The distribution of peatland in Europe. [PDF]
, 2006 This paper derives the distribution of peatland in Europe as the extent of peat and peat-topped soils indicated by soil databases. The data sources were the 1:1,000,000 European Soil Database (v1.0) and a data set of organic carbon content (%) for the ...

Testing the use of bomb radiocarbon to date the surface layers of blanket peat [PDF]
, 2004 The recently formed surface layers of peatlands are archives of past environmental conditions and can have a temporal resolution considerably greater than deeper layers.

Land management (specifically controlled heather burning) as a factor controlling carbon loss from upland peat soils [PDF]
, 2009 Peatlands contain a significant proportion of the worlds’ total soil carbon, and are commonly assumed to serve as carbon sinks. There is however increasing evidence of carbon loss from peat soils, and DOC concentrations in UK rivers have increased ...

Peat slope failure in Ireland [PDF]
, 2008 Recent peat failures in Ireland in the autumn of 2003 at Pollatomish, County Mayo and Derrybrien, County Galway have focused attention on such events. However, peat failures are not a recent phenomenon with possible evidence of peat failures in Ireland

Irish peat slides 2006 – 2010 [PDF]
, 2011 The purpose of this paper is to present a review of peat landslide events in Ireland since 2003, when two significant events occurred. Since 2003, there have been at least thirteen such events. Several of these events included more than one slide.

Dissolved organic carbon and colour dynamics in drained and restored blanket peat [PDF]
, 2007 Peatlands are important terrestrial stores of carbon and a principal source of dissolved organic carbon (DOC) to the fluvial environment. Whilst often regarded as a net carbon sink, enhanced DOC concentrations and an associated rise in the level of water

Development of a direct simple shear apparatus for peat [PDF]
, 2009 This paper discusses the design and development of a new direct simple shear (DSS) apparatus for testing peat soils. The apparatus has been designed to test peat at low effective stresses, representative of its in-situ condition and allow the ...

Effects of shading on relative competitive advantage of three species of Sphagnum [PDF]
Mires and Peat, 2015 (1) Sphagnum is an important genus of bryophytes holding 10–15 % of the terrestrial carbon stock. With climate change a drier surface may increase the abundance of vascular plants on peatlands, so shading of Sphagnum may increase. Here we describe growth

Construction of Buildings on Peat: Case Studies and Lessons Learned
MATEC Web of Conferences, 2016 Building construction on soft soils including on peat has many challenges and difficulties. The failed and deteriorated buildings have a big impact on the community. The IConCEES International Workshop 2015 which was conducted on October 2015 convened as
