OAK RIDGE, Tennessee, Feb. 7 (TNSjou) -- The U.S. Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory issued the following news release:
A quest to understand how Sphagnum mosses facilitate the storage of vast amounts of carbon in peatlands led scientists to a surprising discovery: The plants have sex-based differences that appear to impact the carbon-storing process.
The insight can help researchers better understand how the mosses tolerate stressful environments . . .
