Journal ArticleDOI

FTIR spectroscopy can be used as a screening tool for organic matter quality in regenerating cutover peatlands

TL;DR: In this paper, Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectra were used to predict the organic matter composition in peat samples at various stages of peatland regeneration from five European countries.
Journal ArticleDOI

Introducing global peat-specific temperature and pH calibrations based on brGDGT bacterial lipids

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigate the distribution of brGDGTs in 470 samples from 96 peatlands around the world with a broad mean annual air temperature (−8 to 27 °C) and pH (3-8) range and present the first peat-specific brGGT-based temperature and pH calibrations.
Journal ArticleDOI

Exploitation of northern peatlands and biodiversity maintenance: a conflict between economy and ecology

TL;DR: In this paper, a close analysis suggests that limited peat extraction may actually increase biodiversity in some cases, and may be sustainable over the long term, and what conditions govern the re-establishment of a diverse community and the ability to sequester carbon.
Journal ArticleDOI

FTIR Study of Pure Vitrains and Associated Coals

TL;DR: In this paper, a semiquantitative analysis of the infrared spectra from 650 to 4000 cm −1 of six vitrains and the coals associated with three of them is presented.
