Time-scales of hydrological forcing on the geochemistry and bacterial community structure of temperate peat soils
Peatlands are an important global carbon reservoir. The continued accumulation of carbon in peatlands depends on the persistence of anoxic conditions, in part induced by water saturation, which prevents oxidation of organic matter, and slows down decomposition. Here we investigate how and over what time scales the hydrological regime impacts the geochemistry and the bacterial community structur...
متن کاملHydrological controls of surficial mass movements in peat
Peat deposits occur in areas where water logging is common. Large areas of blanket mire occur throughout the temperate and cold regions of the Northern and Southern Hemispheres and are particularly extensive in the UK Uplands. Mass movements of peat, reported usually as peat slides and bog bursts, have been well documented for over 150 years. However, the fundamental controls of this form of sh...
متن کاملHydrological modeling in Modelica
Hydrological modeling is an area where modeling has been used for a very long time. Applications range from forecasts for the hydro power industry, public safety, agriculture and environmental monitoring. Still, to the best of our knowledge, Modelica has been very little used in hydrological modeling so far. In this paper, we aim to show that the Modelica language is well suited for hydrologica...
متن کاملModeling of piping erosion in loess soils
Extended abstract Introduction Piping erosion is one of the common water erosions usually occurs in soil with low infiltration and soluble minerals that finally changes landscape. Different factors control its occurrence and development. To predict piping occurrence/hazard through modeling, effective factors should be prioritized and considered as inputs of the model. The present study...
متن کاملModeling Ecosystem Processes and Peat Accumulation in Boreal Peatlands
Northern peatlands have accumulated up to about 450 Gt of carbon, mostly during the Holocene (the last 12,000 years) after the last glaciation (Gorham 1991; Clymo et al. 1998). Although northern peatlands have a relatively low average net accumulation rate (e.g., 19.4 g C m–2 year–1 in western interior Canada; Vitt et al. 2000), their extent, high-latitude location, and the large size of their ...
