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.

Ammonia volatilization, nitrogen in soil, and growth of barley after application of peat manure and pig slurry [PDF]
, 2006 Peat is added to manure, because its low pH and capacity to adsorb ammonia (NH3) give it potential to reduce nitrogen (N) loss. Peat manure was prepared by mixing pig slurry with moderately humified Sphagnum peat. Less than 1% of applied ammoniacal N was

Origin and fluxes of atmospheric REE entering an ombrotrophic peat bog in Black Forest (SW Germany): Evidence from snow, lichens and mosses [PDF]
, 2006 The fate of the Rare Earth Elements (REE) were investigated in different types of archives of atmospheric deposition in the Black Forest, Southern Germany: (1) a 70 cm snow pack collected on the domed part of a raised bog and representing 2 months of ...

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.

Dynamics of methane ebullition from a peat monolith revealed from a dynamic flux chamber system [PDF]
, 2014 Methane (CH4) ebullition in northern peatlands is poorly quantified in part due to its high spatiotemporal variability. In this study, a dynamic flux chamber (DFC) system was used to continuously measure CH4 fluxes from a monolith of near‐surface ...

Spring barley yield and nitrogen recovery after application of peat manure and pig slurry [PDF]
, 2006 The effectiveness of peat manure, manufactured of pig slurry and moderately humified Sphagnum peat (slurry:peat ca. 1:1.5 v/v), as nitrogen (N) source for spring barley was investigated in a four.year field experiment on a clay loam soil in south-western

ICESat/GLAS Data as a Measurement Tool for Peatland Topography and Peat Swamp Forest Biomass in Kalimantan, Indonesia [PDF]
, 2011 Indonesian peatlands are one of the largest near-surface pools of terrestrial organic carbon. Persistent logging, drainage and recurrent fires lead to huge emission of carbon each year.
