We used moss increment counting to obtain well-defined samples of the topmost peat layers of two Sphagnum fuscum hummocks. The two ombrotrophic bogs, Lakkasuo in central Finland and Korvinsuo in eastern Finland, are of different ages, covering 3 and 9 ka, respectively. Using AMS dating, we traced bomb-produced 14C through the topmost parts of the two peat profiles. A well-defined 14C activity peak was found in both sequences dating the corresponding layer to ad 1965. A comparison between the maximum peat activities and the corresponding atmospheric values for the period of interest provides an opportunity to evaluate the amount of CO2 emanating from the decaying peat bog, and taken up by the living sphagnum plants.Considerable variations in δ13C values were also observed. These variations indicate, at least partly, annual variations in the emission rate of CO2 from decomposition of older peat in the bog, and are connected with climatic factors such as temperature and precipitation.

The antioxidant activity of lipids extracted from peats and sapropels from Tomsk and Novosibirsk Regions and Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrug is estimated by microcalorimetry. The presence of antioxidants (AO) in the lipids of all peats under study and in a sapropel from the Dolgoye Lake is confirmed by the presence of an induction period (950–14000 s) on the heat release curve and the decrease in the final rate of the model reaction of the initiated cumene oxidation by 25–90%. The total amount of lipid antioxidants varying within the range (22–183)∙10-3 mol/kg is determined by the degree of inhibition of the oxidation reaction. The concentration of identified organic compounds (25–186 μg/g) including alkanes, fatty acids, steroids, terpenoids, and tocopherols is determined by chromatography-mass spectrometry, which correlates with the amount of AO in the peat. It is shown that the samples of initial peats are ordered by their antioxidant activity as follows: sphagnum fuscum > cotton grass > lowland wood > sphagnum phallax. Sphagnum fuscum peats are characterized by the maximum biological activity, which makes it possible to recommend them as an optimal raw material for practical use.

AbstractA unique 800-yr-long record of annual temperatures and precipitation over the south of western Siberia has been reconstructed from the bottom sediments of Teletskoye Lake, Altai Mountains using an X-ray fluorescence scanner (XRF) providing 0.1-mm resolution timeseries of elemental composition and X-ray density (XRD). Br content appears to be broadly correlative with mean annual temperature variations because of changes in catchment vegetation productivity. Sr/Rb ratio reflects the proportion of the unweathered terrestrial fraction. XRD appears to reflect water yield regime and sediment flux. Sedimentation is rather continuous because annual clastic supply and deposited mass are the same. The artificial neural networks method was applied to convert annual sedimentary time-series of XRD, Br content, and Sr/Rb ratio to annual records of temperature and precipitation using a transfer function. Comparison of these reconstructed Siberian records with the annual record of air temperature for the Northern Hemisphere shows similar trends in climatic variability over the past 800 yr. Estimated harmonic oscillations of temperature and precipitation values for both historical and reconstructed periods reveal subdecadal cyclicity.
