Plant community modification may play an important role in peatlands’ carbon balance. We investigated howMolinia caeruleaaltered CO2and CH4fluxes and DOC concentration as well as their sensitivity to water table level, air and soil temperature inSphagnum-dominated peat mesocosms. The presence ofMolinia caeruleasignificantly increased CO2and CH4emissions compared toSphagnumand decreased the DOC concentration. The rise in temperature exponentially increased DOC as well as CO2and CH4emissions.Molinia caeruleadecreased the temperature sensitivity of CO2emissions, suggesting the presence of a more labile substrate (root exudates), while it increased the temperature sensitivity of CH4emissions, suggesting a possible change in methanogenic communities. Our study highlights a strong impact of vegetation change on C dynamics in peatlands.
