- Abstract:
- Peatland soils contain 20 to 30% of the world's soil carbon stock or the equivalent of over 60% of the atmospheric C pool. A pathway is proposed, through which phenol oxidase regulates the size of this major global carbon store. The sequence of events in that pathway will be identified using a series of laboratory manipulations, involving the use of selective inhibitors, gamma irradiation and sensitive assays of microbial activity.
