Peatlands support unique biodiversity and provide essential ecosystem services, such as
regulating climate and providing freshwater and food. However, land-use change, resource …

Rewetting previously drained peatlands restores the critical function of peatlands as long-
term carbon storages and sinks currently threatened by climate change and additional …

Water table level monitoring and analysis are among the tools available to identify variations
in the quantitative state of groundwater. Moreover, these levels highlight the response of …

Peatlands are recognized as important landscape elements and their disturbance, followed
by the loss of their ecohydrological functions, leads to falling water tables and degradation …

This study analysed the drainage influence on vegetation and peat deposit and assessed
the self-restoration of ecological functions of Western Siberia bogs. As a case study, we …

Interaction between rainfall and groundwater is a complex phenomenon as it varies spatially
with respect to local hydrogeological characteristics and temporally with hydro …

Northern peatlands are substantial carbon sinks because organic matter in peat is highly
stable due to the low rate of decomposition. Waterlogged anaerobic conditions induce …

Aerobic methanotrophic bacteria are considered strict aerobes but are often highly abundant
in hypoxic and even anoxic environments. Despite possessing denitrification genes, it …

Raised bogs of the Baltic type are unique because of their geomorphologic structure and
hydrologic conditions. There are about 80 bogs of this type in Poland. All are affected by …

Fire is an important natural disturbance and a driver of hemi-boreal forest successional
trajectories, structural complexity, and biodiversity. Understanding the historic fire regime is …
