An evaluation of the water balance and moisture dynamics within Sphagnum mosses following the restoration (rewetting) of an abandoned block-cut bog
(University of Waterloo, 2011-09-30)Artificial drainage networks established throughout peatlands during the peat extraction process often remain active following abandonment, maintaining a water table relatively far from the surface of the peat and hindering ... -
The Hydrochemical Fate and Transport of Treated Domestic Wastewater Contaminants During a Wastewater Polishing Experiment in a Sub-Arctic Ladder Fen Peatland
(University of Waterloo, 2016-09-27)Protecting northern aquatic ecosystems is critical to ensuring the sustained use of these environments; however, with increasing industrial and residential development pressures in this region the safe and effective treatment ... -
The influence of peat volume change and vegetation on the hydrology of a kettle-hole wetland in Southern Ontario, Canada
(International Mire Conservation Group and International Peat Society, 2007-12)Links between local hydrology and vegetation type exist in wetlands, yet it is unclear what role peat volume change plays in these interactions. We measured peat volume change and hydraulic conductivity (Kfield) at three ...
