RECIPE Final Aberdeen Progress meeting 29-31/05/2006WP 05: Physical and chemical quality of peat organic matter UK progress Rebekka Artz Stephen Chapman
D17 Assessment of FTIR as an indicator of OM quality • 1st Paper (in prep.) including the FTIR data for which the full organic matter characterisation has been performed • 2nd Paper (in prep.) of the full WP1 FTIR dataset, to determine the effect of regeneration phase on organic matter
FR SC Composition of WP1 organic matter by FTIR spectroscopy The main determinant is geographical origin. Within each country, a gradual return to patterns indicative of intact peat is seen
