This study is part of the Spruce and Peatland Responses Under Changing Environments (SPRUCE) experiment, which is the primary component of the Terrestrial Ecosystem Science Focus Area of ORNL's Climate Change Program, focused on terrestrial ecosystems and the mechanisms that underlie their responses to climatic change. This project seeks to assess the response of northern peatland ecosystems to increases in temperature and exposures to elevated atmospheric CO2 concentrations.
