Anaerobic respiration and methanogenesis have been found to slow-down in water saturated peat soils with accumulation of metabolic end-products, i.e. dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC) and methane (CH4), due to a lack of solute and gas transport. So far it is not well understood how solute and gas transport may control this effect. We conducted a column experiment with homogenized ombrotrophic peat over a period of 300 days at 20 °C. We specifically evaluated the effects of diffusive flux as control, downward advective water flux, intensified ebullition by conduit gas transport and diffusive oxygen supply on controlling anaerobic decomposition rates and carbon (C) turnover. To simulate advective flux, water and solutes were recirculated downward through the column after stripping of dissolved gases. We analyzed DIC and CH4concentrations, production rates and fluxes, gas filled porosity, oxygen profiles (O2) and microbial C biomass over time. DIC residence time thereby served as proxy to characterize transport. A slowdown of anaerobic respiration and methanogenesis evolved with the accumulation of the end-products DIC and CH4and set in after 150 days. This slow-down was accompanied by a decrease in the distribution of microbial biomass C with depths. Anaerobic DIC and CH4production rates were fastest close to the water table and sharply slowed with depth. Accumulation of DIC and CH4in the homogeneous peat material throughout the column decreased decomposition constants from about 10−5near the surface to 10−9year−1deeper in the profile. Advective water transport extended the zone of active methanogenesis compared to a diffusive system; experimental enhancement of ebullition had little or no effect as well as strictly anoxic conditions. DIC residence time was negatively correlated to anaerobic respiration suggesting this parameter to be a predictor of anaerobic peat decomposition in peatlands. Overall, this study suggests that burial of peat and accumulation of metabolic end-products effectively slows decomposition and that this effect needs to be considered to explain peat accumulation and the response of peat mineralization rates to changes in environmental conditions.
