Systematic assessment of damage to buildings due to groundwater lowering-induced subsidence: methodology for large scale application in the Netherlands [PDF]

Proceedings of the International Association of Hydrological Sciences, 2020
In the Netherlands, subsidence of peat and clay soils due to (artificial) lowering of the groundwater table and loading of soft soils is commonplace, causing extensive damage to exposed and vulnerable assets.

Iron (Oxyhydr)Oxides Serve as Phosphate Traps in Tundra and Boreal Peat Soils

Journal of Geophysical Research - Biogeosciences, 2019
Arctic and boreal ecosystems are experiencing pronounced warming that is accelerating decomposition of soil organic matter and releasing greenhouse gases to the atmosphere.

Controls on Near‐Surface Hydraulic Conductivity in a Raised Bog

Water Resources Research, 2019
Shallow water tables protect northern peatlands and their important carbon stocks from aerobic decomposition. Hydraulic conductivity, K, is a key control on water tables.

Can the presence of plantain (Plantago lanceolata L.) improve nitrogen cycling of dairy grassland systems on peat soils?

New Zealand Journal of Agricultural Research, 2019
Reactive nitrogen (N) losses, and in particular nitrous oxide losses, from dairy grasslands on peat soils are generally high as a result of relative high soil organic matter contents, potential N mineralisation rates and shallow groundwater levels ...

A Lumped Bubble Capacitance Model Controlled by Matrix Structure to Describe Layered Biogenic Gas Bubble Storage in Shallow Subtropical Peat

Water Resources Research, 2018
Methane (CH4) accumulates in the gaseous phase in peat soils, being released to the atmosphere at rates higher than those for diffusion and plant‐mediated pathways.

Multicore Study of Upper Holocene Mire Development in West-Frisia, Northern Netherlands: Ecological and Archaeological Aspects

Quaternary, 2020
We studied twelve late Holocene organic deposits in West-Frisia, The Netherlands. Pollen, spores, non-pollen palynomorphs, mosses, other botanical macrofossils and insect remains were recorded for reconstructions of changing environmental conditions ...

Peat Wedges Aid Seedling Establishment on Shallow Soil

The Forestry Chronicle, 1976
Tree planting experiments were established in south-eastern Ontario on old pastures with shallow soil over limestone bedrock known to have frequent moisture deficits during the growing seasons. Wedge-shaped pieces of solid peat, saturated with water, were placed at the bottom of a planting hole to supply water to the roots during the early stages of ...

Improving the determination of soil hydraulic properties of peat soils at different scales [PDF]

, 2017
This thesis improves the characterization of unsaturated hydraulic properties for different types of peat and other organic soils at the laboratory and the field scale. First, suggestions for a general improvement of the unsaturated hydrological modeling

Community-identified key research questions for the future of UK afforested peatlands [PDF]

Mires and Peat, 2018
Large areas of UK peatland were planted with non-native conifers in the twentieth century, changing many aspects of the ecosystem. As these plantations reach harvesting age there are important questions about what should be done with them next, with key ...
