Mapping peat thickness and carbon stocks of the central Congo Basin using field data

open access: yesNature Geoscience, 2022
The world’s largest tropical peatland complex is found in the central Congo Basin. However, there is a lack of in situ measurements to understand the peatland’s distribution and the amount of carbon stored in it.

Boron deficiency responses in maize (Zea mays L.) roots

open access: yesJournal of Plant Nutrition and Soil Science, EarlyView., 2023
Abstract Background Boron (B) is an essential micronutrient for plants. Dicot plants respond to insufficient B supply by altering root architecture and root hair growth. How root systems of rather low‐B demanding monocot species such as maize (Zea mays L.) respond to B deficiency in terra has not been experimentally resolved, yet.

Greenhouse gas emissions resulting from conversion of peat swamp forest to oil palm plantation

open access: yesNature Communications, 2020
Conversion of tropical peat swamp forest to drainage-based agriculture alters greenhouse gas (GHG) production, but the magnitude of these changes remains highly uncertain.

Effects of distance from canal and degradation history on peat bulk density in a degraded tropical peatland.

open access: yesScience of the Total Environment, 2020
Over recent decades, the combination of deforestation, peat drainage and fires have resulted in widespread degradation of Southeast Asia's tropical peatlands. These disturbances are generally thought to increase peat soil bulk density through peat drying

Recent atmospheric Pb deposition at a rural site in southern Germany assessed using a peat core and snowpack, and comparison with other archives [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
In a peat bog from Black Forest, Southern Germany, the rate of atmospheric Pb accumulation was quantified using a peat core dated by 210Pb and 14C. The most recent Pb accumulation rate (2.5 mg m−2 y−1) is similar to that obtained from a snowpack on the ...

Origin and fluxes of atmospheric REE entering an ombrotrophic peat bog in Black Forest (SW Germany): Evidence from snow, lichens and mosses [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
The fate of the Rare Earth Elements (REE) were investigated in different types of archives of atmospheric deposition in the Black Forest, Southern Germany: (1) a 70 cm snow pack collected on the domed part of a raised bog and representing 2 months of ...

Pore-scale controls on hydrological and geochemical processes in peat: Implications on interacting processes

open access: yes, 2020
Peatlands are wetlands that provide important ecosystem services including carbon sequestration and water storage that respond to hydrological, biological, and biogeochemical processes.

Global fire emissions and the contribution of deforestation, savanna, forest, agricultural, and peat fires (1997-2009)

open access: yes, 2010
. New burned area datasets and top-down constraints from atmospheric concentration measurements of pyrogenic gases have decreased the large uncertainty in fire emissions estimates. However, significant gaps remain in our understanding of the contribution

Potential Implementation of Social Forestry in Engaging Community Participation in Restoring Peatlands

open access: yesJurnal Ilmu Kehutanan, 2019
Sustainable peatland management of tropical peatland is efforted by restoration to accelerate restoring peatland ecosystem function within an area of Peatland Hydrological Unit (PHU), and to preserve water and regulate water system in a natural way. This
