Moorlands are unique environments found in uplands of the temperate zone including in the
UK, New Zealand and Ireland, and in some high altitude tropical zones such as the Andean …

Peatlands are important ecosystems for carbon (C) storage, provision of water resources
and biodiversity. UK blanket peats represent 10—15% of those found worldwide. While …

Several studies have highlighted an increase in DOC concentration in streams and lakes of
UK upland catchments though the causal mechanisms controlling the increase have yet to …

Dissolved organic nitrogen (DON) may play an important role in plantnutrition and nitrogen
fluxes in forest ecosystems. In spite of the apparentimportance of DON, there is a paucity of …

Relatively high deposition ofnitrogen (N) in the northeastern United States hascaused
concern because sites could become N saturated. In the past, mass-balance studies have …

Increasing DOC concentrations in rivers of boreal and sub-boreal regions have been a
widely observed phenomena. However, individual studies have been limited in time and …

Dissolved organic carbon (DOC) load in discharges from cultivated soils may have negative
impacts on surface waters. The magnitude of the load may vary according to soil properties …

Water discolouration is a major management problem for UK water companies as a
proportion of the supply relies on runoff from peat-covered catchments. Many peats have …

Seasonal variations of dissolved inorganic nitrogen (DIN)(NO 3–N and NH 4–N) and
dissolved organic nitrogen (DON) were determined in Fuirosos, an intermittent stream …

In the UK, drainage for agricultural reclamation during the 19th and 20th centuries is
responsible for an alteration of the ecological and hydrological functioning of peatlands, in …
