FOUR NATIVE PLANT COMMUNITY TYPES (IN DECREASING ELEVATION: montane bog, rain forest, wet mesic forest, drier forest) on Molokai were sampled for nematodes. Six samples of 10 cores each were gathered from each community. Nematodes were extracted from 200 cm(3) soil by elutriation. All extracted nematodes were counted and identified to species-level taxa. Sixty-seven species were identified amon...

The abundances, compositions, and activities of microbial communities were investigated at bog and fen sites in the Glacial Lake Agassiz Peatland of northwestern Minnesota. These sites contrast in the reactivity of dissolved organic matter (DOM) and the presence or absence of groundwater inputs. Microbial community composition was characterized using pyrosequencing and clone library constructio...

A nitrogen deficiency always causes bog bilberry syrup wine to have a poor sensory feature. This study investigated the effect of nitrogen source addition on volatile compounds during bog bilberry syrup wine fermentation. The syrup was supplemented with 60, 90, 120 or 150 mg/L dibasic ammonium phosphate (DAP) before fermentation. Results showed that an increase of DAP amounts accelerated fermen...

Introduction The vegetation on the outer north coast of British Columbia is largely a complex mixture of blanket bog and upland forest. The upland forest consists of several types, including lower productivity redcedardominated stands. For the most part these redcedar forests have little or no history of forest harvesting. In recent years, however, interest has grown in determining whether thes...

reemphasized a classic issue within political and cultural theory – the relationship between individual human agency and social structure: to what extent do local actions reproduce or transform global structures? Several early accounts of the internet expressed high hopes, not least, regarding its participatory potential and transformative capacity. Could clicks cumulatively change the world? –...
