Radiocarbon and stable carbon analysis of dissolved methane and carbon dioxide from the profile of a raised peat bog [PDF]
, 2011 We developed and tested a new method to separate CO<sub>2</sub> and CH<sub>4</sub> from bulk gas samples for radiocarbon and stable-carbon analysis that utilizes zeolite molecular sieve.

Restoration of lowland raised bogs damaged by peat extraction - with particular emphasis on Sphagnum regeneration. [PDF]
, 1994 1. Revegetation trends in abandoned peat workings indicate that peat cuttings are generally too dry for spontaneous re-establishment of raised bog vegetation. The latter was restricted to small flooded peat pits which had recolonised 'hydroserally' to

Frontiers in Earth Science, 2020 Warming-induced permafrost thaw could enhance microbial decomposition of previously stored soil organic matter (SOM) to carbon dioxide (CO2) and methane (CH4), one of the most significant potential feedbacks from terrestrial ecosystems to the atmosphere ...

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 ...

The biocenotic value of Slītere National Park, Latvia, with special reference to inter-dune mires [PDF]
Mires and Peat, 2019 Inter-dune wetlands in Europe harbour many Red List species because they are very nutrient-poor ecosystems. Most of these wetlands are geologically very young and no or little peat formation has occurred.

Drones, 2021 The mapping of peatland microtopography (e.g., hummocks and hollows) is key for understanding and modeling complex hydrological and biochemical processes. Here we compare unmanned aerial system (UAS) derived structure-from-motion (SfM) photogrammetry and

Regional and local patterns in depth to water table, hydrochemistry and peat properties of bogs and their laggs in coastal British Columbia [PDF]
Hydrology and Earth System Sciences, 2013 In restoration planning for damaged raised bogs, the lagg at the bog margin is often not given considerable weight and is sometimes disregarded entirely.

Instability of blanket bog slopes on Cuilcagh Mountain, N.W. Ireland [PDF]
There are many accounts of slope failures on blanket bogs, but their nature and controls are poorly understood. This study investigates the mechanisms of blanket bog failure on Cuilcagh Mountain, north-west Ireland, and identifies the critical factors ...

Regional patterns and controlling factors in plant species composition and diversity in Canadian lowland coastal bogs and laggs [PDF]
Mires and Peat, 2016 Inventories of natural assemblages of plant species are critical when planning ecological restoration of bogs. However, little is known about the regional variation in plant communities at the margins (laggs) of bogs, even though they are an integral ...

Field Simulation of Global Change: Transplanting Northern Bog Mesocosms Southward [PDF]
, 2010 A large proportion of northern peatlands consists of Sphagnum-dominated ombrotrophic bogs. In these bogs, peat mosses (Sphagnum) and vascular plants occur in an apparent stable equilibrium, thereby sustaining the carbon sink function of the bog ecosystem.
