Terrestrial isopod community as indicator of succession in a peat bog
Terrestrial isopods were studied in the Dubravica peat bog and surrounding forest in the northwestern Croatia. Sampling was conducted using pitfall traps over a two year period. Studied peat bog has a history of drastically decrease in area during the last five decades mainly due to the process of natural succession and changes in the water level. A total of 389 isopod individuals belonging to ...
متن کاملHighly diverse and seasonally dynamic protist community in a pristine peat bog.
Culture-independent molecular methods based on the amplification, cloning and sequencing of small-subunit ribosomal RNA genes (SSU rDNAs) are powerful tools to study the diversity of microorganisms. Despite so, the eukaryotic microbial diversity of many ecosystems, including peatlands has not yet received much attention. We analysed the eukaryotic diversity by molecular surveys in water from th...
متن کاملRunoff as Complexity Indicator for Terrestrial Ecosystems
Terrestrial ecosystems are often considered as among the structurally most complex systems that can be scientifically investigated. On the other hand, utilization techniques like forestry or water management, focussing on specific functional aspects, often follow relatively simple empirical rules, which led in the past to satisfying predictions. This apparent contradiction opens the question wh...
متن کاملEuropean Bog Bodies: From the Iron Age Peat Bog to the 21st Century
Well preserved bodies dating from the prehistoric era to the 19th century have been found across northwestern Europe; specifically in the peat bogs of Ireland, Great Britain and Denmark. These discoveries were especially prevalent in the late 19th and early 20th centuries when mass peat extraction was at its height. Many of these finds have been dated to the Iron Age and have previously been at...
متن کاملLinksbetweenmethane£uxand transcriptional activitiesof methanogensandmethaneoxidizers ina blanket peat bog
The relationship between biogeochemical process rates and microbial functional activity was investigated by analysis of the transcriptional dynamics of the key functional genes for methanogenesis (methyl coenzyme M reductase; mcrA) and methane oxidation (particulate methane monooxygenase; pmoA) and in situ methane flux at two peat soil field sites with contrasting net methane-emitting and -oxid...
