The Bourtanger Moor: Endurance and vulnerability of a raised bog system
From the study of a raised bog complex in the former Bourtanger Moor in the northeastern Netherlands, which was formed between ca. 4500 BC and 1700 AD, it is clear that raised bogs are both very robust and vulnerable systems, which can develop within fairly broad climatological limits, but that they are also extremely sensitive to the effects of drainage caused by reclamation carried out by man. By means of good management, aimed primarily at restoring the typical ombrogenous hydrological system, in all likelihood it will be possible to develop the growth of raised bog in nature reserves suitable for this purpose, namely peat-bog relicts
Digital mRNA profiling.
Color-coded probe pairs enable multiplexed gene expression analysis with a sensitivity that rivals PCR-based methods
