Plants, 2021 Peat moss is an organic substance corroded by sphagnum moss and has a pH of 3.0–4.0. Elemental sulfur is sulfated and oxidized by the action of bacteria to become sulfuric acid. These biological factors can alter the soil environment. Blueberries require

Predictions of settlement in peat soils [PDF]
Quarterly Journal of Engineering Geology and Hydrogeology, 2013 Predictions from laboratory tests of the compression behaviour of peat from 14 sites are compared with full-scale field loading at five sites. Data presented confirm the heterogeneous nature of the deposits. However, for typical engineering works, calculations based on laboratory test data are likely to give reasonable predictions of the ...

Assessing Wood and Soil Carbon Losses from a Forest-Peat Fire in the Boreo-Nemoral Zone [PDF]
, 2021 Forest-peat fires are notable for their difficulty in estimating carbon losses. Combined carbon losses from tree biomass and peat soil were estimated at an 8 ha forest-peat fire in the Moscow region after catastrophic fires in 2010.

Impact of Land-Use Change on Soil Carbon Dynamics in Tropical Peatland, West Kalimantan- Indonesia
Indonesian Journal of Geography, 2020 The conversion of tropical peat forest to other land uses can reduce organic carbon (C) and stable C isotope (δ13C) of peat soil. This research aimed at analyzing the soil organic-C and δ13C of peatland with respect to maturity (fibric, hemic and sapric)

JGEET: Journal of Geoscience, Engineering, Environment and Technology, 2023 Peat soil was categorized as soft soil, which means that the soil is in bad condition and problematic when construction was built on it. It was necessary to increase the carrying capacity of peat soils, one of which is chemical stabilization of the soil,

An adaptive mapping framework for the management of peat soils: a new Irish Peat Soils Map. [PDF]
GeodermaAccurate mapping is necessary for effective management of peat soils to help reduce GHG emissions and improve environmental quality. However, mapping peat soils remains a major challenge: definitions of peat soils vary substantially, field data are sparse and difficult to produce, and remote sensing of limited use for converted peatlands.

Nitrous oxide emissions from fertilized and unfertilized grasslands on peat soil
, 2011 Emissions of nitrous oxide (N2O) from managed and grazed grasslands on peat soils are amongst the highest emissions in the world per unit of surface of agriculturally managed soil.
