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.

Evasion Differential Games in the Space of Square Summable Sequences
GamesIn this article, we consider simple-motion pursuit–evasion differential games in the Hilbert space of square summable sequences. We show that when the players have the same dynamic capabilities, evasion is possible under some assumptions about the ...

Changes in vegetation structure and composition of a lowland mire over a sixty‐five‐year interval
Ecology and Evolution, 2020 Mires are characterized by plant communities of high conservation and societal value, which have experienced a major decline in area in many parts of the world, particularly Europe. Evidence suggests that they may be particularly vulnerable to changes in

Invertebrate communities in a modified isolated raised bog compared to an intact raised bog in New Zealand [PDF]
Mires and Peat, 2020 The effect of modifying New Zealand’s threatened peat bogs on invertebrate communities is poorly known, despite their susceptibility to disturbance and their ecological significance. Using Malaise traps, we surveyed and compared terrestrial invertebrates

Aniulus Paludicolens, N. SP. (Julida: Paraiulidae), a Bog-Dwelling Milliped [PDF]
, 2017 Almost without exception, millipeds require a continuously moist substratum, yet they do not tolerate flooding. Other ecological factors that limit their distribution are subtle and difficult to recognize. Aniulus paludicolens, n.

Fire severity is more sensitive to low fuel moisture content on Calluna heathlands than on peat bogs [PDF]
, 2018 Moorland habitats dominated by the dwarf shrub Calluna vulgaris provide important ecosystem services. Drought is projected to intensify throughout their range, potentially leading to increased fire severity as moisture is a key control on severity.
