TY - T1 - Boreal bog plant communities along a water table gradient differ in their standing biomass but not their biomass production SN - / UR - http://hdl.handle.net/10138/325829 T3 - A1 - Korrensalo, Aino; Kettunen, Laura; Laiho, Raija; Alekseychik, Pavel; Vesala, Timo; Mammarella, Ivan; Tuittila, Eeva-Stiina A2 - PB - Y1 - 2018 LA - eng AB - Question: Peatlands are globally important for carbon storage due to the imbalance between plant biomass production and decomposition. Distribution of both live standing biomass (BM, dry mass g/m(2)) and biomass production (BMP, dry mass gm(-2) growing season(-1)) are known to be dependent on the water table (WT). However, the relations of BM and BMP to WT variation are poorly known. Here we investigated, how the above- and below-ground BM and BMP of three different plant functional types (PFTs)...
