Purpose: This research takes advantage of the paired flux tower approach in Burns Bog to assess how carbon and greenhouse gas fluxes vary at different stages of ecological recovery following disturbance.
Abstract: CO2, CH4, H, and H2O fluxes from a Pine-Sphagnum Bog in Vancouver, data measured from 2019 continuing to present. The Burns Bog Ecological Conservancy Area (BBECA) in the metro Vancouver area presents a unique opportunity for insight into greenhouse gas dynamics post restoration. The bog was significantly disturbed for peat mining, development and agriculture over the last century, however since 2005 there has been both active restoration and natural regeneration occurring within the bog. Hence areas of bog are at varying stages of ecological recovery. This site is a Pine-Sphagnum low shrub site characteristic of a later successional stage. Conversely, CA-DBB, another AmeriFlux site in BBECA, is a Beakrush-Sphagnum site characteristic of an earlier successional stage.
