Recent studies have shown that intraspecific variability is a mechanism by which species respond to environmental heterogeneity, and that intraspecific variation can have large implications for ecological processes. Here, we studied whether there is meaningful intraspecific variation in the ecohydrological traits, biomass allocation, and decomposability in Sphagnum moss, and if so, to explore the spatial pattern of variability. We implemented a hierarchical design in which we quantified traits of S. fuscum at three spatial scales: (i) between individuals within 8 cm2 patches; (ii) between replicate patches located within a single hummock or hollow location; and (iii) between hummocks. Although we focused on S. fuscum, we also compared the v...
