Peatlands International is the member magazine of IPS. It consists of about 30-60 pages with background reports on peat and peatlands, reviews of conferences and books. It also publishes research findings, business reports and internal information on the IPS.
This comprehensive presentation discusses peat and mire properties relative to forestry practiced both on pristine mires and drained peatlands. The emphasis is on Nordic conditions. Where relevant, the approaches applied in other parts of the boreal and temperate zones are also discussed. The book is plentifully illustrated. Subject index and almost one thousand references enable its use both as educational text book and reference work. (From University of Helsinki website)
