Northern boreal peatlands are important ecosystems in modulating global biogeochemical
cycles, yet their biological communities and related carbon dynamics are highly sensitive to …

In this review we assess past and current trends in the use of testate amoebae in peatland
science, concentrating mainly on studies conducted in northern peatlands. We also discuss …

Peatlands constitute a significant soil carbon (C) store, yet the C gas flux components show
distinct spatial variation both between and within peatlands. Determining the controls on this …

Northern fens, that host unique biota and form a remarkable carbon stock, are sensitive to
changes in the moisture balance and, therefore, may be strongly affected by climatic …

Anthropogenic peatland degradation is a global threat. As peatlands store large amounts of
carbon (C) their potential for mitigation of climate change has been emphasized recently …

Testate amoebae are a diverse group of shelled protists frequently used as model
organisms in microbial biogeography. Relatively few species have been reported for the …

Peatland complexes in the humid highlands of Hawai 'i are vital refuges of biodiversity and
freshwater resources. Hawaiian peat deposits are also rare repositories of terrestrial …

Peatlands are ecosystems dominated by peat forming plants such as sedges and mosses.
Peat itself consists of dead organic matter with a maximum of 25% of inorganic matter as dry …

Las tecamebas o testáceos son organismos eucariotas unicelulares que se distinguen por
poseer una teca rígida orgánica o inorgánica. La diversidad austral se encuentra …

Northern peatlands play a significant role in the global carbon cycle due to their extensive
carbon stocks and the annual fluxes of carbon dioxide (CO2) and methane (CH4) to the …
