Description:

Peatland plant community composition and peatland processes such as carbon sequestration are strongly related to environmental conditions. Although peatlands are to some extent self-regulating and relatively resistant to climatic fluctuations, extreme perturbations in environmental conditions cause changes in the peatland species composition, and impact microbial communities and biogeochemical processes. Moreover, the devastating effect of summer drought on the peatland vegetation and carbon sequestration have been reported recently, and confirms the belief that drought impacts ecosystem processes to a larger extent than changes in any other environmental factor. Hence, enhanced summer drought may cause peatlands to shift from carbon sinks to carbon sources. My research focusses on understanding the underlying mechanisms that play a role in such shifts, and integrates botanical, microbial and biogeochemical processes.
