Climate change, vegetation dynamics and carbon cycling in peatlands: the role of vascular plants in CO2 sequestration

Konstantin Svetlozarov Gavazov, Robert Matthew Mills, Luca Bragazza, Bjorn Jozef Maria Robroek

The project VeganPeat is described in this poster. IN particular, the workpackage oncerning the quantification of 14C in soil respired CO2 to detect the role of vascular plant abundance in promoting the decomposition of old organic matter in two peatlands ...

The terms of turbulent kinetic energy budget within random arrays of emergent cylinders

Anton Schleiss, Mário Jorge Rodrigues Pereira Da Franca, Ana Margarida Da Costa Ricardo

This article is aimed at quantifying and discussing the relative magnitude of key terms of the equation of conservation of turbulent kinetic energy (TKE) in the inter-stem space of a flow within arrays of vertical cylinders simulating plant stems of emerge ...

Do peatlands hibernate?

Alexandre Buttler, Vincent Eric Jules Jassey, Constant Signarbieux, Robert Thomas Edmund Mills

Winter seasonality with low amounts of incoming radiation, frost and snow cover characterize large areas at mid- and high latitudes, especially in the arctic and in mountain ranges. Because of these adverse conditions, it is often assumed that ecosystem pr ...

Hydrodynamics of turbulent flows within arrays of circular cylinders

Ana Margarida Da Costa Ricardo

In rivers riparian vegetation can have not only strong interaction with the flow but also with the ecological services of the aquatic system. In wetlands and along riverbanks often tree-like vegetation with quite stiff trunks can be found. The study of the ...

Tree root systems competing for soil moisture in a 3D soil–plant model

Gabriele Manoli, Sara Bonetti, Gabriel George Katul

Competition for water among multiple tree rooting systems is investigated using a soil–plant model that accounts for soil moisture dynamics and root water uptake (RWU), whole plant transpiration, and leaf-level photosynthesis. The model is based on a numer ...

The performance of single- and multi-proxy transfer functions (testate amoebae, bryophytes, vascular plants) for reconstructing mire surface wetness and pH

Edward Mitchell, Mariusz Lamentowicz

Peatlands are widely exploited archives of paleoenvironmental change. We developed and compared multiple transfer functions to infer peatland depth to the water table (DWT) and pH based on testate amoeba (percentages, or presence/absence), bryophyte presen ...

Turbulent flow within a random array of rigid, emergent stems : Laboratory characterization of the drag coefficient

Anton Schleiss, Mário Jorge Rodrigues Pereira Da Franca, Ana Margarida Da Costa Ricardo

Within the bioengineering framework, designing a non-erodible channel is a complex fluid dynamics problem as it involves knowing the drag exerted on the boundary, the drag exerted on the plant stems and the overall friction slope. Most of the existing desi ...

Biogeochemical plant-soil microbe feedback in response to climate warming in peatlands

Alexandre Buttler, Luca Bragazza, Richard David Bardgett, Julien Parisod

Peatlands act as global sinks of atmospheric carbon (C) through the accumulation of organic matter(1), primarily made up of decay-resistant litter of peat mosses(2). However, climate warming has been shown to promote vascular plant growth in peatlands, esp ...
