Northern Hemisphere peatlands dominated by living and dead peatmosses (Sphagnum) harbor almost 30% of the global soil carbon pool and have functioned as a net carbon sink throughout the Holocene, and probably since the late Tertiary. Before that time, northern latitudes were dominated by tropical and temperate plant groups and ecosystems.engBryophyte evolutionSphagnumMiocenePeatmossesPeatlandsjournal article2014-10-24http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.ympev.2010.01.020
