Root biomass, production and decomposition have been poorly studied in peatland ecosystems despite evidence that they may be equal to or greater than aboveground vascular plant components and contribute significantly more carbon (C) to the soil organic matter pool. At the same time, global change phenomena such as water table drawdown (via rising temperatures) and increased nitrogen deposition threaten to dramatically alter these systems, primarily through changes to vegetation. This makes quantifying root biomass, production, and decomposition critical to our understanding of peatland C cycles. Understanding how these belowground stocks and fluxes vary with aboveground plant components in relation to environmental (cli...
