Characteristics of Eastern Canadian cultivated Sphagnum and potential use as a substitute for perlite and vermiculite in peat-based horticultural substrates [PDF]
Mires and Peat, 2015 Sphagnum cultivation on harvested peatlands to meet wetland restoration objectives could be an economically feasible activity since cultivated Sphagnum has potential horticultural applications.

Centrohelid heliozoans (Haptista: Centroplasthelida) from mires in the North Caucasus, Russia [PDF]
Mires and Peat, 2019 At present, little is known about the diversity and functioning of microbial communities in mire ecosystems. Among protists, centrohelid heliozoans remain the least studied components of mire microbial communities.

Dynamics of methane fluxes from two peat bogs in the Ore Mountains, Czech Republic
Plant, Soil and Environment, 2013 Methane fluxes were studied at two high-elevation oligotrophic peat bogs in the Ore Mts., Czech Republic. The Bukova dolina Bog was drained 15 years ago and 2 years ago was partly restored, whereas the Brumiste Bog is an intact peatland.

Functional redundancy of the methane-oxidising and nitrogen-fixing microbial community associated with Sphagnum fallax and Sphagnum palustre in two Dutch fens [PDF]
Mires and Peat, 2020 Sphagnum mosses are adapted to thrive in cool, nutrient-poor acidic environments. Nitrogen (N2)-fixing and methane (CH4)-oxidising microorganisms living as epiphytes and endophytes on and in Sphagnum mosses are known to support Sphagnum growth.

Sphagnum moss as a growing media constituent: some effects of harvesting, processing and storage [PDF]
Mires and Peat, 2017 The Sphagnum material used in horticulture so far has been harvested manually, and most of the available data about Sphagnum properties have been obtained from this material.

Journal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Subfossil insect communities from the Quartz Creek site provide a detailed record of both Late Pleistocene steppe–tundra and Holocene boreal forest ecosystems in central Yukon Territory, Canada. Fifteen Pleistocene assemblages (marine isotope stages [MIS] 4 to 2) are dominated by steppe–tundra and dry‐tundra taxa, particularly the weevils ...

Environmental patterns of brown moss- and Sphagnum-associated microbial communities
Scientific Reports, 2020 Northern peatlands typically develop through succession from fens dominated by the moss family Amblystegiaceae to bogs dominated by the moss genus Sphagnum.
