TY - T1 - Mechanisms of Carbon Sequestration in Highly Organic Ecosystems – Importance of Chemical Ecology SN - / UR - http://hdl.handle.net/10138/316899 T3 - A1 - Adamczyk, Bartosz; Heinonsalo, Jussi; Simon, Judy A2 - PB - Y1 - 2020 LA - eng AB - Abstract Organic matter decomposition plays a major role in the cycling of carbon (C) and nutrients in terrestrial ecosystems across the globe. Climate change accelerates the decomposition rate to potentially increase the release of greenhouse gases and further enhance global warming in the future. However, fractions of organic matter vary in turnover times and parts are stabilized in soils for longer time periods (C sequestration). Overall, a better understanding of the mechanisms underlying C ...
