Peatlands are an important store of soil carbon, and play a vital role in global carbon cycling, and when located in close proximity to urban and industrial areas, can also act as sinks of atmospherically deposited heavy metals. Large areas of the UK... Read More about Peatland restoration : controls on sediment production and reductions in carbon and pollutant export.

Quaternary Science Reviews, 81, 48-61. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.quascirev.2013.09.014

The usefulness of sedimentary charcoal records to document centennial to millennial scale trends in aspects of fire regimes (frequency, severity) is widely acknowledged, yet the long-term variability in these regimes is poorly understood. Here, we us... Read More about 12,000-Years of fire regime drivers in the lowlands of Transylvania (Central-Eastern Europe): a data-model approach.

This study investigates the impact of
accidental fires and the record of recent environmental
change held within a long peat core taken on Burbage
Moor in the south Pennines (UK). The core has been
subjected to mineral magnetic, heavy metal (via... Read More about A peat profile record of recent environmental events in the South Pennines (UK).
