Dissolved organic carbon and colour dynamics in drained and restored blanket peat [PDF]

, 2007
Peatlands are important terrestrial stores of carbon and a principal source of dissolved organic carbon (DOC) to the fluvial environment. Whilst often regarded as a net carbon sink, enhanced DOC concentrations and an associated rise in the level of water

Development of a direct simple shear apparatus for peat

, 2009
This paper discusses the design and development of a new direct simple shear (DSS) apparatus for testing peat soils. The apparatus has been designed to test peat at low effective stresses, representative of its in-situ condition and allow the ...

Proton NMR relaxometry as a useful tool to evaluate swelling processes in peat soils

, 2010
Dramatic physical and physico-chemical changes in soil properties may arise due to temperature and moisture variations as well as swelling of soil organic matter (SOM) under constant conditions.

Peat soil degradation under coconut monoculture on Indonesian tropical peatlands

Jurnal Ilmiah Pertanian
The conversion of tropical peat swamp forests to agricultural systems is widely known to alter peat soil properties through drainage-induced oxidation and accelerated organic matter decomposition.

Ecohydrologically important subsurface structures in peatlands revealed by ground-penetrating radar and complex conductivity surveys. [PDF]

, 2008
The surface pattern of vegetation influences the composition and humification of peat laid down during the development of a bog, producing a subsurface hydrological structure that is expected to affect both the rate and pattern of water flow.

Indicators of peat soil degradation in the Biebrza valley, Poland

Environmental Protection and Natural Resources, 2019
Peat mineralisation leads to net loss of CO2 to the atmosphere, as well as to release of other elements from the decomposed soil organic matter (SOM) to groundwater. This results in the degradation of peat soils and the ecosystems they support.

Early effects of peat ash on growth and mineral nutrition of the silver birch (Betula pendula) on a mined peatland.

Silva Fennica, 1988
Two-year-old silver birch ( Roth) seedlings were fertilized with three peat ash dosages (10, 50 and 150 metric t/ha) and planted at three densities (2,000, 10,000 and 25,000 seedlings/ha).

Terrestrial organic carbon storage in a British moorland [PDF]

, 2001
Accurate estimates for the size of terrestrial organic carbon (C) stores are needed to determine their importance in regulating atmospheric CO2 concentrations. The C stored in vegetation and soil components of a British moorland was evaluated in order to:

Assessment of variability of peat physicochemical properties, subsidence and their interactions within Selangor forests [PDF]

, 2023
Tropical peat swamp forests are carbon rich ecosystems both above- and below-ground, which play a major role in the climate balance of the earth. The majority of the world’s tropical peat forest cover is located in Southeast Asia and is increasingly ...

Volcanogenic Sulfate and Fluoride deposition: Effects on organic and mineral soil gas fluxes and chemistry [PDF]

, 2011
This thesis focuses on the environmental effects of volcanic eruptions such as Eyjafjallajökull (2010) from which volcanic gases and ash particles can impact upon ecosystems located thousands of kilometres from the source. Currently very little is known
