Study Site: Havre-St-Pierre, Québec
Purpose: Ombrotrophic peatlands (bogs) act as important terrestrial sinks of organic carbon (C). These ecosystems are widespread in coastal maritime regions of eastern Canada. This study aims to evaluate and compare Holocene peatland C dynamics between two maritime ecoclimatic regions along the St. Lawrence North Shore.
Abstract: Sediment/rock depth, sample thickness, dry bulk density, loss on ignition, carbon of a high-resolution peat core from the Past Global Changes - Carbon in Peat on Earth through Time (PAGES_C-PEAT) Project.
