Shallow peat is most vulnerable to high peat burn severity during wildfire
Environmental Research Letters, 2020 Peatlands typically act as carbon sinks, however, increasing wildfire severity and annual area burned may challenge this carbon sink status. Whilst most peat resistance to wildfire and drought research is based on deep peatlands that rarely lose their ...

HighTech and Innovation Journal, 2023 Peat soils are highly heterogeneous and considered problematic because they have a high moisture content and low shear strength. It requires stabilization to enhance its engineering properties before it is transformed into a viable construction material.

Mapping peat thickness and carbon stocks of the central Congo Basin using field data
Nature Geoscience, 2022 The world’s largest tropical peatland complex is found in the central Congo Basin. However, there is a lack of in situ measurements to understand the peatland’s distribution and the amount of carbon stored in it.

Arid land research and Management (Print), 2019 Salt-affected soils are widely distributed in arable croplands, so it is important to reclaim these soils. In this study, the effects of different biochar/peat doses (1, 3, and 5%) on 1:5 salt-affected soil: water extract solutions with different soil ...
