-rich peatlands (&quo...
