Evaluating paleoproxies for peat decomposition and their relationship to peat geochemistry
The Holocene, 2013The past decade has seen a rapid increase in interest in the biogeochemical record preserved in peat, particularly as it relates to carbon dynamics and environmental change. Importantly, recent studies show that carbon dynamics, that is, organic matter decomposition, can influence the record of atmospherically derived elements such as halogens and ...

GROWTH AND SURVIVAL OF BACTERIA IN PEAT: II. PEAT PELLETS
Canadian Journal of Research, 1947Pellets prepared from spongy, unhumified peat, were found to be well suited to the growth of the test organisms and were superior to pellets made from compressed, well humified peat. Sterilization had the effect of lowering somewhat the absorptive capacity of the spongy pellets and increased the buffering capacity.

Can peat soil support a flaming wildfire?
International journal of wildland fire, 2019Smouldering wildfire in peatlands is one of the largest and longest-lasting fire phenomena on Earth, but whether peat can support a flaming fire like other surface fuels is still unclear.

Carbon nanosheet frameworks derived from peat moss as high performance sodium ion battery anodes.
ACS Nano, 2013We demonstrate that peat moss, a wild plant that covers 3% of the earth's surface, serves as an ideal precursor to create sodium ion battery (NIB) anodes with some of the most attractive electrochemical properties ever reported for carbonaceous materials.

Phytohormone in Peats, Sapropels, and Peat Substrates
2016The concentration of indole-3-acetic acid was measured in a low-moor peat, a high-moor peat, moorshes with a different degree of decomposition, and commercial substrates used for horticulture and pomology. In addition, the amount of IAA was determined in sapropels and in soils treated with different types of fertilizers.

Abstract Peat treated with polymeric flocculants dewaters much faster than untreated peat. The flocculants decrease the number of suspended particles and a more porous bed structure is formed. The consumption of cationic polyelectrolytes mainly depends on the charge density of the polymer and on the pH of the peat (i.e. its surface potential).

Peat landslides form a distinct suite of slope failures that are characteristic of landscapes where organic soils dominate. Six main types of peat mass movement are recognized: bog burst, bog flow, bog slide, peat slide, peaty-debris slide, and peat flow.

AbstractThe, island of Fetlar is one of the North Isles of Shetland, lying East of island of Yell, with Hascosay in the sound between. In size it measures roughly six miles by four, and though it is regarded as one of the most fertile areas in Shetland, the extent of arable has receded considerably since about the mid-nineteenthcentury, In the ...

Geotechnical properties of peat soil stabilised with shredded waste tyre chips
, 2016To accommodate major civil engineering projects in or in the vicinity of peatlands, it is essential to stabilise peat deposits. On the other hand, the accumulation of waste tyres in recent decades has caused environmental problems around the world.
