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

Choose Wisely: Great Variation among Genotypes of Promising Paludiculture Crop Phragmites australis
Plants, 2023 Measures mitigating the climate crisis, such as paludiculture, which is the agriculture on rewetted peatlands, are urgently needed. The cosmopolitan species Phragmites australis has the potential to be used in paludiculture worldwide but is known for its

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 ...

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 ...

A longer-term perspective on human exploitation and management of peat wetlands: the Hula Valley, Israel [PDF]
Mires and Peat, 2012 The influence of non-recent human activities on the structure and functioning of wetlands is frequently overlooked. The Hula wetland in northern Israel was exploited for a variety of resources over thousands of years prior to near-total destruction by ...

Genesis and abiotic characteristics of three high-altitude peatlands in the Tien Shan Mountains (Kyrgyzstan), with focus on silty peatland substrates [PDF]
Mires and Peat, 2016 Peatlands are scarce and threatened ecosystems in the semiarid region of Kyrgyzstan. Knowledge about the Kyrgyz peatlands is still poor and, especially, their genesis has hardly been investigated so far.
