Chemical and Phytocoenological Characteristics of Two Different Slovak Peatlands
Plants, 2021 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]
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 PeatSpontaneous revegetation of extracted peatlands is a very slow and sporadic process and, therefore, Sphagnum fragments cut from donor sites are often used for restoration.

Wolf spiders (Araneae: Lycosidae) on the overgrowing peat bog in Dubravica (north-western Croatia) [PDF]
, 2013 The peat bog in Dubravica is of spread interest due to its overgrowing by the process of natural succession, causing the habitat to become dryer and shadier. The dominance structure and phenology of wolf spiders on the Dubravica bog was studied.

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 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 ...

American Journal of Botany, EarlyView.Abstract Premise Understanding the habitat requirements of imperiled flora is critical for informing ex situ conservation practices, designing effective reintroduction strategies, and understanding how climate change will impact such species, especially in montane regions with high levels of environmental heterogeneity. In southern Appalachia, USA, the

Re-identification of c. 15 700 cal yr BP tephra bed at Kaipo Bog, eastern North Island: implications for dispersal of Rotorua and Puketarata tephra beds. [PDF]
, 2003 A 10 mm thick, c. 15 700 calendar yr BP (c. 13 100 14C yr BP) rhyolitic tephra bed in the well-studied montane Kaipo Bog sequence of eastern North Island was previously correlated with Maroa-derived Puketarata Tephra.

American Journal of Industrial Medicine, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Background Mining workers are exposed to a range of respiratory hazards, including respirable dust. While exposure to respirable crystalline silica in the mining industry has been found to be common, less is known about trends in measured levels of exposure to respirable dust overall.
