Methane emissions variability from a Welsh patterned raised bog
PhDThis work investigated the variability of CH4 emissions from a Welsh raised bog Cors Fochno and evaluated the role of ebullition as a mechanism of CH4 flux to the atmosphere.

The Scottish borders fens : controls on vegetation development and composition. [PDF]
The Scottish Borders fens represent an important group of British fen sites. Despite their small size many of these fens support various rare plant communities and nationally and locally rare plant species as well as a wide range of species ...

Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract As temperatures increase in the Arctic, hydrological change may lead to local soil drying through altered snowpack, evapotranspiration and drainage due to permafrost thaw.

Setting-aside cropland did not reduce greenhouse gas emissions from a drained peat soil in Sweden
In the process of their formation, northern peatlands were accumulating vast amounts of carbon (C). When drained for agricultural use, a large proportion of that C is oxidized and emitted as carbon dioxide (CO2), turning those peatlands to strong CO2 ...

Generalist passerine birds perform a functional role as pollinators in temperate Europe
Nectar‐feeding birds are effective pollinators. In temperate Europe, songbirds visit flowers but lack specialist traits, so functional pollination has been discounted. We use observations, pollen identification and experiments to demonstrate that generalist birds affect fruit‐set of flowering trees.

The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effect of fertilization regime (organic vs. inorganic) on the growth performance, nickel accumulation, and total nickel yield of the nickel hyperaccumulator Bornmuellera emarginata, cultivated under realistic field conditions in its native ultramafic environment in Northern Greece over a 3‐year period ...

Dissolved organic matter photolysis in Canadian arctic thaw ponds
The abundant thaw lakes and ponds in the circumarctic receive a new pool of organic carbon as permafrost peat soils degrade, which can be exposed to significant irradiance that potentially increases as climate warms and ice cover shortens.

This study investigated how species richness and biotope space affect phytoextracted nickel mass. Growing monocultures and bicultures of two endemic species across a nickel stress gradient revealed that bicultures generally enhanced soil nickel bioavailability, aboveground biomass, and nickel phytoextraction compared to monocultures.

Instability of blanket bog slopes on Cuilcagh Mountain, N.W. Ireland
There are many accounts of slope failures on blanket bogs, but their nature and controls are poorly understood. This study investigates the mechanisms of blanket bog failure on Cuilcagh Mountain, north-west Ireland, and identifies the critical factors ...

Palaeowinds and depositional conditions from Holocene loess in Sweden and Finland
The nature of deglacial and Holocene wind regimes in Fennoscandia is debated, as is the degree to which wind‐blown loess deposits exist in the region. Loess deposits in Fennoscandia are often relatively thin, discontinuous and less well‐sorted than typical loess, and questions remain over the degree of their post‐depositional reworking and the impact ...
