The CO2 dynamics and hydrology of an experimental Sphagnum farming site
(University of Waterloo, 2017-01-23)Sphagnum farming (or cultivation) is a recent land management strategy in reclaimed peatlands. The goal of Sphagnum farming is to cultivate Sphagnum fibers on a cyclic basis. Sphagnum moss is non-vascular and requires high ... -
Deeper Burning Increases Available Phosphorus, Promotes Moss Growth, and Carbon Dioxide Uptake in a Fen Peatland One-Year Post-Wildfire in Fort McMurray, AB
(University of Waterloo, 2019-01-25)Carbon storage in northern peatlands is estimated to be ~795 Tg, equivalent to ~40% of atmospheric CO2. Peatlands are dominant features of the Western Boreal Plains (WBP), which are experiencing a regime shift to a ... -
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 ... -
Modeling of carbon dioxide dissolution in an injection well for geologic sequestration in aquifers
(Elsevier, 2021-04-15)Carbon dioxide (CO2) sequestration is considered to be one of the most effective technologies of mitigating greenhouse gas emissions. In this technology, single phase supercritical CO2 is injected into an underground ...
