Macrofossil analysis of an Iron Age burnt-offering place gave evidence on fully developed agriculture in an area once considered uninhabited prior to the Middle Ages. Further information was acquired on human impact on forest habitats, and on ritual praxis. Pollen, extrafossils, stomata and charcoal analyses from Totenmoos bog show the vegetation development and the human impact in the Ulten Va...

Abstract: Horticultural substrates, also referred to as growing media, potting soils and gardening or soilless substrates, are widely used as a basis for vegetable and flower production in horticulture. They are created as a composition of different ingredients (bog peat, organic residuals, coir, perlite and other components). Hydraulic properties such as water storage capacity, air capacity, s...

Raised bogs of the Baltic type are unique because their geomorphologic structure and hydrologic conditions. There about 80 this in Poland. All affected by human impact, water circulation patterns disrupted artificial outflows. The aim study was to show effects impact on raised bog an example Wielkie Bagno peat bog. main work consisted field studies, during which measurements groundwater fluctua...

We measured net ecosystem CO2 exchange (NEE), plant biomass and growth, species composition, peat microclimate, and litter decomposition in a fertilization experiment at Mer Bleue Bog, Ottawa, Ontario. The bog is located in the zone with the highest atmospheric nitrogen deposition for Canada, estimated at 0.8–1.2 g N m 2 yr 1 (wet deposition as NH4 and NO3). To establish the effect of nutrient ...

The Boil-off Gas ( BOG ) compressor is used as a key facility in the liquefied natural gas ( LNG ) terminal, to recycle the excessive boiled gas for re-liquefaction or direct application. The low suction temperature down to -162°C brings about big challenges in design of the BOG compressor. In this paper, the three-dimensional finite element model was used to simulate both the static and period...

We compared high-resolution reconstructions of peatland water-table depth at two raised bogs in the western Great Lakes region separated by ∼1000 km. The sites included Minden Bog in southeastern Michigan and Hole-in-the-Bog in north-central Minnesota. Our objectives were to 1) determine whether large, decadal to multidecadal droughts of the past 2000 yrs were spatially and temporally coherent ...

The study was inspired by the need to assess long-term metal retention in municipal solid waste (MSW) landfills. The long-term processes in landfills are poorly known due to the relatively short time that such landfills have been in existence. Natural analogues where similar metal binding processes could be expected were therefore sought for. The work described in this thesis aims to elucidate ...

Chromobacterium subtsugae MWU12-2387 was isolated from the rhizosphere of cranberry plants. While it is unknown what environmental role these bacteria play in bog soils, they hold potential as biological control agents against nematodes and insect pests. Potential virulence genes were identified, including the violacein synthesis pathway, siderophores, and several chitinases.
