A novel testate amoebae trait-based approach to infer environmental disturbance in Sphagnum peatlands
Explore this paper's citation graph
Summary
It is shown that functional traits of testate amoebae (TA), a common group of palaeoecological indicators, can serve as an early warning signal of ecosystem disturbance and help determine thresholds of ecosystem resilience to disturbances in peatlands.
