    Sammanfattning : Myrmarker har en stor roll i regleringen av den globala kolbalansen och koncentrationerna av koldioxid och metan i atmosfären, vilket gör dem till speciellt viktiga ekosystem ur ett klimatförandringsperspektiv. Förändringar av myrmarker genom naturlig utveckling eller antropogen påverkan kan därför få långtgående störningar av myrars klimatreglerande funktion. LÄS MER

  3. 7. Holocene dynamics in subarctic peat plateaus of west-central Canada : Vegetation succession, peat accumulation and permafrost history

    Författare :A. Britta K. Sannel; Peter Kuhry; Peter Jansson; Ian Brown; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; peatlands; permafrost; carbon accumulation; fire; subarctic; Holocene; Physical geography; Naturgeografi;

    Sammanfattning : Dynamics in vegetation, permafrost and peat and net carbon accumulation rates throughout the Holocene have been studied in two subarctic peat plateaus of west-central Canada through plant macrofossil analysis, geochemical analyses and AMS radiocarbon dating. Peatland formation at the studied sites began around 6600-5900 cal yr BP as a result of paludification of upland forests. LÄS MER

  4. 8. Greenhouse gas fluxes between drained forested peatlands and the atmosphere - influence of nutrient status and wood ash fertilization

    Författare :Maria Ernfors; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; greenhouse gases; peatlands wood; ash; nutrient status;

    Sammanfattning : The management of peatlands for wood production involves drainage and, sometimes, fertilization with, for example, wood ash. The effects of these measures on greenhouse gas fluxes, in relation to the ... LÄS MER

  5. 9. Greenhouse gas emissions from rewetted extracted peatlands in Sweden

    Författare :Sabine Jordan; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; []
    Nyckelord :LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

    Sammanfattning : Peat extraction for horticultural purposes and energy production has a long tradition in Northern Europe. Related drainage activities directly affect the greenhouse gas (GHG) balance due to oxidative peat decomposition and denitrification, with concomitant emissions of carbon dioxide (CO₂) and nitrous oxide (N₂O). Rewetting, i.e. LÄS MER

  7. 10. Mercury methylation in boreal peatlands: Influence of geochemistry and biology

    Författare :Baolin Wang; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

    Sammanfattning : Methylmercury (MeHg) is a neurotoxin mainly produced by microorganisms in suboxic and anoxic environments such as peatlands. Peatlands are an important source of MeHg in adjacent aquatic ecosystems, thus increasing the risk of human and wildlife exposure to this toxic compound. LÄS MER
