Warming-induced permafrost thaw could enhance microbial decomposition of previously stored soil organic matter (SOM) to carbon dioxide (CO2) and methane (CH4), one of the most significant potential feedbacks from terrestrial ecosystems to the atmosphere ...

The biocenotic value of Slītere National Park, Latvia, with special reference to inter-dune mires [PDF]
Inter-dune wetlands in Europe harbour many Red List species because they are very nutrient-poor ecosystems. Most of these wetlands are geologically very young and no or little peat formation has occurred.

Undrained peatland areas disturbed by surrounding drainage: a large scale GIS analysis in Finland with a special focus on aapa mires [PDF]
Half of the Finnish peatland area is drained for forestry. The remaining undrained peatlands are not all pristine, because surrounding drainage may disturb their hydrology.

A synthesis of evidence for the effects of interventions to conserve peatland vegetation: overview and critical discussion [PDF]
Peatlands are valuable but threatened ecosystems. Intervention to tackle direct threats is often necessary, but should be informed by scientific evidence to ensure it is effective and efficient.

Multi-decadal studies of community and ecosystemdynamics are rare; however, this time frame is most relevant for assessing the impact of anthropogenic influences and climate change on ecosystems. For this reason, we investigated changes in vegetation and

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.

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 ...

\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.
