Peat definitions: A critical review

Progress in Physical Geography: Earth and Environment, 2022
Peatlands are carbon-rich ecosystems that comprise the largest terrestrial carbon store. Peatland preservation has been acknowledged on the global scale as a key nature-based component in addressing climate change.

Peat extraction, trade and use in Europe: a material flow analysis

Mires and Peat, 2022
Peat is a fossil material used as a component of horticultural growing media as well as fuel. In a context of climate debates, several European countries have decided to address greenhouse gas emissions from peat extraction and use.

Hydrophobicity of peat soils: Characterization of organic compound changes associated with heat-induced water repellency.

Science of the Total Environment, 2020
Boreal peatlands provide critical global and regional ecosystem functions including climate regulation and nutrient and water retention. Wildfire represents the largest disturbance to these ecosystems. Peatland resilience depends greatly on the extent of

Electron accepting capacity of dissolved and particulate organic matter control CO2 and CH4 formation in peat soils

Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta, 2019
Peatlands are a major source of atmospheric CH4. The availability of terminal electron acceptors largely affects the ratio of CO2 to CH4 formation under water-logged anoxic conditions in these systems. Although the importance of peat organic matter as an

Effects of peat decomposition on δ13C and δ15N depth profiles of Alpine bogs

CATENA, 2019
Decomposition of organic substances is one of the main processes responsible for the signatures of stable carbon and nitrogen isotopes (δ13C and δ15N) in soils and peats.

Peat landslides

2015
Peat landslides form a distinct suite of slope failures which are characteristic of landscapes where organic soils dominate. Six main types of peat mass movement are recognised: bog burst, bog flow, bog slide, peat slide, peaty-debris slide and peat flow.
