ICESat/GLAS Data as a Measurement Tool for Peatland Topography and Peat Swamp Forest Biomass in Kalimantan, Indonesia [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Indonesian peatlands are one of the largest near-surface pools of terrestrial organic carbon. Persistent logging, drainage and recurrent fires lead to huge emission of carbon each year.

RESULTS OF TESTING OAT BREEDING MATERIAL IN THE TAIGA ZONE OF WESTERN SIBERIA

open access: yesТруды по прикладной ботанике, генетике и селекции, 2018
The studies found out that the productivity and quality of oat crop accessions were influenced by the climatic conditions during the vegetation period and plant mineral nutrition level.

Tropical peatland carbon storage linked to global latitudinal trends in peat recalcitrance

open access: yesNature Communications, 2018
Peatlands represent large terrestrial carbon banks. Given that most peat accumulates in boreal regions, where low temperatures and water saturation preserve organic matter, the existence of peat in (sub)tropical regions remains enigmatic.

The performance of polyurethane grout to stabilise hemic peat [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
Peat has always considered as a challenging ground for any form of construction due to its engineering characteristics such as high short-term settlement, prolonged long term post construction settlement and high natural moisture content exceedingly ...

Dynamics of methane ebullition from a peat monolith revealed from a dynamic flux chamber system [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Methane (CH4) ebullition in northern peatlands is poorly quantified in part due to its high spatiotemporal variability. In this study, a dynamic flux chamber (DFC) system was used to continuously measure CH4 fluxes from a monolith of near‐surface ...

Toward a mechanistic understanding of “peat collapse” and its potential contribution to coastal wetland loss

open access: yesEcology, 2019
Coastal wetlands are susceptible to loss in both health and extent via stressors associated with global climate change and anthropogenic disturbance. Peat collapse may represent an additional phenomenon contributing to coastal wetland loss in organic ...

Spring barley yield and nitrogen recovery after application of peat manure and pig slurry [PDF]

open access: yes, 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

The potential of biomarker proxies to trace climate, vegetation, and biogeochemical processes in peat: A review

open access: yesGlobal and Planetary Change, 2019
Molecular fossils (biomarkers) are abundant in organic rich natural archives such as peats and lignites (fossilized peat), where their distribution is governed by their biological source, environmental factors, such as temperature and pH, and diagenetic ...

Shallow peat is most vulnerable to high peat burn severity during wildfire

open access: yesEnvironmental Research Letters, 2020
Peatlands typically act as carbon sinks, however, increasing wildfire severity and annual area burned may challenge this carbon sink status. Whilst most peat resistance to wildfire and drought research is based on deep peatlands that rarely lose their ...
