Lignin is a phenylpropanoid polymer produced in the secondary cell walls of vascular plants. Although most eudicot and gymnosperm species generate lignins solely via polymerization of p-hydroxycinnamyl alcohols (monolignols), grasses additionally use a fla ...

Northern peatlands are large repositories of carbon. Peatland vascular plant community composition has been functionally associated to a set of biogeochemical processes such as carbon cycling. Yet, we do not fully understand to what extent vascular plant f ...

The thalamus transmits sensory information to the neocortex and receives neocortical, subcortical, and neuromodulatory inputs. Despite its obvious importance, surprisingly little is known about thalamic function in awake animals. Here, using intracellular ...

QuestionA better understanding of the response of Sphagnum mosses and associated vascular plants to climate warming is relevant for predicting the carbon balance of peatlands in a warmer world. Open-top chambers (OTCs) have been used to investigate the eff ...

Functional responses of multitaxa communities to disturbance and stress gradients in a restored floodplain

Edward Mitchell, François Gillet, Renée-Claire Le Bayon, Bertrand Fournier

Trait-based approaches can reveal the mechanisms through which disturbances or stress impact communities, allowing comparisons of the role of different mechanisms in shaping communities among taxonomic groups. Such information can lead to higher comparabil ...

Climate change, vegetation dynamics and carbon cycling in peatlands: the role of vascular plants in CO2 sequestration

Konstantin Svetlozarov Gavazov, Robert Matthew Mills, Luca Bragazza, Bjorn Jozef Maria Robroek

The project VeganPeat is described in this poster. IN particular, the workpackage oncerning the quantification of 14C in soil respired CO2 to detect the role of vascular plant abundance in promoting the decomposition of old organic matter in two peatlands ...

Do peatlands hibernate?

Alexandre Buttler, Vincent Eric Jules Jassey, Constant Signarbieux, Robert Thomas Edmund Mills

Winter seasonality with low amounts of incoming radiation, frost and snow cover characterize large areas at mid- and high latitudes, especially in the arctic and in mountain ranges. Because of these adverse conditions, it is often assumed that ecosystem pr ...

The performance of single- and multi-proxy transfer functions (testate amoebae, bryophytes, vascular plants) for reconstructing mire surface wetness and pH

Edward Mitchell, Mariusz Lamentowicz

Peatlands are widely exploited archives of paleoenvironmental change. We developed and compared multiple transfer functions to infer peatland depth to the water table (DWT) and pH based on testate amoeba (percentages, or presence/absence), bryophyte presen ...

Vegetation-environment relationships in alpine mires of the West Carpathians and the Alps

Lucia Sekulova

QuestionsHow do two distant mountain ranges differ in their vegetation-environment relationships, overall species composition and its variability and species richness of vascular plants and bryophytes in alpine fens and bogs? Is the floristic difference co ...

Spatio-temporal heterogeneity of riparian soil morphology in a restored floodplain

Claire Guenat, Géraldine Michèle Bullinger, Edward Mitchell, Bertrand Fournier

Floodplains have been intensively altered in industrialized countries, but are now increasingly being restored. It is therefore important to assess the effect of these restoration projects on the aquatic and terrestrial components of ecosystems. However, d ...
