Effects of seismic lines on peatland carbon cycling in boreal Alberta, Canada
(University of Waterloo, 2023-04-21)Peatlands serve as long-term carbon (C) sinks as well as a significant source of methane (CH4) to the atmosphere. Over 134,000 km2 of peatlands are in northern Alberta, a part of the boreal region of Canada where extensive ... -
Impacts of seismic line restoration on CO2, CH4, and biomass
(University of Waterloo, 2021-10-21)Oil and gas exploration has resulted in over 300,000 km of linear disturbances, known as seismic lines, throughout boreal peatlands across Canada. Sites are left with altered hydrologic and topographic conditions that ... -
Impacts Of Seismic Line Restoration Techniques On Nutrient Biogeochemical Processes In A Boreal Fen
(University of Waterloo, 2021-12-23)Peatlands contain 40 cm or more of partially-decomposed plant matter and sequester carbon and nutrients. The disturbance of peatlands alters these ecological functions. Seismic lines, long cutlines in the forest created ...
