Recent atmospheric Pb deposition at a rural site in southern Germany assessed using a peat core and snowpack, and comparison with other archives [PDF]
In a peat bog from Black Forest, Southern Germany, the rate of atmospheric Pb accumulation was quantified using a peat core dated by 210Pb and 14C. The most recent Pb accumulation rate (2.5 mg m−2 y−1) is similar to that obtained from a snowpack on the ...

Species-specific effects of elevated ozone on wetland plants and decomposition processes [PDF]
Seven species from two contrasting wetlands, an upland bog and a lowland rich fen in North Wales, UK, were exposed to elevated ozone (150 ppb for 5 days and 20 ppb for 2 days per week) or low ozone (20 ppb) for four weeks in solardomes.

\u3ci\u3eWilliamsonia Lintneri\u3c/i\u3e (Odonata: Corduliidae) - A First Michigan Record With Additional Notes on \u3ci\u3eW. Fletcheri\u3c/i\u3e [PDF]
Williamsonia lintneri is newly recorded for Michigan, and additional Michigan sites are given for W. fletcheri. Both species appear to be bog/fen- obligate inhabitants, and adults may appear as early as late April in Michi- gan.

Evasion Differential Games in the Space of Square Summable Sequences
In 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 ...

Hydrological self-regulation of domed peatlands in south-east Asia and consequences for conservation and restoration [PDF]
This article explores the hydrological constraints on the existence of forested peat domes (peat swamp forests) in the humid tropics, the self-regulation mechanisms that enable them to persist and the implications for restoration of damaged domes.

Peatlands are the “kidneys” of river basins. However, intensification of agriculture and forestry in Europe has resulted in the degradation of peatlands and their biodiversity (i.e., species, habitats and processes in ecosystems), thus impairing water ...

Vascular plant species response to warming and elevated carbon dioxide in a boreal peatland
Peatlands store a significant amount of terrestrial organic carbon in plant biomass and soils. The Spruce and Peatland Responses Under Changing Environments (SPRUCE) project is a warming and elevated carbon dioxide (eCO _2 ) experiment designed to test ...
