In the course of the Holocene large parts of the Northwest European mainland became
overgrown with peat, only a fraction of which has survived to the present day. The diachronic …

On the mainland of northwest Europe generally only remnants of former peat landscapes
subsist. Due to the poor preservation of these landscapes, alternative approaches to …

Peatlands are the most dense terrestrial carbon stock and since the last glacial epoch
northern peatlands have accumulated between 400 and 1000 Gt of carbon. Although the …

Bog iron ores are well-known lumps of Fe-(oxy) hydroxides (goethite, limonite) found along
streams and in seasonally flooded, low-lying areas. Historic literature of the …

Organic substances of low biodegradability and the high moisture content of herbaceous
peat inhibit its high-value utilization. In this study, the effect of pretreatment with dilute …

Radiocarbon dating of basal peats has been a key factor in determining minimum ages for
deglaciation on sub‐Antarctic islands. On Marion Island, peat bogs dominate the landscape …

Peatlands are regarded as having exceptional archaeological value, due to the fact that the
