Soil organic matter carbon chemistry signatures, hydrophobicity and humification index following land use change in temperate peat soils

Peatlands play a critical role in the global carbon cycle, storing large amounts of carbon because of a net imbalance between primary production and the microbial decomposition of the organic matter. Nevertheless, peatlands have historically been drained for energy sources (e.g. peat briquettes), fo...
