Artificial drainage of peatlands: hydrological and hydrochemical process and wetland restoration [PDF]

, 2004
Peatlands have been subject to artificial drainage for centuries. This drainage has been in response to agricultural demand, forestry, horticultural and energy properties of peat and alleviation of flood risk.

Electron-Donating Phenolic and Electron-Accepting Quinone Moieties in Peat Dissolved Organic Matter: Quantities and Redox Transformations in the Context of Peat Biogeochemistry.

Environmental Science and Technology, 2018
Electron-donating phenolic and electron-accepting quinone moieties in peat dissolved organic matter (DOM) are considered to play key roles in processes defining carbon cycling in northern peatlands.

Arsenic Fate in Peat Controlled by pH-dependent Role of Reduced Sulfur.

Environmental Science and Technology, 2020
Reduced sulfur (S) has a contrasting role on the fate of arsenic (As) in peatlands. Sulfur bridges provide efficient binding of As to organic carbon (C), but formation of aqueous As-S species, so-called thioarsenates, leads to low to no sorption tendency

Form and load transfer aspects of foundation systems: Case‐based implementation and adaptation for buildings

Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
Upon conceptualization of structural behavior, foundations in terms of their form are divided into linear (1D), planar (2D), and volumetric (3D). Regarding the load transfer mechanisms, linear foundation systems are considered vector‐acting, planar foundations are divided into section and surface‐acting, and volumetric ones are recognized as block ...

Respiration of aged soil carbon during fall in permafrost peatlands enhanced by active layer deepening following wildfire but limited following thermokarst [PDF]

, 2018
Permafrost peatlands store globally significant amounts of soil organic carbon (SOC) that may be vulnerable to climate change. Permafrost thaw exposes deeper, older SOC to microbial activity, but SOC vulnerability to mineralization and release as carbon ...

Transient simulations of the carbon and nitrogen dynamics in northern peatlands: from the Last Glacial Maximum to the 21st century [PDF]

, 2012
The development of northern high-latitude peatlands played an important role in the carbon (C) balance of the land biosphere since the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM).

Comprehensive Experimental Studies on Smoldering Characteristics of Forest Soil from pinus sylvestris Vegetation

Fire and Materials, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Smoldering combustion, often linked with forest fires in coniferous forests, pose significant health and environmental risks, particularly in densely populated countries like Germany, where these fires commonly occur in wildland–urban interface (WUI) areas.

Long-term rainfall and water table influence on groundwater nutrient dynamics from an oil palm plantation

Water Science
Conservation of groundwater quality is of paramount importance for sustainable agricultural management. Hydrological factors such as rainfall patterns and water table (WT) management, including drainage practices, play a crucial role in groundwater ...

Study on the vertical distribution of carbon and ash content and its relationship with ombrogenous peat depth [PDF]

BIO Web of Conferences
Peatlands have unique characteristics that are largely determined by the peat thickness. Ombrogenous peat has a high carbon content and low ash content, but not many studies have reported that this relationship also occurs in deep peat domes.
