Great Basin Naturalist. 36(1):101-107. -Peat cores along transects of 7 minerotrophic peatlands (fens) in the Sagehen Creek [California, USA] basin were made in 1972. The areas were all shallow, sloping peatlands 67-206 cm in maximum depth. Cores from 1 fen contained layers of charcoal and clay that suggested fire followed by fen regeneration. Profiles from Mason Fen suggested that the peat mass was moving downslope, creating splits and ridges with surface pools at right angles to the slope. Comparison of a profile made in 1958 with 1972 showed further evidence of downslope mass movement and expansion of the surface area. -Print Copy in Biosciences ERMAN D C; CHOUTEAU W C. 1979.
