Assessment of the effect of drainage on the accumulation of Zn, Cu, Pb, and Cd in bog plants: a case study of two raised bogs in Western Siberia [PDF]
Mires and Peat, 2021 The lowering of water level caused by bog drainage increases the exposure of the upper layers of peat deposits to oxygen, which leads to an increase in the degree of peat decomposition.

Scientific Reports, 2021 Tropical peat swamp forest is a global store of carbon in a water-saturated, anoxic and acidic environment. This ecosystem holds diverse prokaryotic communities that play a major role in nutrient cycling. A study was conducted in which a total of 24 peat

Dating basal peat: The geochronology of peat initiation revisited
Quaternary Geochronology, 2022 Attributing the start of peat growth to an absolute timescale requires dating the bottom of peat deposits overlying mineral sediment, often called the basal peat. Peat initiation is reflected in the stratigraphy as a gradual transition from mineral sediment to increasingly organic material, up to where it is called peat.

Spatial differentiation and temporal dynamics of drained raised bogs in Western Siberia [PDF]
E3S Web of Conferences, 2021 This study analysed the influence of drainage on the vegetation cover of raised bogs in the taiga zone of Western Siberia. The study was based on a temporal analysis of Landsat satellite imagery data using the normalised difference vegetation index (NDVI)

Investigating peat deposits with ground-penetrating radar – a case study of drained bogs in Western Siberia, Russia [PDF]
E3S Web of Conferences, 2021 This paper deals with the assessment of the peat deposit transformation of two drained raised bogs (the Bakchar bog drained for forestry and the Ust-Bakchar bog drained for peat extraction) within the Western Siberian taiga zone.

A new model of Holocene peatland net primary production, decomposition, water balance, and peat accumulation [PDF]
, 2010 Peatland carbon and water cycling are tightly coupled, so dynamic modeling of peat accumulation over decades to millennia should account for carbon-water feedbacks.

Ecohydrologically important subsurface structures in peatlands revealed by ground-penetrating radar and complex conductivity surveys. [PDF]
, 2008 The surface pattern of vegetation influences the composition and humification of peat laid down during the development of a bog, producing a subsurface hydrological structure that is expected to affect both the rate and pattern of water flow.

Chemical and biological reactions of solidification of peat using ordinary portland cement (OPC) and coal ashes [PDF]
, 2021 Construction over peat area have often posed a challenge to geotechnical engineers. After decades of study on peat stabilisation techniques, there are still no absolute formulation or guideline that have been established to handle this issue.
