Anaerobic Oxidization of Methane in a Minerotrophic Peatland: Enrichment of Nitrite-Dependent Methane-Oxidizing Bacteria

Baoli Zhu, +6 more
- 15 Dec 2012 - 
TL;DR: The potential of n-damo in a minerotrophic peatland in the south of the Netherlands that is infiltrated by nitrate-rich ground water is investigated and an enrichment of nitrite-reducing methanotrophic NC10 bacteria was successfully obtained.
Journal ArticleDOI

Zero methane emission bogs: extreme rhizosphere oxygenation by cushion plants in Patagonia.

Christian Fritz, +9 more
- 01 Apr 2011 - 
TL;DR: This first methane study in Patagonian bog vegetation reveals lower emissions than expected and concludes that cushion plants are capable of reducing methane emission on an ecosystem scale by thorough soil and methane oxidation.
Journal Article

Towards developing IPCC methane 'emission factors' for peatlands (organic soils).

John Couwenberg, +1 more
- 01 Mar 2012 - 
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors show that the annual mean water level is a surprisingly good indicator for methane effluxes, but at high water levels the cover of aerenchymous shunts (gas conductive plant tissue) becomes a better proxy.
Journal ArticleDOI

Sphagnum mosses--masters of efficient N-uptake while avoiding intoxication.

Christian Fritz, +5 more
- 09 Jan 2014 - 
TL;DR: At high N input rates, the risk of N-toxicity seems to be reduced by lower uptake rates of Sphagnum, at the expense of its long-term filter capacity and related competitive advantage over vascular plants.
Journal ArticleDOI

Nutrient additions in pristine Patagonian Sphagnum bog vegetation: can phosphorus addition alleviate (the effects of) increased nitrogen loads

Christian Fritz, +8 more
- 01 May 2012 - 
TL;DR: Despite improving growth conditions by P-addition, Sphagnum-bog ecosystems remain highly susceptible to nitrogen additions and increased susceptibility to desiccation by nutrients may even worsen the negative effects of excess nitrogen especially in windy climates like in Patagonia.
