Previous inventories have also not considered recent data from natural archives of mercury deposition (e.g. peat-bogs, Roos-Barraclough et al., 2002; and ice-cores, Schuster et al., 2002) or direct atmospheric measurements offshore from active volcanoes (e.g. Krischke et al., 2000; Temme...
the fire is a skill of the maltster,who knows the required amount of peat to be burned.The suppliers of peat are becoming hard to find,since in Scotland it is now impossible to develop new bogs.This presents a threat to the whisky industry that is neither justified nor fully appreciated....
Breeding success in Montagus Harrier (Circus pygargus) was studied in peat bogs of eastern Poland during the period 19962002. Harriers nested only in the area covered with great fen sedge (Cladium mariscus). The studied Harriers laid from 1 to 6 eggs, on average 4.09 eggs (n = 118). ...
The reintroduction of S. lapponum in the site ultimately chosen proved satisfactory with respect to plant survival. This was the first trial of this type conducted in peat bogs situated in eastern Poland. We believe that in addition to sound knowledge of the biology and ecology of the species...
Two most important types were defined based on their appeal where there are rare relic features in the natural environment dominated by the presence of peat bogs and natural habitats with scrub undergrowth or virgin forests. These types were also found in the areas with the greatest potential for...
7150 Depressions on peat substrates of the Rhynchosporion. Mowing and grazing belong to traditional management practices of this habitat type and their abandonment, especially on dried-out peatland, has led to invasion of both herbaceous and ligneous species, to the detriment of pioneer communities...
The alteration, fragmentation, and finally loss, of natural habitats are the major causes of the increasingly rapid decline in overall biotic diversity on Earth (Burgess & Sharpe, 1981; Harris, 1984; Saunders et al., 1987). Usually the effects are measur
