Spring barley yield and nitrogen recovery after application of peat manure and pig slurry [PDF]
, 2006 The effectiveness of peat manure, manufactured of pig slurry and moderately humified Sphagnum peat (slurry:peat ca. 1:1.5 v/v), as nitrogen (N) source for spring barley was investigated in a four.year field experiment on a clay loam soil in south-western

Piping and woody plants in peatlands: Cause or effect? [PDF]
, 2005 This paper presents, for the first time, evidence to show that Calluna species are one causative factor of piping in blanket peat catchments. Ground-penetrating radar survey on 960 plots illustrated that piping was prevalent throughout blanket peats ...

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

A new model of Holocene peatland net primary production, decomposition, water balance, and peat accumulation [PDF]
, 2010 Peatland carbon and water cycling are tightly coupled, so dynamic modeling of peat accumulation over decades to millennia should account for carbon-water feedbacks.
