Question

How do sphagnum mosses contribute to the carbon cycle? As decomposers, they release large amounts of CO2 into the atmosphere. As heterotrophs, they remove large amounts of CO2 from the atmosphere. They acidify their environment, which limits decomposition and CO2 release from peat bogs. They produce phenols, which release the carbon stored in peat bogs.
