Peatlands are important carbon sinks, therefore their degradation mainly due to lowering of
the water table, has an adverse effect to the carbon cycle and largely burden the …

Numerous palaeoecological studies have used testate amoeba analysis to reconstruct
Holocene hydrological change in peatlands, and thereby past climatic change. Current …

Many mire vascular plant and bryophyte species have disjunct occurrences in Bulgaria
despite that most of south-eastern Europe is not suitable for the occurrence of permanently …

Testate amoebae are useful environmental indicators in ecological and palaeoecological
studies from peatlands. Previous quantitative studies have focused on the peatlands of …

The multifaceted role of deadwood in forest ecosystems has been widely recognized while it

Abstract The Elatia Mires of northern Greece are unique ecosystems of high conservation
value. The mires are climatically marginal and may be sensitive to changing hydroclimate …

Many mires of high conservation value occur in Bulgaria. These mires acted as refugia
during the dry phases of ice ages and therefore contain a high number of rare and disjunct …
