Decision support for the identification of testate amoebae in microscopy images to detect peat presence in horticultural substrates

Peat is formed by the accumulation of organic material in water-saturated soils. Drainage of peatlands and peat extraction contribute to carbon emissions and biodiversity loss. Most peat extracted for commercial purposes is used for energy production or as a growing substrate. Many countries aim to...
