Methods for determining peat humification and for quantifying peat bulk density, organic matter and carbon content for palaeostudies of climate and peatland carbon dynamics [PDF]

open access: yesMires and Peat, 2011
Quantitative palaeostudies of climate change and carbon dynamics are reliant on precise and accurate laboratory measurements. Here we present laboratory protocols for the colorimetric determination of peat humification and for bulk density and organic ...

Fire Impact on the Formation and Development of the Boreal Pine Wooded Mires

open access: yesDiversity, 2023
Based on the analysis of the botanical composition of the organic-mineral soil layer and peat, dendrochronological and radiocarbon datings, we performed the reconstruction of the development of six pine wooded sphagnum bogs located in the boreal zone of ...

Distribution of biomass along hummock-hollow gradients: A comparison between a North American and a Scandinavian peat bog

open access: yesActa Societatis Botanicorum Poloniae, 2014
This is an attempt to illustrate the universality of cause and effect of the plant interactions in hummock formation. Two bogs, both situated within boreonemoral zone, with comparable structure, but within completly different flora regions, were chosen ...

Vegetation and peat characteristics of restiad bogs on Chatham Island (Rekohu), New Zealand

open access: yes, 2004
Restiad bogs dominated by Sporadanthus traversii on Chatham Island, New Zealand, were sampled to correlate vegetation patterns and peat properties, and to compare with restiad systems dominated by Sporadanthus ferrugineus and Empodisma minus in the ...

Phenotypic profiling of pristane‐induced mimicking human systemic lupus erythematosus in Macaca fascicularis

open access: yesAnimal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
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 ...
