Drought conditions are expected to increase in frequency and severity as the climate
changes, representing a threat to carbon sequestered in peat soils. Downstream water …

Alpine wetland on the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau holds the highest organic carbon density of
plateau ecosystems and is among the most sensitive areas to climate change …

Ditch blocking in blanket peatlands is common as part of peatland restoration. The effects of
ditch blocking on flow regimes and nearby water tables were examined in a field trial. After …

Aquatic systems draining peatland catchments receive a high loading of dissolved organic
carbon (DOC) from the surrounding terrestrial environment. Whilst photo-processing is …

The perhumid coastal temperate rainforest (PCTR) of southeast Alaska has some of the
densest soil organic carbon (SOC) stocks in the world (> 300 Mg C ha− 1) but the fate of this …

This dissertation focusses on some advancements in methodology for measuring and
analysing dissolved organic carbon (DOC): analysing data from a high resolution sensor …

The research presented here focuses on the functional aspect of biodiversity of plant
communities, with emphasis placed on the functions of species within biological …

Climate change due to anthropogenic increases in atmospheric carbon dioxide is a global
phenomenon with a recognised high public profile. The impacts of climate change, however …

Northern peatlands are a globally important soil carbon (C) store, and aquatic systems
draining peatland catchments receive a high loading of dissolved and particulate forms of C …

Peatlands store~ 30% of global soil organic carbon (SOC) and are frequently carbon dioxide
(CO2) sinks, while also being sources of methane (CH4) due to anaerobic decomposition …
