Journal Article
Feurdean, A., Diaconu, A.-C., Pfeiffer, M., Gałka, M., Hutchinson, S., Butiseaca, G., …Kirpotin, S. (2022). Holocene wildfire regimes in forested peatlands in western Siberia: interaction between peatland moisture conditions and the composition of plant functional types. #Journal not on list, 18(6), https://doi.org/10.5194/cp-2021-125

Wildfire is the most common disturbance type in boreal forests and can trigger significant changes in forest composition. Waterlogging in peatlands determines the degree of tree cover and the depth of the burnt horizon associated with wildfires. Ho...

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, 126(3), e2020JB021085. https://doi.org/10.1029/2020jb021085

Ferrimagnetic greigite (Fe3S4) is widespread in the sedimentary environment. Despite abundant reports of greigite occurrence in marine and lacustrine deposits, its formation mechanisms in deltaic deposits remain poorly studied. Here we investigate gr...
