How Rising Temperatures are Affecting Microbial Diversity in Northern Peatlands
A new study has found that rising temperatures are linked to a shift in the microbial communities in northern peatlands. The research, published in the journal Nature Communications, focused on two northern peatlands in Finland and found that the microbial communities are particularly sensitive to warming temperatures.
As the climate continues to change, the microbial communities in northern peatlands are feeling the effects. A new study published in Nature Communications has found that rising temperatures are linked to a shift in the microbial communities in these ecosystems. The research team studied two northern peatlands in Finland and found that the microbial communities are particularly sensitive to warming temperatures, resulting in a shift in the microbial composition of the soil. This shift could have serious implications for the health of these ecosystems and the species that rely on them.
