Taxonomic and functional turnover are decoupled in European peat bogs

Taxonomic and functional turnover are decoupled in European peat bogs

Peatland plant communities are expected to be affected by environmental change, though how assemblages respond is not fully understood. Here, Robroek et al. show that peatland species occur in two distinct clusters, and functional identity and redundancy was maintained under taxonomic turnover.
