Vascular plants affect properties and decomposition of moss-dominated peat, particularly at elevated temperatures

<p>Peatlands, storing significant amounts of carbon, are extremely vulnerable to climate change. The effects of climate change are projected to lead to a vegetation shift from <i>Sphagnum</i> mosses to sedges and shrubs. Impacts on the present moss-dominated peat remain largely unk...
