DOI: 10.1007/s004420100807
Abstract: Abstractδ15N signatures of fossil peat were used to interpret past ecosystem processes on tectonically active subantarctic Macquarie Island. By comparing past vegetation reconstructed from the fossil record with present-day vegetation analogues, our evidence strongly suggests… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10064-020-01823-w
Abstract: The traditional use of cement for soil stabilisation is challenged by peat due to the high organic content in peat and the associated unfavourable environmental and economic impacts. This study explores the potential and benefits… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10706-018-0643-3
Abstract: The ASTM standard provides guidelines for the drained direct shear test (DST) and requires the samples to be sheared at rates estimated from time to failure, $$t_{f} \ge 50t_{50}$$tf≥50t50 (where $$t_{50}$$t50 is the time required… read more here.
