Plant diversity associated with pools in natural and restored peatlands [PDF]
Mires and Peat, 2007 This study describes plant assemblages associated with the edges of peatland pools. We conducted inventories in six natural peatlands in the province of Québec (Canada) in order to measure the contribution of pools to species diversity in climatic ...

Isotope (14C and 13C) analysis of deep peat CO2 using a passive sampling technique [PDF]
, 2009 We developed and tested a new method to collect CO<sub>2</sub> from the surface to deep layers of a peatland for radiocarbon analysis. The method comprises two components: i) a probe equipped with a hydrophobic filter that allows entry of ...

, 2000 The Mackenzie valley is characterized by vast peatlands dominated by two classes, bog and fen; the former is generally frozen and ground ice is common, the latter is unfrozen. Large peatlands are associated with broad featureless glaciolacustrine or till plains while smaller ones occur in low-lying areas between till or eolian ridges.

Assessing habitat suitability for black grouse broods at the bioregional scale
Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.The black grouse Lyrurus tetrix, a galliform species emblematic of the European Alps, is currently threatened by habitat change, particularly given the closure of heathland linked to the rising tree line at higher altitudes. The presence of heathlands in good ecological condition is, however, imperative for the species' reproduction.

Assessing the Value of UAV Photogrammetry for Characterizing Terrain in Complex Peatlands
Remote Sensing, 2017 Microtopographic variability in peatlands has a strong influence on greenhouse gas fluxes, but we lack the ability to characterize terrain in these environments efficiently over large areas.
