Ecohydrologically important subsurface structures in peatlands revealed by ground-penetrating radar and complex conductivity surveys. [PDF]
The surface pattern of vegetation influences the composition and humification of peat laid down during the development of a bog, producing a subsurface hydrological structure that is expected to affect both the rate and pattern of water flow.

Agricultural crops are frequently exposed to severe frost events in the spring, which can greatly impact yield quantity and quality. To manage frost effectively, early warning systems are often used to forecast potential spring frost in advance of an ...

Chemical and Phytocoenological Characteristics of Two Different Slovak Peatlands
This paper presents the results of pedological and phytocoenological research focused on the detailed research of chemical parameters (pH, organic carbon, and nutrients), risk elements (As-metalloid, Cd, Co, Cr, Cu, Ni, Pb, and Zn), and species ...

Invertebrate communities in a modified isolated raised bog compared to an intact raised bog in New Zealand [PDF]
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

Behaviour of carbon dioxide and water vapour flux densities from a disturbed raised peat bog
Measurements of carbon dioxide and water vapour flux densities were carried out for a disturbed raised peat bog in the north of the Netherlands during an 18 month continuous experiment. Tussock grass (sp. Molinea caerulae) mainly dominated the vegetation

Recovery of Sphagnum mosses in donor sites after cutting: effects of species and some environmental factors [PDF]
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
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 mesocosm approach to study the response of Sphagnum peatlands to hydrological changes: setup, optimisation and performance [PDF]
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 ...

Pristane (5 mL/kg) induced a robust systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE)‐like phenotype in Macaca fascicularis, marked by elevated antinuclear antibody (ANA) levels and systemic clinical, hematological, and biochemical changes. This model closely reflects human SLE and provides a translational platform for disease studies and therapeutic evaluation ...
