Examples of Sphagnum bog in a sentence
Further funding will also be available to convert research on abatement technologies into carbon estimation methodologies.Examples of research focused on the impact of climate change on wetlands being conducted by the states and territories include:ACT – A Sphagnum bog mapping and recovery plan to help manage the challenges from climate change mapped peatlands (bogs and fens) in detail.
Vegetation is dominated by graminoids such as purple moor-grass, cotton grass or deer grass with Sphagnum bog mosses scarce or absent.
The difference in water levels prevents contamination and ensures the continued recharge function of the bog and the processing of contaminants prior to reaching the sensitive communities in the Sphagnum bog mat.
Maintain a viable extent of the wet heath feature (as a mosaic of vegetation with broad affinity to M16 with small Sphagnum bog pools and transitions to H1 dry heath and Molinia) within the overall heathland M16/H1 mosaic – prolonged exceedances of nitrogen loads may increase Molinia dominance at expense of heathers and bog species.
Trace metals exhibit hysteresis that differs from DOC and Na. The early flush occurs on the rising limb (Figure 5), suggesting that significant portions of snowmelt routed through shallow organic‐rich soils that are close to mine‐ impacted areas (Sphagnum bog at Iron Fen), mobilizing metals as organic‐ metal complexes accumulated during pre‐event months.
The moorland, bog and wet heath communities are characterised by many plants with very restricted western European distributions - Lesser Twayblade, Listera cordata, Pale Butterwort, Pinguicula lusitanica, Bog Asphodel, Narthecium ossifragum, Great Sundew, Drosera anglica, and many species of Sphagnum bog moss - although dominated by what is often regarded as common plants - Heather, Cross-leaved Heath, Erica tetralix, Deer Grass, Scirpus caespitosum, Cotton Grass and PurpleMoor Grass.
Despite a long history of extensive peat extraction since the late nineteenth century, the site retains substantial areas of Sphagnum bog, which has been changed by succession to wet scrub woodland dominated by Birch Betula sp., sallows and Alder Alnus glutinosa.
Therefore, attempt was made in this study to determine the status of land use changes over a period of time between 2000 and 2012 with a view to detecting the land consumption rate and the changes that have taken place so as to predict possible changes that might take place in the next 20 years.
The extraction of refined rules from knowledge-based neural networks.
The vegetation is typically dominated by mixtures of cross-leaved xxxxx Xxxxx tetralix, xxxxxxx Calluna vulgaris, grasses, sedges and Sphagnum bog- mosses The evidence base2 shows a range of impacts consistent with high visitor numbers.
