Centre-Ville, Montréal, Québec, Canada 3current address: Geography, College of Life and Environmental Sciences, University of Exeter, UK _______________________________________________________________________________________ SUMMARY Peatlands have been widely studied in terms of their ecohydrology, carbon dynamics, ecosystem services and palaeoenvironmental archives. However, several assumptions are frequently made about peatlands in the academic literature, practitioner reports and the popular media which are either ambiguous or in some cases incorrect. Here we discuss the following ten common assumptions about peatlands: 1. the northern peatland carbon store will shrink under a warming climate; 2. peatlands are fragile ecosystems; 3. wet peatlands have greater rates of net carbon accumulation; 4. different rules apply to tropical peatlands; 5. peat is a single soil type; 6. peatlands behave like sponges; 7. Sphagnum is the main ‘ecosystem engineer’ in peatlands; 8. a single core provides a representative palaeo-archive from a peatland; 9. water-table reconstructions from peatlands provide direct records of past climate change; and 10. restoration of peatlands results in the re-establishment of their carbon sink function. In each case we consider the evidence supporting the assumption and, where appropriate, identify its shortcomings or ways in which it may be misleading.

  • Glossary Ablation Till: Till Carried on Or Near the Surface of a Glacial Ice Column and Let Down As the Glacier Melted and Retreated
    Glossary ablation till: till carried on or near the surface of a glacial ice column and let down as the glacier melted and retreated. alluvium: any mineral or detrital sediment that is transported and deposited by the flowing water of a river or stream. Riverbeds, floodplains, and deltas are all made up of alluvium. backswamp: low-lying wet areas on river floodplains, located away from the active river channel. basal till: till carried in the base of a glacial ice column and deposited under the glacier. Basal till is therefore very dense and typically forms a layer that impedes drainage. biological diversity (biodiversity): the complexity of all life at all its levels of organization, including genetic variability within species, species and species interac- tions, ecological processes, and the distribution of species and natural communities across the landscape. bog: an acidic, peat-accumulating wetland that is isolated from mineral-rich water sources by deep peat accumulation and therefore receives most of its water and nutri- ents from precipitation. Bogs are dominated by sphagnum moss and heath family shrubs. boreal forest: a circumpolar band of northern forests bordered to the north by open tundra and to the south by more transitional forests. Boreal forests are characterized by species of pine, spruce, fir, tamarack, birch, and poplar that are adapted to the extreme cold of this region. bryophyte: a division of plants including the mosses, liverworts, and hornworts. calciphile: a plant that thrives in calcium-rich soils. circumneutral: having a pH near 7.0 and therefore neither strongly acidic nor basic. cliff: an exposed, steep face of rock.

  • Maulagowna Bog Csac Site Code 1881 Co. Kerry
    National Parks and Wildlife Service Conservation Plan for 2006-2011 Maulagowna Bog cSAC Site Code 1881 Co. Kerry SUMMARY Introduction Maulagowna Bog cSAC has been designated as a candidate Special Area of Conservation under the EU Habitats Directive. The site has been designated due to the presence of active blanket bog, which is a priority habitat listed under Annex I of the EU Habitats Directive. It is a good example of a headwater blanket bog, a type of bog that is rare in the south-west of Ireland. Description of Maulagowna Bog cSAC Maulagowna Bog is located on the northern edge of the Caha Mountains, Co. Kerry. The blanket bog is intact and in an apparently natural state. It has the characteristic species for this habitat, including Bog Cotton, Purple Moor-grass, Deer Grass and Ling Heather. In some areas, bog flushes occur, where species such as Sharp-flowered Rush, Bog Pimpernel and Marsh Violet can be found. Blanket bog occurs in association with heath and upland grassland. The heath habitat has similar plant species to the blanket bog, while upland grassland is characterised by the presence of grasses, sedges and mosses. Cummer Lough occurs to the east of the site. This species-poor, corrie lake supports Pipewort, Shoreweed and Water Lobelia. Exposed rock is most noticeable in the cliffs partially surrounding Cummer Lough, where a variety of vegetation types occur. There are several streams within the site. Chough are present within the site, a species listed under Annex I of the EU Birds Directive. Sheep and cattle grazing occur.
