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

Recovery of Sphagnum mosses in donor sites after cutting: effects of species and some environmental factors [PDF]

Mires and Peat
Spontaneous revegetation of extracted peatlands is a very slow and sporadic process and, therefore, Sphagnum fragments cut from donor sites are often used for restoration.

SPG4 and Dementia: Expanding the Clinical Spectrum

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Hereditary spastic paraplegia (HSP) is a group of disorders characterized by progressive spasticity and lower limb weakness, with mutations in SPG4/SPAST being the most common cause. Detailed studies and clinical and molecular comparisons across different populations are missing.

A Global Methane Observation System to Reduce Uncertainty for Anthropogenic and Natural Sources and Sinks for Detecting and Attributing Climate Feedbacks

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Conceptual illustration of a Global Ecosystem Methane Observing System (GEM‐OS) integrating satellites, aircraft, atmospheric networks, and ecosystem measurements to quantify methane emissions from anthropogenic and natural sources. The multi‐scale observing framework improves source attribution, reduces uncertainty in regional methane budgets, and ...

A mesocosm approach to study the response of Sphagnum peatlands to hydrological changes: setup, optimisation and performance [PDF]

Mires and Peat, 2015
Sphagnum-dominated peatlands are major carbon pools and sinks, but these functions are threatened by climate change. There is, therefore, a need to better understand how microclimatic changes (soil temperature, soil moisture and water table depth) are ...

A modified D‐galactose‐induced aging rat model with low‐dose intraperitoneal ozone: Redox, functional, and skin outcomes

Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
Male Wistar rats were subjected to d‐galactose‐induced aging, with or without intermittent low‐dose intraperitoneal ozone administration, and evaluated over 8 weeks for redox status and physical performance, including physical health score, morbidity proportion, body weight, muscle strength, hair regrowth, and skin outcome.

Incremental refinement of relevance rankings: Balancing relevance depth and scope

Journal of the Association for Information Science and Technology, EarlyView.
Abstract Delivering both relevant and topically diverse results is a key challenge in information retrieval (IR). This study introduces a hybrid method that incrementally refines rankings by combining probabilistic topic modeling (latent dirichlet allocation [LDA]) with citation‐based pennant retrieval grounded in Relevance Theory (RT), optimizing for ...

Biology of Blattodea and Dermaptera in the Continental Biogeographical Region and Adjacent Areas of European Russia

Diversity
(1) Background: Blattodea and Dermaptera in the temperate forest zone include a limited number of species, some of which are widely distributed and common. However, digital data on their biology remains insufficient.

Inferring Water Table Depth Dynamics from ENVISAT-ASAR C-Band Backscatter over a Range of Peatlands from Deeply-Drained to Natural Conditions

Remote Sensing, 2018
Water table depth (WTD) is one of the key variables controlling many processes in peatlands. Reliable WTD estimates based on remote sensing data would advance peatland research from global-scale climate monitoring to field-scale ecosystem management ...

Sphagnum farming from species selection to the production of growing media: a review [PDF]

Mires and Peat, 2018
Sphagnum farming - the production of Sphagnum biomass on rewetted bogs - helps towards achieving global climate goals by halting greenhouse gas emissions from drained peat and by replacing peat with a renewable biomass alternative.
