“Peat soil microbiomes and their response to the practice of rewetting”
Abstract:
Drainage of high-organic peatlands for agricultural purposes has led to increased greenhouse gas emissions and loss of biodiversity. In the last decades, rewetting of peatlands is on the rise worldwide, to mitigate these negative impacts. However, it remains still questionable how rewetting would influence peat microbiomes as important drivers of nutrient cycles and ecosystem restoration. I will present the spatial and temporal dynamics of peat microbiomes in different temperate peatlands, and how rewetting has changed the peat soil biomes regarding all domains of life (archaea, bacteria and eukaryotes). In particular, I will discuss how changes in microbial communities indicate the important environmental consequences of rewetting relevant to carbon balance and greenhouse gas productions, and how rewetting influences the microbiomes from different peatlands in different ways.
