Significance of the High Abundance of Pentacyclic Triterpenyl and Hopenyl Acetates in <i>Sphagnum</i> Peat Bogs from Northern Spain

Global warming is expected to increase the rate of CH<sub>4</sub> emission from acidic peatlands leading to an increased interest on its mechanisms of formation. The main routes are through the reduction of CO<sub>2</sub> by molecular hydrogen and through the cleavage of acet...
