Peat oxic and anoxic controls of <i>Sphagnum</i> decomposition rates in the Holocene Peatland Model decomposition module estimated from litterbag data by H. Teickner, H. Teickner, E. Pebesma, K.-H. Knorr

“…Using either these estimates or the standard parameter values, we test whether the HPM decomposition module fits decomposition rates (<span class="inline-formula"><i>k</i>₀</span>) in <i>Sphagnum</i> litterbag experiments along a gradient from oxic to anoxic conditions.</p> <p>Both litterbag data and model versions where HPM decomposition module parameters were estimated suggest a less steep gradient of decomposition rates from oxic to anoxic conditions and larger anaerobic decomposition rates for several species than the standard parameter values. …”
