Bacteria play a crucial role in regulating biogeochemical cycles in peatlands. Most of the
studies on soil bacteria focus mainly on the peat surface and bacteria that exist in the deeper …

Turvemaat ovat merkittäviä hiilen ja typen varastoja tehden niistä potentiaalisia hiilidioksidin
(CO2), metaanin (CH4) ja dityppioksidin (N2O) päästölähteitä …

Aims Degraded peatlands recovery is an important environmental issue of current concern.
Exploring the response of Zoigê degraded peatlands prokaryotic microbial community …

Bog asphodel, Narthecium ossifragum, is a flowering plant, commonly found in many wet
acidic habitats, including upland blanket bogs where sheep and cattle grazing has been …

The lowering of water level caused by bog drainage increases the exposure of the upper
layers of peat deposits to oxygen, which leads to an increase in the degree of peat …

Healthy functional peatlands sequester carbon and are therefore important in the mitigation
of climate change. In the United Kingdom 80% of peatland has been damaged by …

Natural peatlands are important sinks of carbon (C) and vital in the global C cycle. Despite
covering just 3% of the earth's land mass, they store as much C as all terrestrial biomass …

All ecosystems on Earth depend on primary production, which converts inorganic carbon (C)
into organic compounds and living biomass. In terrestrial systems, phototrophic microbes …

The aim of this study is to comprehensively assess the change in oxidoreductive enzyme
activities, due to the potential in catalyzing oxidation and reduction reactions, as the basic …

Soil samples from two peatland sites were analysed in order to determine the population of
nitrifying microorganisms. Two DNA extraction methods were compared according to yield …
