having a profound effect on Monivea Bog. The peat extraction from the bog is having a dramatic effect on the natural environment. The digitizing of the bog using GIS 10.3 was a simplistic method that visually provides how much peat is being extracted from the Bog. The reasons behind the extraction was pointed out by Cruickshank et al, 1995, suggesting that peat extraction is part of an Irish culture which humans use the peat as fuel and horticulture. The peat extraction evidently has an impact on the

The peat bogs of northern Europe have become home to people who have been dead for centuries. These bogs are formed due to limited plant varieties that are largely dominated by sphagnum moss. Within this moss is a polysaccharide called sphagnan, whose antibiotic properties are important in the preservation of the bodies. Most often bog bodies range from 900 BC to 1800 AD. Whether it was an accidental fall, the dumping scene of a murder, or a ritualistic sacrifice, the chemical makeup of these bogs

The peat fields of northwestern Europe are nothing particularly exciting on first inspection. Appearing as empty field, though sometimes lined with strange brown blocks stacked or piled. These blocks are pieces of peat carved from the ground used as a traditional source of energy. However, these peat blocks are perhaps slightly less interesting than the other commodity the peat bogs have to offer; incredibly well preserved mummies or bog bodies. The peat bogs provide the perfect combination of sphagnum

much ecological features. In this study, they illustrate a nontarget-based inverse spatial conservation prioritization by applying it to land-use zoning in the providence of Central Finland. The zoning method consist of the distribution of areas for peat mining. The target that was set up was of 6,000-12,000 hectares, this was proposed to satisfy the stakeholders. These areas were distributed so the ecological losses would be minimized. The areas used for the study was a landscape of 306

is one of Europe's best-known bog bodies. He was found, alongside The Grauballe Man in the early 1950s. Bog bodies recovered from the past are quite wide spread throughout Northern Europe, especially in Denmark, Germany and Ireland. The peat perfectly preserves the bodies due to anaerobic conditions, although the bodies are found blackened, their fingertips, hair and clothing are all still intact. Seamus Heaney uses the bog bodies in his poetry to "uncover, in their meditations

Science Impact of Afforestation Introduction: What is Deforestation? Deforestation is the process of human cutting down trees and destroying the habitats of animals and lives. People would certainly think that deforestation would not be something good for the environment, and afforestation would cause a positive impact on the environment. Well, most people have his perspective like that. The scientist had found proofs that afforestation has the negative impact on the habitats of animals and the

the family were cutting peat to use for fuel. As the family worked, they suddenly saw a face in about 2 metres of peat. They immidiatly called the police at Silkeborg. Where was the body discovered? The body was discovered in a peat bog, Jutland Peninsula in Denmark. Accordingly the peat bog was 10km west of Silkeborg, Denmark. In addition the Tollund man’s body was discovered that he was placed 50 metres away from the solid ground and have been covered with 2 metres of peat. What artefacts were

A bog body is classified as a human corpse that over a long course of time has been naturally mummified in a peat bog. A peat bog is a swamp that collects peat, which is dead plant material, often moss. In the peat bog when a body is mummified they are often known as bog people. These bodies are crucial to our understanding of the past for what they reveal. Since the discovery of the first bog body known as Amcotts Moor Woman who was discovered in 1747 in England, bog bodies have been a main source

Soil Stabilization Soil adjustment a general term for any physical, substance, organic, or joined strategy for changing a characteristic soil to meet a designing purpose.[1] Improvements incorporate expanding the weight bearing capacities and execution of in-situ subsoils, sands, and other waste materials with a specific end goal to reinforce street surfaces. General information[edit] The prime goal of soil adjustment is to enhance the California Bearing Ratio of in-situ soils by 4 to 6 times

Lindow Man (officially Lindow III) is the top half of a male body, found preserved in a peat bog in Cheshire, England. He was spotted on the 1st of August, 1984, by a peat cutter in Cheshire. With his job to keep the belt of his machine cleared he threw away what he thought was a piece of wood. In actual fact this was the leg of the Lindow Man. "I was taken out on to the moss and shown where the previous day 's peat had been taken from. Walking the uncut sections, I found a flap of dark, tanned skin
