Inferring northern peatland methane emissions from testate amoebae: A proof of concept study [PDF]
Mires and Peat, 2023 Peatlands are efficient carbon sinks due to waterlogged soils causing oxygen depletion and slowing organic matter decomposition, leading to peat accumulation.

The comparative use of charcoal frequency, area and morphology to reconstruct fire history in a late Holocene peat sequence from NW Romania [PDF]
Mires and Peat, 2023 Ombrotrophic peatlands are ideal archives for reconstructing charcoal fluxes resulting from vegetation burning. This is because they are sensitive to local environmental changes and the deposition of allochthonous material is exclusively atmospheric ...

Measuring and modeling nitrogen export from cranberry farms
Ecosphere, 2021 Nitrogen (N) pollution is arguably the single greatest threat to coastal water quality in the United States. In the state of Massachusetts, sustainable management of cranberry agriculture requires detailed understanding of potential sources and losses of

Vitality of bog pine and colonising Norway spruce along environmental gradients within a bog [PDF]
Mires and Peat, 2019 Bog pine is an endangered species in Europe as drainage of bogs permits colonisation by Norway spruce, resulting in severe bog pine habitat loss in marginal bog forests, and a habitat shift towards the bog centre where growing conditions are extreme ...

Weak impact of nutrient enrichment on peat: Evidence from physicochemical properties
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2022 Atmospheric deposition of nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) far exceeding the pre-industrial levels have the potential to change carbon (C) dynamics in northern peatlands.

A calculator for local peatland volume and carbon stock to support area planners and decision makers
Carbon Management, 2023 Conserving soil carbon is one of many actions to take in limiting global warming. However, carbon dense peatlands are still being drained or excavated. Infrastructure development is one of the major current threats to boral peatlands in Fennoscandia, but

Regeneration potential of a degraded alpine mountain bog: complex regeneration patterns after grazing cessation and partial rewetting [PDF]
Mires and Peat, 2022 A typical degraded mountain bog in the Swiss Alps was restored by cessation of grazing and partial rewetting. We observed the development of the vegetation over 15 years, starting immediately after the grazing cessation (4 years before rewetting ...
