Ecosphere, 2022 We studied a pristine, prominently patterned raised bog in Tierra del Fuego, Argentina, to disentangle the complex interactions among plants and water and peat. The studied bog lacks complicating features often posed by other bogs.

Does the autecology of core species reflect the synecology of functional groups during the assembly of vegetation in abandoned extracted peatlands? [PDF]
Mires and Peat, 2019 The combined autecology of individual species is expected to reflect the synecology of their respective functional groups and vice versa, but this assumption has been rarely assessed.

Modelling the hydrological interactions between a fissured granite aquifer and a valley mire in the Massif Central, France [PDF]
Hydrology and Earth System Sciences, 2021 We developed a high-resolution MIKE SHE/MIKE 11 model of a 231.3 ha headwater catchment in the granitic uplands of the French Massif Central to estimate the contribution of groundwater upwelling to the water balance of the Dauges mire, an acidic valley ...

Plant diversity and functional trait composition during mire development [PDF]
, 2018 During succession, plant species composition undergoes changes that may have implications for ecosystem functions. Here we aimed to study changes in plant species diversity, functional diversity and functional traits associated with mire development.

Towards large-scale paludiculture: addressing the challenges of biomass harvesting in wet and rewetted peatlands [PDF]
Mires and Peat, 2015 Peatland drainage causes peat degradation, which results in high greenhouse gas emissions and ongoing subsidence of the ground surface. To avoid further land degradation, the rewetting of peatlands is essential. The new land use concept of paludiculture -

Quaternary, 2023 West Siberian mires covering more than 50% of area in the subarctic are still poorly investigated despite their thick peat sediments suitable for paleogeographic research of past long-term landscape and climatic changes.

Paludiculture on former bog grassland: Profitability of Sphagnum farming in North West Germany [PDF]
Mires and Peat, 2020 Sphagnum farming provides an alternative to detrimental peatland drainage in two ways. Firstly, Sphagnum mosses are cultivated on rewetted peatlands. Secondly, Sphagnum biomass is a high-quality growing media constituent suitable for replacing peat in ...

Constructing recent peat accumulation chronologies using atmospheric fall-out radionuclides [PDF]
Mires and Peat, 2011 Radionuclide dating is a robust technique for establishing the recent accumulation rate for most peatlands. In this article we review the production of ‘fall-out’ radionuclides and the concepts underlying the dating method. Some inherent problems such as

A calculator for local peatland volume and carbon stock to support area planners and decision makers
Carbon Management, 2023 Conserving soil carbon is one of many actions to take in limiting global warming. However, carbon dense peatlands are still being drained or excavated. Infrastructure development is one of the major current threats to boral peatlands in Fennoscandia, but
