Tracing priming effects in palsa peat carbon dynamics using a stable isotope-assisted metabolomics approach
This suggests that while litter inputs temporarily increase CO<sub>2</sub> emissions, they don't sustain long-term acceleration of stored carbon decomposition or substantially decrease peat's carbon store capacity. Our findings demonstrate how technological advancements in analytical tools can provide a more detailed view of carbon cycling processes in complex soil systems.
