Bacterioplankton communities inhabiting peatlands have the potential to influence local ecosystem functions. However, most microbial ecology research in such wetlands has been done in ecosystems (mostly peat soils) of the Northern Hemisphere, and very little is known of the factors that drive bacterial community assembly in other regions of the world. In this study, we used high-throughput sequ...

This paper deals with the assessment of peat deposit transformation two drained raised bogs (the Bakchar bog for forestry and Ust-Bakchar extraction) within Western Siberian taiga zone. Specifically, objectives this study were to: 1) characterise deposits key sites use ground-penetrating radar (GPR) manual data; 2) estimate spatial differentiation modern accumulation rates at microhabitat level...

The mercury content in peat layers of seven bogs the Małopolska region (Wolbrom Kraków-Częstochowa Upland and Otrębowskie Brzegi, Puścizna Wysoka, Mała, Przybojec, Długopole Bór na Czerwonem Orawa-Nowy Targ Basin) was determined to a depth 100 cm at resolution 1–2 cm. Geochemical background level anthropogenic enrichment were for each bog. To establish interdependence between concentration, min...

A new species of Candida was isolated from sphagnum litter overlying a peat bog. It was non-fermenting and assimilated glucose, sucrose, maltose, lactose, galactose and potassium nitrate. The proposed name is Candida mmcorum. A new Rhodotorula species, which i t is proposed to name R. graminis, was isolated from the leaves of pasture grasses. Cultures on solid media were reddish pink and fluid ...

son Lake are all within a few kilometres of the Skeena River between Terrace and Old Harelton (Figure 5-3I ) . The tern1 marl is used in thih report to indicate a friable mixture of greater than 40 per cent calcium carbonate together with insoluble detritus and noncarbonate plant material. The colour is usually white or buff, but grey to brown or black shades occur as the organic content increa...
