Airborne radiometric data for digital soil mapping of peat at broad and local scales

Geoderma
Peat soils are high in soil organic matter (SOM) and are recognised stores of carbon. Knowledge of the spatial distribution of peat soils is becoming the focus of many studies and is related closely to peatland mapping.

Towards sustainable ecological networks of peat bogs in central Russia; development of local environmental action program (LEAP) as a practical tool for protection and restoration of peat bogs in Egorievsk sub region

, 2001
In central and northern Meshera the habitats for many characteristic peat bog species now show a very fragmented pattern. As a result, the potential for viable populations of characteristic peat bog species has decreased considerably.

The role of blanket peat moorland management in the generation and amelioration of discolouration of surface water supplies

, 2009
Discolouration of surface waters in upland catchments (with associated costs of water treatment and resources) has increased particularly since the severe droughts in the 1970s and mid 1990s.

Sources and management of water colour in the river Tees [PDF]

, 2006
Over recent decades, a wide range of rivers and lakes draining peat-dominated catchments across the UK have exhibited statistically-significant increases in water colour and dissolved organic carbon (DOC) concentration.

Behaviour of carbon dioxide and water vapour flux densities from a disturbed raised peat bog

, 2002
Measurements of carbon dioxide and water vapour flux densities were carried out for a disturbed raised peat bog in the north of the Netherlands during an 18 month continuous experiment. Tussock grass (sp. Molinea caerulae) mainly dominated the vegetation

Factors Influencing the Physical Characteristics of Peats in West Kalimantan's Forests and Oil Palm Plantations

Jurnal Manajemen Hutan Tropika
Peatlands in West Kalimantan play a vital role in regulating water and supporting land productivity, yet they are highly sensitive to changes in hydrological conditions and land use.

Salinity in Delta peat soils

California Agriculture, 1979
Dangerous accumulation of salt in Delta soil can occur when leaching is not effective, so researchers are trying to determine the most effective—and inexpensive—ways to prevent accumulation and/or to remove it.

The impact of sand and clay substratum types on the properties of tropical peat soils and oil palm (Elaeis guineensis) production

Journal of Degraded and Mining Lands Management
Research on peatlands has become increasingly interesting in recent years, particularly in tropical regions. In these regions, including Indonesia, peatlands develop over sand and clay substrata and are widely utilized for oil palm cultivation.

The apparent temperature sensitivity (Q10) of peat soil respiration: A synthesis study

Geoderma
The temperature sensitivity (Q10) of soil respiration is a critical parameter in modeling soil carbon dynamics; yet the regulating factors and the underlying mechanisms of Q10 in peat soils remain unclear.
