Effects of climate warming on Sphagnum photosynthesis in peatlands depend on peat moisture and species-specific anatomical traits
Vincent Eric Jules Jassey, Constant Signarbieux
Climate change will influence plant photosynthesis by altering patterns of temperature and precipitation, including their variability and seasonality. Both effects may be important for peatlands as the carbon (C) sink potential of these ecosystems depends ...
WILEY2019Effects of Sphagnum Leachate on Competitive Sphagnum Microbiome Depend on Species and Time
Alexandre Buttler, Luca Bragazza, Vincent Eric Jules Jassey, Constant Signarbieux, Bjorn Jozef Maria Robroek, Samuel Thomas Gabriel Hamard
Plant specialized metabolites play an important role in soil carbon (C) and nutrient fluxes. Through anti-microbial effects, they can modulate microbial assemblages and associated microbial-driven processes, such as nutrient cycling, so to positively or ne ...
2019Microbially Mediated Release of As from Mekong Delta Peat Sediments
Rizlan Bernier-Latmani, Manon Frutschi, Karen Elda Viacava Romo, Yuheng Wang, Luca Loreggian
Peat layers within alluvial sediments are considered effective arsenic (As) sinks under reducing conditions due to the binding of As(III) to thiol groups in natural organic matter (NOM) and the formation of As-bearing sulfide phases. However, their possibl ...
2019Sphagnum Species Modulate their Phenolic Profiles and Mycorrhizal Colonization of Surrounding Andromeda polifolia along Peatland Microhabitats
Alexandre Buttler, Vincent Eric Jules Jassey
Sphagnum mosses mediate long-term carbon accumulation in peatlands. Given their functional role as keystone species, it is important to consider their responses to ecological gradients and environmental changes through the production of phenolics. We compa ...
SPRINGER2018Environmental and taxonomic controls of carbon and oxygen stable isotope composition in Sphagnum across broad climatic and geographic ranges
Luca Bragazza, Mariusz Lamentowicz, Bjorn Jozef Maria Robroek
Rain-fed peatlands are dominated by peat mosses (Sphagnum sp.), which for their growth depend on nutrients, water and CO2 uptake from the atmosphere. As the isotopic composition of carbon (C-12(,)13) and oxygen (O-16(,)18) of these Sphagnum mosses are affe ...
COPERNICUS GESELLSCHAFT MBH2018Taxonomic and functional turnover are decoupled in European peat bogs
Alexandre Buttler, Luca Bragazza, Vincent Eric Jules Jassey, Bjorn Jozef Maria Robroek
In peatland ecosystems, plant communities mediate a globally significant carbon store. The effects of global environmental change on plant assemblages are expected to be a factor in determining how ecosystem functions such as carbon uptake will respond. Us ...
Springer Nature2017Impacts of regional climatic fluctuations on radial growth of Siberian and Scots pine at Mukhrino mire (central-western Siberia)
Luca Bragazza, Guillaume Blanchet, Baptiste Calliari
Ring width (TRW) chronologies from Siberian (Pinus sibirica) and Scots (Pinus sylvestris) pine trees were sampled at Mukhrino - a large mire complex in central-western Siberia - to evaluate the impacts of hydroclimatic variability on tree growth over the l ...
Elsevier Science Bv2017The peatland map of Europe
Based on the ‘European Mires Book’ of the International Mire Conservation Group (IMCG), this article provides a composite map of national datasets as the first comprehensive peatland map for the whole of Europe. We also present estimates of the extent of p ...
2017A novel testate amoebae trait-based approach to infer environmental disturbance in Sphagnum peatlands
Vincent Eric Jules Jassey, Mariusz Lamentowicz
Species' functional traits are closely related to ecosystem processes through evolutionary adaptation, and are thus directly connected to environmental changes. Species' traits are not commonly used in palaeoecology, even though they offer powerful advanta ...
Nature Publishing Group2016Significance testing testate amoeba water table reconstructions
Edward Mitchell, Vincent Eric Jules Jassey, Mariusz Lamentowicz
Transfer functions are valuable tools in palaeoecology, but their output may not always be meaningful. A recently-developed statistical test ('randomTF') offers the potential to distinguish among reconstructions which are more likely to be useful, and thos ...
