Carbon Storage in Peatlands within an Ever-changing Environment - Soil Organic Matter Dynamics in the Context of Active Volcanism

Möckel, Susanne Claudia (University of Iceland, School of Engineering and Natural Sciences, Faculty of Life and Environmental Sciences, 2022-11)

In the wake of increasing awareness of global warming, peatland conservation and restoration receive impetus by efforts to sequester carbon. Peatlands comprise a significant component of the global carbon cycle as they store up to 30% of global ...
Factors controlling nitrous oxide emissions from managed northern peat soils with low carbon to nitrogen ratio

Liimatainen, Maarit; Voigt, Carolina; Martikainen, Pertti; Hytönen, Jyrki; Regina, Kristiina; Oskarsson, Hlynur; Maljanen, Marja (Elsevier BV, 2018-07)

Managed northern peatlands are an important source of the strong greenhouse gas nitrous oxide (N2O). However, N2O emissions from these managed peatlands display a high spatial variability, and processes governing N2O production and emissions from these ...
Xylanolytic psychotrophs from andosolic sedge fens and moss heaths in Iceland

Rickman, Olivia; Sigurbjörnsdóttir, M. Auður; Vilhelmsson, Oddur (2018-12-21)

Nine xylanolytic bacterial strains were isolated from fen and heath soils in northern Iceland. They were found by 16S rRNA gene sequencing to belong to the genera Paenibacillus, Bacillus, Pseudomonas, and Stenotrophomonas. Using a simple, plate-based ...
