Testate amoebae that inhabit peat are sensitive indicators of water table position. In this
study, we used testate amoebae in sediments from a mire in the western Alps (Lac du Thyl) …

Peatlands cover 3% of the earth's land surface but contain 30% of the world's soil carbon
pool. Microbial communities constitute a crucial detrital food web for nutrient and carbon …

We investigated the ecology and paleoecology of testate amoebae in peatlands of the
Colombian páramo to assess the use of testate amoebae as paleoenvironmental indicators …

Seventy-eight species and forms of testate amoebae were identified from 29 freshwater and
soil habitats in three territories of China (Shandong and Hubei Provinces). Most abundant …

Testate amoebae contribute significantly to belowground ecological processes like nutrient
cycling, but a decline in their nutrient cycling functions in peatlands is expected due to global …

The first data on testate amoeba composition from Trang An and Van Long wetlands (Ninh
Binh province, Vietnam) was obtained. Sixty-three species and subspecies belonging to 9 …

Peatlands record the changes in climate and environment during their formation and
development as one of the major geological archives. Previous studies from boreal …

We investigated the response of lacustrine testate amoeba communities to 20th century
environmental changes in Lake Zhangdu, China. The lake and surrounding region have …

Testate amoebae are common proxies of past hydrological conditions in peatlands and are
increasingly used as indicators of ecosystems ecological integrity. The ecology of these …

Peatlands located at the northern edge of the East Asian monsoon (EAM) are well placed to
provide a terrestrial record of past climate and hydrological changes for this globally …
