Roots, Tissues, Cells and Fragments—How to Characterize Peat from Drained and Rewetted Fens
We present analyses of macroscopic and microscopic remains as a tool to characterise sedge fen peats. We use it to describe peat composition and stages of peat decomposition, to assess the success of rewetting of a formerly drained fen, and to understand
