Northern fens, that host unique biota and form a remarkable carbon stock, are sensitive to changes in the moisture balance and, therefore, may be strongly affected by climatic fluctuations. However, long-term monitoring and palaeoecological studies of fens are relatively rare and, as a result, their responses to past and current climatic fluctuatio...
In this review we assess past and current trends in the use of testate amoebae in peatland science, concentrating
mainly on studies conducted in northern peatlands. We also discuss the potential of testate amoebae for future
research. Testate amoebae are unicellular protists that are covered by protective tests which are easily
identifiable and...
