Effects of climatic change and bog development on Holocene tufa formation in the Lorze Valley (central Switzerland)

A massive tufa complex in the lower Lorze Valley ( 550 m a.s.l., north-central Switzerland) formed between 9000 and 5000 cal. yr BP. In the plain 4 km southeast of the complex lies Neugrundmoor ( 830 m a.s.l.), a mire in the hydrologic recharge area of the ...

Multiproxy evidence of Little Ice Age palaeoenvironmental changes in a peat bog from northern Poland

Mariusz Lamentowicz

‘Little Ice Age’ (LIA) climatic deteriorations have been abundantly documented in various archives such as ice, lake sediments and peat bog deposits. Palaeoecological analyses of peat samples have identified these climatic deteriorations using a range of t ...

A climatic threshold triggers the die-off of peat mosses during an extreme heat wave

Luca Bragazza

Heat waves, which are projected to be more frequent and intense in a warmer climate, could become a serious threat to plants that rely on water surplus availability, such as bryophytes. Here, I take the advantage of the European summer 2003 climate anomaly ...

Changes in testate amoebae (Protists) communities in a small raised bog. A 40-year study

Edward Mitchell

We analyzed the testate amoebae communities from two sets of moss samples taken forty years apart (1961 and 2001) in the same locations of a peat bog of the Swiss Jura Mountains. Peat cutting and lateral drainage of Le Cachot bog have caused a clear increa ...

The palaeoecological history of the Praz-Rodet bog (Swiss Jura) based on pollen, plant macrofossils and testate amoebae (Protozoa)

Alexandre Buttler, Edward Mitchell, Jean-Michel Gobat

Stratigraphy, radiocarbon dating and analyses of pollen, plant macrofossils and testate amoebae were used to reconstruct the development and ecology of a small raised bog in a karst-dominated landscape in the Swiss Jura Mountains. Special focus was on past ...

Growth potential of three Sphagnum species in relation to water table level and peat properties with implications for their restoration in cut-over bogs

Alexandre Buttler

Growth in length and weight of three species of Sphagnum (S. fuscum, S. magellanicum and S. fallax) was studied in a glasshouse experiment. The Sphagnum mosses were cultivated at natural density on cores of five different peat types, representing a grad ...

Evaluating the width of hydrological buffer zones between drained agricultural land and nature reserve areas

André Musy

This paper presents the development of a practical tool to evaluate the required width of a hydrological buffer zone, in order to maintain the effects of subsurface drainage within reasonable limits. A simple mathematical formulation describing the lateral ...
