Water beetles (Insecta: Coleoptera) of some peatlands in the North Caucasus
Nature Conservation Research: Заповедная наука, 2019 Montane peatlands occupy only 0.1% of the Caucasus territory and are present at altitudes of 600–3400 m a.s.l. Unlike vegetation and stratigraphy, insects of the peatlands have been studied poorly.

Socio Economic Factors Causing Rapid Peatlands Degradation in South Sumatra
Sriwijaya Journal of Environment, 2019 Naturally peatlands ecosystem belongs to a stable ecosystem and tends to increase its peat thickness, but if the balance of its natural conditions is disturbed, then peatlands are easily degraded and lost altogether.

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.

Emerging forest–peatland bistability and resilience of European peatland carbon stores [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2021 Significance Peatlands are sensitive ecosystems that store carbon and water and support biodiversity. Currently, European peatlands are threatened by climate change and exploitation. In this study, we show that many landscape settings may support both wetland ecosystems on thick peat soils and forest ecosystems on thin organic soils.

Carbon storage in the peatlands of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, north-east Germany [PDF]
Mires and Peat, 2010 Peatlands are becoming increasingly important in the context of climate change because they store large amounts of carbon, but information regarding the exact amount of carbon is scarce. In their natural state (as mires), they sequester and store organic

Jurnal Ilmiah Pertanian, 2023 The low productivity of soybeans can be overcome by cultivating them on peatlands, accompanied by the provision of indigenous Rhizobium strains derived from peatlands. Isolating Rhizobium sp. from peatlands is believed to enhance soybean productivity on

Review: Fractal Geometry in Precipitation
AtmosphereRainfall, 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 ...

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.

Ecography, EarlyView.The spatial ecology of stalk‐and‐ambush predators like the Eurasian lynx Lynx lynx depends on prey availability and environmental features, yet the relative roles of these factors remain unclear at large spatial scales. In this study, we analysed lynx habitat use across central and southern Finland using snow‐track data from the Wildlife Triangle ...
