PhD opportuntiy: Developing a trait-based approach to understand Sphagnum responses to hydrological stress in the context of peatland restoration - Apex Scholarships

Large-scale and fast-paced peatland restoration interventions currently happening across the UK are only going to lead to successful outcomes if they increase the capacity of degraded blanket bogs to withstand future threats such as climate change, but also invasive species, wildfires or pollution. This capacity reflects resilience thresholds that relate to the re-establishment of feedbacks between production, decomposition, and eco-hydrology, which are still poorly characterised for blanket bogs.
