The biocenotic value of Slītere National Park, Latvia, with special reference to inter-dune mires [PDF]
Mires and Peat, 2019 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.

Net ecosystem productivity and its uncertainty in a diverse boreal peatland [PDF]
, 1999 Net ecosystem exchange (NEE) of CO2 was measured in four peatlands along plant community, hydrologic, and water chemistry gradients from bog to rich fen in a diverse peatland complex near Thompson, Manitoba, as part of the Boreal Ecosystem-Atmosphere ...

Undrained peatland areas disturbed by surrounding drainage: a large scale GIS analysis in Finland with a special focus on aapa mires [PDF]
Mires and Peat, 2019 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]
Mires and Peat, 2019 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.
