The Spruce and Peatland Responses Under Changing Environments project uses a series of enclosures to expose peatland plots to elevated carbon dioxide and temperatures.
The highly instrumented SPRUCE enclosures measured the movement of carbon through peatland plots, recording that warmed peat bogs shifted from carbon accumulators to carbon emitters.
