Study Site: James Bay lowlands, Québec
Purpose: The stratigraphy of four peat sequences collected in two peat bogs located in the Eastmain River watershed (52° N, 76° W), James Bay lowlands, Québec, Canada, was investigated to reconstruct past hydroclimatic conditions of peat accumulation and associated carbon dynamics during the late Holocene. Analyses of macrofossils, testate amoebae, peat humification, C/N ratio and bulk density were performed at high-resolution along each peat core, allowing the potential of each proxy indicator under varying nutrient status and hydroclimatic conditions to be evaluated.
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.
