PEATLANDS International 2/2011 PEATLANDS international 2/2011 Welcome to Stockholm! 14th International Peat Congress 3 - 8 June 2012 The member magazine of the International Peat Society 1 Talking of: sustainability Klasmann-Deilmann is the most successful group of companies in the international substrate industry. With production and sales companies in Germany and abroad as well as trade partners in more than 70 countries, we lead the world market in this sector. Our growing media provide the basis for successful plant cultivation for professional horticulturists throughout the world. In 2010, we generated sales of EUR 145 million. Our European locations produced 3.3 million m³ of growing media, potting soils and quality compost from green waste. The Klasmann-Deilmann Group employs a workforce of 830 worldwide. Our mission statement, which is based on our ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 certification, confronts us with the daily task of assuming responsibility for man, the environment and future generations. For that reason alone, Klasmann-Deilmann faced up to the diverse challenges of protecting the environment at a very early stage. As a result, we now have comprehensive expertise in matters relating to the re-waterlogging of former peat extraction sites. Over the long term, this will transform around 4000 hectares back into a typical bog landscape. The company makes another major contribution to environmental protection by producing quality composts which are increasingly included in organic substrates for use in commercial horticulture. www.klasmann-deilmann.com KD11.076_Anzeige_Umwelt_210x297mm_Lay_2.indd 1 25.05.11 18:06 PEATLANDS In this issue international 2/2011 Editorial: On our way to Stockholm - International Peat Congress 2012 3 From the President’s Desk: Strategic thoughts 4 Publisher IPS Insights International Peat Society Vapaudenkatu 12 The new IPS website 2 FIN-40100 Jyväskylä, Finland Executive Board Elections 2012 5 Phone: +358 14 3385 440 IPS Elections 2012 – Commissions and Scientific Advisory Board 5 Fax: +358 14 3385 410 IPS Award of Excellence 2012 for persons, groups, and projects 5 E-mail: [email protected] New Members of the IPS 63 Web: www.peatsociety.org IPS Membership Application Form 63 Editor-in-Chief Research reports Jaakko Silpola, Secretary General Peat extraction increasing biodiversity at Torreblanca, Mediterranean Spain 8 Assistant to the Turf Cutting and Conserving Raised Bog Habitat in Ireland 14 Editor-in-Chief Estonian Mire Inventory Completed 20 Use of Ukrainian Peat: Problems and Prospects in Energy Susann Warnecke, and Horticulture 34 Communications Manager Some Aspects of Raised Bog Conservation in Northern Poland 42 Editorial Board Symposia, workshops and conferences Paul Short, Canada 14th International Peat Congress 2012 - Register now! 6 Juhani Päivänen, Finland Peat Day 2011 in Helsinki: Finland’s Energy Sector Does Need Peat 18 Michael Trepel, Germany Workshop on Peat and Humic Substances in Zittau, Germany 24 Catherine Farrell, Ireland Baltic Peat Producers’ Forum 2011 brings more than Lech Szajdak, Poland 200 peat experts to Riga 26 Anne Jelle Schilstra, the Netherlands Visions and Visionaries at the 46th German Peat and Marie Kofod-Hansen, Sweden Humus Day in Bad Zwischenahn 27 Allan Robertson, United Kingdom Sphagnum farming workshop in the Canadian Maritimes 28 Tom Malterer, USA Conference on „Necessity of Peatlands Protection” in Tlen, Bory Tucholskie, Poland 38 Layout Future IPS Meetings and Symposia 64 Events of related organisations 64 Susann Warnecke, IPS Secretariat Taittopalvelu Yliveto Oy Tropical peatlands Printed by Biodiversity research and conservation in Borneo’s peat-swamp forests 46 University of Helsinki and University of Palangka Raya launch joint capacity building project 51 Saarijärven Offset Oy Sharing Best Management Practices on Peatlands in Southeast Asia 52 Finland, in December 2011 The Hydrology of the Ayer Hitam Peat Swamp Forest, Johore, Peninsular Malaysia 55 Cover photo News from our corporate members Crowded street in Stockholm.

OVERVIEW OF APPLICATIONS AGAINST THE ACTIONS OF LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICIALS . 29 AFTERWORD . 43 ANNEX I . 44 ANNEX II . .50 6 PREFACE There is no doubt that the April events concerning the Bronze Soldier will become a benchmark in the contemporary history of the state of Estonia. It is the bifurcation point, the point of division, separating ‘before’ and ‘after’. For Estonian society these events are even more important than joining NATO or European Union. Before April 2007 we lived in one country and now we are getting used to living in another one. Or were these merely illusions and as Eugeny Golikov wrote «the world has not changed, it has just partially revealed its face» («Tallinn», no. 2‑3, 2007)? Before April 26, 2007 we, the population of Estonia, believed that we lived in a democratic country, with proper separation of powers, with efficiently balanced executive and legislative powers, with independent courts, a free press, social control over government, in particular over the security agencies, and so on. After April 26 it turned out that not all this was true, or was not exactly true, or was even false. It turned out that some mechanisms, considered deeply rooted in the democratic society, had no effect and some procedures were easily abandoned. Just one example: by order of the Police Prefect, all public rallies and meetings in Tallinn were prohibited from April 30 till May 11, 2007 and it did not result in any protests or even questions, although this was a restriction of the constitutional right to express opinions, the right of peaceful assembly, rally and demonstration.

  • Global Peatland Restoration Manual
    Global Peatland Restoration Manual Martin Schumann & Hans Joosten Version April 18, 2008 Comments, additions, and ideas are very welcome to: [email protected] [email protected] Institute of Botany and Landscape Ecology, Greifswald University, Germany Introduction The following document presents a science based and practical guide to peatland restoration for policy makers and site managers. The work has relevance to all peatlands of the world but focuses on the four core regions of the UNEP-GEF project “Integrated Management of Peatlands for Biodiversity and Climate Change”: Indonesia, China, Western Siberia, and Europe. Chapter 1 “Characteristics, distribution, and types of peatlands” provides basic information on the characteristics, the distribution, and the most important types of mires and peatlands. Chapter 2 “Functions & impacts of damage” explains peatland functions and values. The impact of different forms of damage on these functions is explained and the possibilities of their restoration are reviewed. Chapter 3 “Planning for restoration” guides users through the process of objective setting. It gives assistance in questions of strategic and site management planning. Chapter 4 “Standard management approaches” describes techniques for practical peatland restoration that suit individual needs. Unless otherwise indicated, all statements are referenced in the IPS/IMCG book on Wise Use of Mires and Peatlands (Joosten & Clarke 2002), that is available under http://www.imcg.net/docum/wise.htm Contents 1 Characteristics,

    Title 430 – National Soil Survey Handbook Part 629 – Glossary of Landform and Geologic Terms Subpart A – General Information 629.0 Definition and Purpose This glossary provides the NCSS soil survey program, soil scientists, and natural resource specialists with landform, geologic, and related terms and their definitions to— (1) Improve soil landscape description with a standard, single source landform and geologic glossary. (2) Enhance geomorphic content and clarity of soil map unit descriptions by use of accurate, defined terms. (3) Establish consistent geomorphic term usage in soil science and the National Cooperative Soil Survey (NCSS). (4) Provide standard geomorphic definitions for databases and soil survey technical publications. (5) Train soil scientists and related professionals in soils as landscape and geomorphic entities. 629.1 Responsibilities This glossary serves as the official NCSS reference for landform, geologic, and related terms. The staff of the National Soil Survey Center, located in Lincoln, NE, is responsible for maintaining and updating this glossary. Soil Science Division staff and NCSS participants are encouraged to propose additions and changes to the glossary for use in pedon descriptions, soil map unit descriptions, and soil survey publications. The Glossary of Geology (GG, 2005) serves as a major source for many glossary terms. The American Geologic Institute (AGI) granted the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service (formerly the Soil Conservation Service) permission (in letters dated September 11, 1985, and September 22, 1993) to use existing definitions.

  • Compressibility Behavior of Tropical Peat Reinforced with Cement Columns
    American Journal of Applied Sciences 4 (10): 786-791, 2007 ISSN 1546-9239 © 2007 Science Publications Compressibility Behavior of Tropical Peat Reinforced with Cement Columns 1Youventharan Duraisamy, 2Bujang B.K. Huat and 2Azlan A. Aziz 1University Malaysia Pahang, Malaysia 2University Putra Malaysia, Serdang, Selangor, Malaysia Abstract : This paper presents the compressibility of tropical peat reinforced with cylin- drical cement columns. When a cement column is installed vertically in peat, its compres- sibility is reduced because of the hardened skeleton matrix formed by cement particles bonding with adjacent soil particles in the presence of pore water. The effects of the ce- ment column diameter on the compressibility have been investigated in this study. The results indicated that compressibility index Cc and Cα decreased with increasing diameter of the cement column. Specimens with 45 mm (area ratio = 0.09) diameter and 60 mm (area ratio = 0.16) diameter of single cement column were cured for 7, 14 and 28 days, after which they were subjected to Rowe Cell Consolidation test. Results are also pre- sented from test conducted on groups of cement columns using four (area ratio = 0.04) and nine (area ratio = 0.09) columns of 15 mm diameter each to investigate the influence of number of cement columns on compressibility of peat soil. Based on the results ob- tained, it shows that cement columns can successfully reduce the compressibility of tropi- cal peat. Keywords: Cement columns, deep soil mixing, organic soil, peat soil, Rowe Cell consol- idation. INTRODUCTION Experimental Design and Laboratory Work: The main objective of this research is to find out the effect of Peat represents the extreme form of soft soil.
