Seasonal variation in nitrogen isotopic composition of bog plant litter during 3years of field decomposition [PDF]
, 2018 In this study, we describe the seasonal variation in 15N abundance in the litter of two Sphagnum species and four vascular plant species during 3years of field decomposition in an Italian Alpine bog.

Abstract Peatlands are well-known emitters of methane. European alpine peatlands share certain characteristics with boreal peatlands, despite being located at temperate latitudes, such as a strong seasonality with snowfall in winter and a short summer and growing season.

Methane emissions from an alpine fen in central Switzerland [PDF]
, 2018 Methane emissions and below ground methane pore water concentrations were determined in an alpine fen at 1,915m a.s.l. in central Switzerland. The fen represented an acidic (pH 4.5-4.9), nutrient-poor to mesotrophic habitat dominated by Carex limosa ...

Management recommendations [PDF]
The acute succession problem justifies an opportunistic use of all suitable methods on the short-term (10 years). The ban on winter burning should be (temporally) lifted.

Análisis de la concentración de carbono y composición vegetal en humedales de páramo altoandinos en una gradiente altitudinal en el Parque Nacional Cayambe Coca [PDF]
, 2017 Andean paramos are tropical ecosystems whose topographic and climatological patterns allow the formation of peatlands, which are flooded or semi-flooded areas that accumulate large layers of organic soil called peat.
