Greenhouse gas balance of an establishing Sphagnum culture on a former bog grassland in Germany [PDF]

Mires and Peat, 2017
The cultivation of Sphagnum mosses on re-wetted peat bogs for use in horticulture is a new land use strategy. We provide the first greenhouse gas balances for a field-scale Sphagnum farming experiment on former bog grassland, in its establishment phase ...

Evaluation of methods for the analysis of oxygen and carbon dioxide in water, sediment, litter, and soil

Limnology and Oceanography: Methods, EarlyView.
Abstract Choosing an appropriate analyzer to measure concentrations of oxygen (O2) and carbon dioxide (CO2) during biogeochemical cycling studies can be difficult, considering the range of options available. While several studies examine the abilities of specific analyzers, comparison of multiple analyzers and environmental sample types is lacking.

Improved Corrosion Resistance of a Micro‐Alloyed Carbon Steel Assessed by Multi‐Element Electrical Resistance Probes and Coupons in Natural Seawater and Soil

Materials and Corrosion, EarlyView.
Multi‐element electrical resistance probes fabricated from industrial carbon steels enable real‐time corrosion monitoring in natural seawater and soil. A micro‐alloyed grade (AMLoCor) demonstrates up to 2.4 times improved uniform corrosion resistance over conventional S355 GP steel.

The Substitution of Sphagnum for Peat as a Culture Substrate Reduces N₂O Emissions from Vegetable Production Systems

Agronomy
Peat-based substrates have been widely used in greenhouse vegetable production (GVP). However, peat is a non-renewable resource, and there is a problem with N2O emissions when it is used in greenhouse vegetable production due to the application of large ...

Growth and productivity of cenopopulations of Sphagnum mosses in natural and transformed mires of Karelia

Transactions of the Karelian Research Centre of the Russian Academy of Sciences, 2016
The dynamics of linear growth and annual productivity of Sphagnum cuspidatum, S. fallax, S. majus, S. obtusum, S. riparium, and S. subsecundum were studied in 2006–2013 in natural and transformed mire sites in the Kindasovo forest-mire research station ...

Patterns and environmental drivers of root traits across hydrological gradients in old growth boreal forests

Oikos, EarlyView.
Many key ecosystem functions are affected by plant roots and their traits. However, understanding of the patterns in, and drivers of, root traits lags far behind equivalent knowledge of above‐ground tissues, particularly in boreal old growth forests. We surveyed community‐level root traits across 11 old growth forests spanning a wide latitudinal range ...

SPHAGNUM

18. Sphagnum (Dill). Hedwis (Fig. 6A, B) Radial spore, subtriangular polar view, with rounded angles and slightly convex sides. Thick exospore. Heteropolar, trilete with fine long arms bifurcate at extremities on laevigate proximal face. Coarse, irregular trilobate thickening on the distal pole. Equatorial diameter ca. 50–65 µm (x 62 µm).

Evaluating Testability of Permafrost Models Through Physical and Thermal Testing in Complex Mountain Terrain, Yukon, Canada

Permafrost and Periglacial Processes, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Due to its subsurface nature, permafrost cannot be directly observed with the naked eye or optical remote sensing. Consequently, accurately describing its distribution and thermal state is challenging. This is especially true in vast, remote environments, where obtaining comprehensive field data is demanding or improbable.

Mapping peatland plant communities dynamics using multispectral indices coupled with a joint species distribution model

Frontiers in Environmental Science
AimsClimate change is altering northern peatland plant communities, shifting from Sphagnum mosses to vascular plants. This transition impacts ecological functions like carbon sequestration, making long-term vegetation monitoring at the site scale more ...

Internal Permafrost Structure of Geomorphologically Distinct Palsas in Northern Sweden Revealed by Quasi‐3D ERT

Permafrost and Periglacial Processes, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Permafrost in northern peatlands occurs within individual palsas or extensive peat plateaus and controls local carbon storage. These permafrost landforms are complex, and their internal structure remains poorly understood. We used quasi‐3D electrical resistivity tomography (ERT) measurements, supported by UAV‐LiDAR topography, frost probing ...
