Vegetation of the Continental Northwest Territories at 6 ka BP [PDF]
Pollen records are used to reconstruct vegetation in the continental Northwest Territories at 6 ka (6000 14C yr BP). Picea glauca, P mariana, Larix laricina, Populus tremuloides, P. balsamifera, Alnus crispa and A.

Abstract The Andean Altiplano in South America represents a remarkable mountain ecosystem with unique wildlife. However, knowledge of breeding ecology for birds inhabiting Andean Altiplano is scarce, relying mostly on anecdotal records, and drivers of breeding phenology remain unexplored.

Wetland distribution modelling for optimal land use options in Europe [PDF]
This spatial study contributes to a modelling project that, in combination with biodiversity analyses and an economic model, evaluates potentials to preserve existing habitats, to restore formerly native habitats, as well as to create non-native managed ...

Review: From multi-scale conceptualization to a classification system for inland groundwater-dependent ecosystems [PDF]
Aquifers provide water, nutrients and energy with various patterns for many aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems. Groundwater-dependent ecosystems (GDEs) are increasingly recognized for their ecological and socio-economic values.

The long-term fate of permafrost peatlands under rapid climate warming [PDF]
Permafrost peatlands contain globally important amounts of soil organic carbon, owing to cold conditions which suppress anaerobic decomposition. However, climate warming and permafrost thaw threaten the stability of this carbon store.

The Pseudomonadota are abundant and diverse members of high‐latitude soils. Here, we describe two novel species, Janthinobacterium silvisoli and Janthinobacterium saanense, of the order Burkholderiales, isolated from tundra heath and northern boreal forest soils.

Sphagnum-associated methanotrophs : a resilient CH4 biofilter in pristine and disturbed peatlands [PDF]
Boreal peatlands are highly important sinks for carbon (C). This function is enabled largely by one peat-forming plant, the Sphagnum moss. In addition to slowing the decomposition by gradually creating ombrotrophic conditions, it gives a shelter for the ...

Use of Microbial Biofilms to Assess Groundwater Quality in Karstic Ecosystems
Analyses of prokaryotic diversity and community structures of biofilms showed variations linked to the nutrient and organic matter conditions in the studied karstic stations. Biofilms developed on artificial substrates appeared as promising indicators to assess groundwater quality in karst.

Carbon Storage in Alpine Mires: A Case Study From Platzertal (Austria)
Alpine peatlands play a crucial role in mountain watershed functions and services while supporting high biodiversity. Their reliance on cool and humid conditions makes them particularly vulnerable to climate change, including rising temperatures and ...

Relationship between ecosystem productivity and photosynthetically-active radiation for northern peatlands [PDF]
We analyzed the relationship between net ecosystem exchange of carbon dioxide (NEE) and irradiance (as photosynthetic photon flux density or PPFD), using published and unpublished data that have been collected during midgrowing season for carbon balance ...
