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 ...

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).

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 ...

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.

Publisher Summary Peat is an accumulation of partially decayed vegetation. It is used mainly for two different purposes—horticulture and energy. Large areas of peatlands have been degraded in many countries around the world, but it is estimated that about 80% of the world's peatlands are still in their natural state.

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.

The release of nitrogen and sulphur compounds in peat pyrolysis was investigated between 300 and 700 °C. Seven peats with different nitrogen and sulphur contents (N:0.8729 %. S: 0.08—0.24 %) were studied. The pyrolysis was studied indirectly by following the elemental composition and the structure of the char residue.

Publisher Summary This chapter presents an overview of the properties of peat. Peat is a brown fibrous mass of partially decayed plant material that has accumulated in situ under waterlogged conditions. The agencies causing decay are mainly aerobic bacteria near the surface (oxidizing conditions) and increasingly anaerobic (reducing) bacteria with ...
