Tracking Vegetation Transitions Due to Invasion of Cattail (Typha) in Lake Superior Coastal Peatlands
Invasive cattails ( Typha angustifolia and Typha × glauca ) pose a problem for many Laurentian Great Lakes wetlands, especially sedge/grass meadows. In...

Using Camera Traps to estimate Habitat Preferences and Occupancy Patterns of Vertebrates in Boreal Wetlands
Wetlands are a critical habitat for boreal mammals and birds that rely on them for breeding, foraging, and resting. However, wetlands in boreal...

Fire History and Long-Term Carbon Accumulation in Hemi-boreal Peatlands
Fire can play an important role in peatlands by modifying plant communities and carbon (C) stocks. However, baseline disturbance data on peatland...

Effect of mineral soil constituents on carbon characteristics of peatlands in aeolian environments of Iceland
The effects of just over a millennium of heavy erosion of dryland soils (Andosols) are ubiquitous in the Icelandic landscape. While lushly vegetated...

Microbial responses to herbivory-induced vegetation changes in a high-Arctic peatland
Herbivory by barnacle geese ( Branta leucopsis ) alters the vegetation cover and reduces ecosystem productivity in high-Arctic peatlands, limiting the...

Denitrification is not Necessarily the Main Source of N2O from Rewetted Fens
Drained agricultural peatlands are being increasingly rewetted for global warming mitigation. This creates novel ecosystems, with unclear effects on...
