On the validity of modeling concepts for the simulation of groundwater flow in lowland peat areas – case study at the Zegveld experimental field [PDF]
Hydrology and Earth System Sciences, 2011 The groundwater flow models currently used in the western part of The Netherlands and in other similar peaty areas are thought to be a too simplified representation of the hydrological reality. One of the reasons is that, due to the schematization of the

Estimating Soil Compaction Risk at Regional Scales Using Meteorological Data and Soil Spectroscopy
Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Soil compaction is a significant form of soil degradation in Europe, reducing agricultural productivity, limiting carbon sequestration and increasing greenhouse gases emissions. In response, the forthcoming European Union Soil Monitoring and Resilience Law requires spatial assessment of topsoil and subsoil compaction risk at district, that is,

Low-lying agricultural peatland sustainability under managed water regimes [PDF]
, 2006 The combined effects of ditchwater management regime and sub-irrigation spacing on water table fluctuation have been investigated for two low lying agricultural peatlands in England, West Sedgemoor in the Somerset Moors and Methwold Fen in the Norfolk ...

Implementing northern peatlands in a global land surface model: description and evaluation in the ORCHIDEE high-latitude version model (ORC-HL-PEAT) [PDF]
Geoscientific Model Development, 2018 Widely present in boreal regions, peatlands contain large carbon stocks because of their hydrologic properties and high water content, which makes primary productivity exceed decomposition rates. We have enhanced the global land surface model ORCHIDEE

Underground Lag: Fungal Community and Edaphic Legacies After Disturbance
Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Páramos are neotropical mountain ecosystems that regulate water and store large amounts of carbon, but are increasingly degraded by agriculture and grazing. Although native vegetation often recolonizes after abandonment, belowground recovery remains poorly understood.

Source and Management of Water Colour in the River Tees Is the blocking of peat drains an effective means of reducing water colour from upland peats at catchment scales? [PDF]
, 2012 Extensive drainage of UK peatlands has been associated with dehydration of the peat, an increase in water colour and a loss of carbon storage. Water colour has been found to be proportional to the concentration of fluvial dissolved organic carbon (DOC) (

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.Sotol (Dasylirion spp.) is a resilient desert plant that sustains ecosystems, cultures and livelihoods in Chihuahua Desert. Our review highlights its nutritional properties, traditional uses and potential new applications in food, pharmaceuticals, renewable energy and water remediation. By synthesizing evidence across disciplines, we show how sotol can

Dissolved organic carbon and colour dynamics in drained and restored blanket peat [PDF]
, 2007 Peatlands are important terrestrial stores of carbon and a principal source of dissolved organic carbon (DOC) to the fluvial environment. Whilst often regarded as a net carbon sink, enhanced DOC concentrations and an associated rise in the level of water

The unrecognized importance of carbon stocks and fluxes from swamps in Canada and the USA
Environmental Research Letters, 2022 Swamps are a highly significant wetland type in North America both in terms of areal extent and their role in terrestrial carbon cycling. These wetlands, characterized by woody vegetation cover, encompass a diverse suite of ecosystems, including broad ...
