Effect of Plant Functional Type on Methane Dynamics in a Restored Minerotrophic Peatland
(Springer, 2017-01)Background and Aims: Peatland methane (CH4) fluxes may vary between plant types; however, in mixed communities, the specific role of each species is difficult to distinguish. The goal of this study was to determine the ... -
Effect of water table drawdown on northern peatland methane dynamics: Implications for climate change
(Wiley, 2004-10-07)As natural sources of methane (CH4), peatlands play an important role in the global carbon cycle. Climate models predict that evapotranspiration will increase under a 2 x CO2 scenario due to increased temperatures leading ... -
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 ... -
Greenhouse gas emission factors associated with rewetting of organic soils
(International Peatland Society (IPS) and the International Mire Conservation Group (IMCG), 2016-04-08)Drained organic soils are a significant source of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions to the atmosphere. Rewetting these soils may reduce GHG emissions and could also create suitable conditions for return of the carbon (C) sink ... -
Methane Dynamics in a Southern Ontario Calcareous Fen
(University of Waterloo, 2020-08-07)Peatlands are important ecosystems that are pivotal for the global carbon budget. They have the ability to take carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere and store it within peat, which has very slow decomposition rates. Peatlands ...
