The ability of contrasting ericaceous ecosystems to buffer nitrogen leaching [PDF]

open access: yesMires and Peat, 2013
Much attention has been given to the carbon balance of peatland and heathland ecosystems and their role as global carbon stores. They are also important as buffers for atmospheric nitrogen (N) pollution, locking N into the soil and vegetation through ...

How the Physical and Chemical Properties Affect the Heavy Metal Content in Surface Water in Different Types of Peatlands

open access: yesLand Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Only ~3% of the global land surface is covered by peatlands, yet more than one‐third of global soil carbon is stored in these ecosystems and contaminant filtration can be provided. The extent to which peat humification (Fibric–Hemic–Sapric) is linked to dissolved heavy metals in peatland surface waters has remained poorly quantified at a ...

A simple index for assessing cumulative human impacts on mountain lakes

open access: yesLimnology and Oceanography: Methods, EarlyView.
Abstract Mountain lakes are highly sensitive ecosystems and effective sentinels of environmental change, yet the exposure and magnitude of the human footprint remain poorly quantified. In this study, we develop a simple and non‐invasive abiotic index to assess cumulative pressures on mountain lakes. The proposed index integrates eight variables grouped

Effect of vibration on adaptation of dental composites in simulated tooth cavities

open access: yes, 2018
This research investigated the effects of vibration on the rheological properties of dental composites and the adaptation of tooth cavity-composite interfaces. A portable vibratory packing device and two composites, micro-hybrid dental composite (MC) and

The Hydrological and Geochemical Isolation of a Freshwater Bog Within a Saline Fen in North-Eastern Alberta

open access: yesMires and Peat, 2013
In the oil sands development region near Fort McMurray, Alberta, wetlands cover ~62 % of the landscape, and ~95 % of these wetlands are peatlands. A saline fen was studied as a reference site for peatland reclamation.

Pinguicula brendae (Lentibulariaceae) sp. nov., a carnivorous plant from a tropical montane cloud forest in Hidalgo, Mexico

open access: yesNordic Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
A new species of Lentibulariaceae, Pinguicula brendae Rodríguez‐Ramírez, H.Shimai & A.R. Andrés‐Hernández, is described based on its unique morphological characteristics. This species is restricted to limestone rock walls in the San Bartolo Tutotepec municipality, central‐eastern Hidalgo, Mexico, where it inhabits a single locality on vertical, north ...
