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:
N-Acetyl-Glucosamine
Glucose
Benzoic acid
Galactose
Phenylethylamine
Arabinose
Glycine
Xylose
Lysine
Sucrose
Arginine
D-Mannitol
Aspartic acid
Glucosamine
Glutamic acid

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).
