It is well established that in ombrotrophic bogs, water-table depth (WTD) is the primary
environmental control on testate amoeba distribution. However, the environmental controls …

Testate amoebae are an abundant and functionally important group of protists in peatlands,
but little is known about the seasonal patterns of their communities. We investigated the …

Testate amoebae play an important role in biomonitoring and the understanding of peatland
(palaeo) ecology. However, their application has been mainly limited to Sphagnum …

We studied the relationship between testate amoebae (Protozoa) communities and the
depth to the water table (DWT), pH, conductivity, and microhabitat type in Sphagnum …

As most ecosystems, peatlands have been heavily exploited for different human purposes.
For example, in Finland the majority is under forestry, agriculture or peat mining use …

Despite its ecological importance, little information is available regarding spatial and
seasonal changes in the testate amoebae community in peat bogs. The objectives of this …

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) …

Niinemets, E., Pensa, M. & Charman, DJ 2010: Analysis of fossil testate amoebae in Selisoo
Bog, Estonia: local variability and implications for palaeoecological reconstructions in …

Abstract Mountainous peatlands of Western Sudetes are considered a unique habitat in
Central Europe. The region contains one of the largest raised bog complexes in temperate …

Altitudinal gradients are useful to study the potential effects of climate change on
ecosystems. Historically, studies on elevation gradients have primarily focused on macro …
