14. CH4 Production

15. Further work: • 1st harvest expected to take place either end of november or mid march (pending decision) • Clare Trinder will use the field site for litter bag experiments

16. III. Fungal community structure analysis by DGGE of ribosomal 18S and/or ITS sequences

17. CVA of fungal ITS DGGE patterns per country, grouped by site. Figures show Finland (A); Scotland (B); France Russey (C) and Switzerland (D).

18. III. Fungal community structure analysis • Clone library from DNA-derived ITS fragments has been prepared • now cloned fragments are typed for RFLP type (in order to minimise no. of clones to be sequenced)

19. IV. Community level physiological profiling • Method optimised for use with peat; 48 h incubation period; 14C-labeled C sources used:

20. Other data are needed to perform CCA.

21. CVA of CLPP patterns per country, grouped by site. Figures show Finland (A); Scotland (B); France Russey (C) and Switzerland (D).

22. V. FTIR (preliminary analysis)

23. CVA of FTIR patterns per country, grouped by site. Figures show Finland (A); Scotland (B); France Russey (C) and Switzerland (D).
