Aspects of microbial communities in peatland carbon cycling under changing climate and land use pressures (2023)
Journal Article
Robinson, C., Ritson, J., Alderson, D., Malik, A., Heinemeyer, A., Gallago-Sala, A., …Evans, M. (2023). Aspects of microbial communities in peatland carbon cycling under changing climate and land use pressures

Globally, major efforts are being made to restore peatlands to maximise their resilience to anthropogenic climate change, which puts continuous pressure on peatland ecosystems and modifies the geography of the environmental envelope that underpins pe...

It began as a response to the 2020 shift to online learning when the COVID-19... Read More about The Virtual Palaeosciences (ViPs) project: resources for online learning in or out of a pandemic.

Tectonic, climatic and autogenic controls on the late quaternary evolution of the Someș fluvial fan, North-East Pannonian Basin, Central Europe (2022)
Journal Article
Persoiu, I., Sipos, G., Radoane, M., Hutchinson, S., Michczyńska, D., & Persoiu, A. (2022). Tectonic, climatic and autogenic controls on the late quaternary evolution of the Someș fluvial fan, North-East Pannonian Basin, Central Europe. Geomorphology, 417, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.geomorph.2022.108450

The Someș fluvial fan is located in the NW extremity of the Great Hungarian Plain (Pannonian Basin). It was formed by the left-side tributaries of the Tisa River (a tributary of the Danube) as they developed westward, following the avulsion of the ma...

Reconstruction of sediment accumulation in river deltas over the Holocene provides a basis for understanding the relationship between climate change, human activities and delta growth. However, variations in deposition rates on a centennial‐scale ove... Read More about Multi‐Centennial Variability of Yangtze Delta Growth Over the Last 2000 Years: Interplay of Climate and People.

Holocene wildfire regimes in forested peatlands in western Siberia: interaction between peatland moisture conditions and the composition of plant functional types (2022)
Journal Article

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...
