Risk factors for dental caries: A case study in peatlands and non-peatlands of West Kalimantan, Indonesia

Journal of Water and Health
The prevalence of dental caries in peatlands and non-peatlands in West Kalimantan require preventive acts based on its natural conditions and the behavior of local communities.

The biophysical climate mitigation potential of boreal peatlands during the growing season

Environmental Research Letters, 2020
Peatlands and forests cover large areas of the boreal biome and are critical for global climate regulation. They also regulate regional climate through heat and water vapour exchange with the atmosphere.

Responses of fine-root biomass and production to drying depend on wetness and site nutrient regime in boreal forested peatland

Frontiers in Forests and Global Change, 2023
IntroductionPeatlands are terrestrial-carbon hotspots, where changes in carbon pools and fluxes potentially caused by drying or warming may have significant feedbacks to climate change. In forested peatlands, fine-root biomass (FRB), and production (FRP)

Review: Fractal Geometry in Precipitation

Atmosphere
Rainfall, or more generally the precipitation process (flux), is a clear example of chaotic variables resulting from a highly nonlinear dynamical system, the atmosphere, which is represented by a set of physical equations such as the Navier–Stokes ...

Potential for Peatland Water Table Depth Monitoring Using Sentinel-1 SAR Backscatter: Case Study of Forsinard Flows, Scotland, UK

Remote Sensing, 2023
Peatland restoration has become a common land-use management practice in recent years, with the water table depth (WTD) being one of the key monitoring elements, where it is used as a proxy for various ecosystem functions.

Substratum sedimentology and topography of two riparian peat bogs in the Bieszczady Mountains (Carpathians) [PDF]

Mires and Peat, 2020
The valley of the upper course of the San River in the Bieszczady Wysokie mountain range is, after the Orawa-Nowy Targ Basin, the area with the largest number of peat bogs in the Polish Carpathians.

Meeting the challenge of mapping peatlands with remotely sensed data [PDF]

Biogeosciences, 2008
Boreal peatlands play a major role in carbon and water cycling and other global environmental processes but understanding this role is constrained by inconsistent representation of peatlands on, or omission from, many global land cover maps.

Intact peatlands experience smaller fire impact on tree cover than modified peatlands and non-peatlands in Indonesia

Frontiers in Forests and Global Change
Tropical ecosystems are increasingly exposed to fire disturbance and their responses have been assessed at regional to global scales. However, these fire-vegetation relationships remain insufficiently understood particularly in intact systems that have ...

Testate Amoeba Functional Traits and Their Use in Paleoecology

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2020
This review provides a synthesis of current knowledge on the morphological and functional traits of testate amoebae, a polyphyletic group of protists commonly used as proxies of past hydrological changes in paleoecological investigations from peatland ...

Peatland diversity in Belizean wetlands and the challenges of greenhouse gas reporting

Scientific Reports
Despite the important climate change mitigation and adaptation benefits, including carbon storage and hydrological regulation that they provide, peatlands in the Caribbean are poorly characterized and increasingly under threat.
