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 ...

Upward-and-downward spread of smoldering peat fire
Proceedings of the Combustion Institute, 2019 Smoldering is the dominant combustion process in peat fire, releasing a large amount of carbon and smoke into the atmosphere. The spread of smoldering in peatland is a multi-dimensional process, which is slow, low-temperature, persistent, and difficult ...

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

New estimate of particulate emissions from Indonesian peat fires in 2015
Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2019 . Indonesia contains large areas of peatland that have been drained and cleared of natural vegetation, making them susceptible to burning. Peat fires emit considerable amounts of carbon dioxide, particulate matter (PM) and other trace gases, contributing

Construction of Buildings on Peat: Case Studies and Lessons Learned
MATEC Web of Conferences, 2016 Building construction on soft soils including on peat has many challenges and difficulties. The failed and deteriorated buildings have a big impact on the community. The IConCEES International Workshop 2015 which was conducted on October 2015 convened as
