Fen mires with cushion plants in Bale Mountains, Ethiopia [PDF]
Mires and Peat, 2015 In March 2013 we investigated two small peatlands in the Bale Mountains in central Ethiopia. The mires are located on the Sanetti Plateau at an altitude of approximately 4000 metres above mean sea level (a.m.s.l.).

The effects of drainage and restoration of pine mires on habitat structure, vegetation and ants
Silva Fennica, 2016 Habitat loss and degradation are the main threats to biodiversity worldwide. For example, nearly 80% of peatlands in southern Finland have been drained. There is thus a need to safeguard the remaining pristine mires and to restore degraded ones.

Permafrost dynamics structure species compositions of oribatid mite (Acari: Oribatida) communities in sub-Arctic palsa mires [PDF]
Polar Research, 2014 Palsa mires are sub-Arctic peatland complexes, vulnerable ecosystems with patches of permafrost. Permafrost thawing in palsa mires occurs throughout Fennoscandia, probably due to local climatic warming. In palsa mires, permafrost thaw alters hydrological

Trace elements content of surface peat deposits in the Solovetsky Islands (White Sea) [PDF]
Mires and Peat, 2020 Peatlands form environmental archives of trace element deposition. In this regard they are particularly valuable for areas such as the Arctic, where regular pollution monitoring is either impossible or extremely costly.
