Nicolas paper on the reduction of dissolved oxygen by peat particulate organic matter in northern peatlands just got accepted in Environ Sci Technol. In this paper, we provide evidence that dissolved oxygen is rapidly consumed through reduction by reduced moieties in peat particulate organic matter in temporarily anoxic parts of a Swedish bog. The approach we took is unique in that we measured oxygen consumption directly in the field. Thanks to everyone involved and particularly to Martin Schroth for introducing the beauty of push pull tests to our group. Congratulations Nicolas!
