Effects of deep peat fire on decomposition were also simulated by burning the upper layer (0—10 cm) of peat and adding the ash to peat samples from the 10—20 cm layer. CH 4 release averaged <1% of total carbon loss in flooded samples. Release of CO 2 was 4—9 times greater from the 0—10 cm layer than from the 30—40 cm layer. After 120 ...
To our knowledge, however, there are few studies in which the profiles of carbonaceous particles in peat deposits have been linked directly to a known historical record of fossil fuel use. Tolonen (1985b) reported an exponential increase in carbonaceous particles in the upper 16 cm of a peat profile .
formation lies in the peat deposits characteristic of the Aftonian (postNebraskan), Yarmouth (postKansan), and Sangamon ( postlllinoian) interglacial ages. From macroscopic remains in the peat, including leafparts, fruits, seeds and wood, much has been learned of interglacial ecology; while, at .
If peat soils are underlined by a coarse sand material, the difference in electrical resistivity between peat soil and sand deposit might be less pronounced. The interpretation of VES measurements shown, that the depth of peat can be estimated with accuracy about % if peat is underlined by clay, loam or stony mineral layers (Table).
Sources and vertical distribution of 137 Cs, 238 Pu, 239+240 Pu and 241 Am in peat profiles from southwest Spitsbergen
peat deposits which were laid down depressions resulting from the last retreat are younger than 10,000 years. The age ofsome the northern deposits ranges from about 2,500 to years. The Everglades peats of Florida appear to have developed over the past 5,000 years. In Maine, Washington, the Great Lakes States, and Canada, moss peat is formed.
Abstract Filson Creek Fen, located in northeastern Minnesota, overlies a CuNi sulfide deposit. A site in the fen was studied to evaluate the hydrogeochemical mechanisms governing the development of Fe, Mn, Co, and Cu profiles in the peat.
Abstract: Lead originating from coal burning, gasoline burning, and ore smelting was identified in 210 Pbdated profiles through eight peat bogs distributed over an area of 60 000 km 2. The Sphagnumdominated bogs were located mainly in mountainous regions of the ...
layers in peat profiles, such as magnetic susceptibility, spectrophotometry and Xray fluorescence (cf. Gehrels et al. 2008). The methods for analysis of tephra in peats that we present here are adapted from Dugmore et al. (1992) and Hall Pilcher (2002). For an initial, rapid assessment of the occurrence of tephra, peat sequences can be
England, are compared with other pollen influx data for peat and lake deposits. Peat deposits are found to have a much smaller annual recruitment of pollen than lake sediments. This difference is attributed to the absence of pollen contributed by inwash or stream inflow into a peat, particularly a raised bog peat, deposit. INTRODUCTION
A close correlation exists at four peat sites between pollen indicators of human impact, especially Plantago lanceolata and Cerealia, and the elements silicon and especially titanium as indicators of erosion. Pollen of plants with a short life cycle occur at the peak of silicon or titanium or shortly after, and a treepollen response follows later.
Coal is defined as having more than 50 percent by weight (or 70 percent by volume) carbonaceous matter produced by the compaction and hardening of altered plant remains—namely, peat deposits. Different varieties of coal arise because of differences in the kinds of plant material (coal type), degree of coalification (coal rank), and range of impurities (coal grade).
Page 31 PEAT RESOURCES IN ALASKA 31 917 feet; moss peat with an admixture of plant remains, roots and rhizomes from cottongrass and sedges; the material is matted fibrous, generally free from colloidal organic residue, brown in color with a yellowish tint; at the 15foot level it is moderately decomposed and contains some woody fragments but no development of a woody layer of peat; below it occurs .
profile. Deposits consist of nearly 4 m of interlayered peat and windblown sand resting on bedrock (Figure 64). A single radiocarbon date indicates soil deposition began more than 9,500 years ago (9547 ± 128 BP, IEMAE1261). Because the McDonald Point profile confirms the findings from Alcan Creek and Shemya 9 it is not discussed in detail. 73
There are many other areas of similar coal deposits (, Joggins, Nova Scotia). Rather than being a significant problem for conventional geology, coal is explained quite easily by analogy to modern peat environments. Coal deposits and associated sediments are an immense problem for any interpretation involving a "global flood".
Oct 17, 2016· Peat soils have the ability to store human remains or ancient artefacts for thousands of years; since they have very minimal microbial decomposition. A good example of this is the 4000 year old body of a man found in peat from CashelCentral Ireland. 4. Peat soils drained for agricultural purposes are more vulnerable to wind and water erosion ...
for 8 soil layers from 5 soil profiles. The characteristics of sampling points together with the basic soil properties are presented in Table 2. It can be seen from the data presented in this table that the peat deposits under consideration represent: different peat types (willow peat, sedgemoss, reed and sedgereed), different degree of ...
Peat forms in wetland conditions, where flooding obstructs flows of oxygen from the atmosphere, slowing rates of decomposition. [3] Peatlands, also known as mires, particularly bogs, are the most important source of peat, [4] but other less common wetland types also deposit peat, including fens, pocosins, and peat swamp forests.
Jun 16, 2011· There is a general inclination for humification to increase in size and distribution towards the bottom of a soil deposit. The deeper profiles of acidic peat are often stratified into layers of differing humification. In the case of wetland areas, we have peat as the result of humification. Photo: Ron Wooten. Peat is essentially a moss.
In general, determine areal extent and depth of deposit, type and quality of peat, hydrological characteristics of peatland, water quality, flora and fauna (especially 53 endangered, threatened, or rare species), adjacent land uses, proximity to other wetlands, and percent of total system to be mined.
This study essays to compare, and in some degree to supplement, pollen analyses thus far published for Illinois. Even though results of studies of fossil pollens seem very similar, each pollen profile is individual and varies in many details from all other profiles. For this reason, each new analysis is more than a repetition of what has already been studied and reported; it is a possible ...

production was greatest from the surface of the peat 35 profile with surface peat accounting for 92 ± and 54 ± % of the cumulative CH 4 and CO 2 36 production, respectively. The high CO 2 and CH 4 production rate under anoxic conditions, in 37 surface peat, was strongly related to greater concentrations of lignin, but also long chain fatty

The microbial community is a crucial aspect of the peatland ecosystem in terms of mediating biogeochemical cycling. 13CPLFA analysis was used to characterize the microbial community and provide isotopic information about microbial carbon use through peat depth profiles taken from the Spruce and Peatland Responses Under Climatic and Environmental Change (SPRUCE) Project; an .
