BRYONET

Quick reply. Very little C is stored in the temperate zone. The vast
majority is in the northern boreal zone and that's where fuscum
shines , at least in my opinion. But we should get the peatland
ecologist's opinions. I think they can even identify fuscum! (Sorry
about the taxonomist insult).
