The purpose of the study was to determine differences in several soil biological properties and peat functional groups based on location formation (tidal peat, transitional inland peat). conducted soils Kahayan Sebangau Hydrological area, Central Kalimantan, from June August 2018. research method is laboratory observation chemical each sample location, analysis using FTIR Count Cup method. vari...

Abstract. Southeast Asian peatlands represent a globally significant carbon store that is destabilized by land-use changes like deforestation and the conversion into plantations, causing high dioxide (CO2) emissions from peat soils increased leaching of rivers. While this consequentially DOC concentrations suggest CO2 peat-draining rivers would be high, estimates based on field data they are on...

phytoremediation is an emerging environmental-friendly technology that can be a promising solution to remediate oil-polluted soils. the impact of high amount of hydrocarbons on growth characteristics of burningbushand common flax was evaluated in this survey. the influence of organic fertilizers was also assessed on growth of plant species in oil-contaminated soil. soil samples in which plants ...

Road and rail networks provide critical support for society, yet they can be degraded by seasonal soil movements. Currently, few transport network operators monitor small-scale soil movement, but understanding the conditions contributing to infrastructure failure can improve network resilience. Persistent Scatterers Interferometry (PSI) is a remote sensing technique offering the potential for n...

Recently, a link has been suggested between volcanic deposition of SO4 and the suppression of CH4 emissions in northern peatlands (Gauci et al., 2008). This link stems from the widely accepted idea that acid rain SO4 additions to peatlands can cause a shift in microbial communities as SO4 reducing bacteria out-compete methanogens for substrates, which results in a suppression of CH4 emission. H...

Although people have always classified soils, it is only since themid 19th century that soil classification emerged as an important topic within soil science. It forced soil scientists to think systematically about soils and its genesis and developed to facilitate communication between soil scientists. It has also been the cause for much debate and confusion but two internationally accepted sys...

Wetland and floodplain soils in the East African Rift of Kenya provide a record of changing palaeoclimate and palaeohydrology compatible with climate records for the mid-Holocene through the late Holocene Medieval Warm Period (~AD 800–1270) and Little Ice Age (~AD 1270–1850), documented previously in nearby lacustrine sites. Soils forming from volcaniclastic source materials in both Loboi Swamp...

Globally, peatlands have been recognized as important carbon sinks while only covering approximately 3% of the earth’s land surface. Root exudates are known key drivers C cycling in soils and rhizosphere priming effects studied extensively terrestrial ecosystems. Their role for decomposition peat still remains unclear, little research about their fate potential exists. In this study, we aimed t...
