Study Site: Fort Simpson, Northwest Territories
Purpose: Northern peatlands have stored significant quantities of carbon (C) since the early Holocene at rates that vary among peatland types. Pollen concentration dating was used to provide estimates o f true C accumulation and sequestration efficiency in different peatland systems in the discontinuous permafrost zone near Fort Simpson, Northwest Territories, Canada.
Abstract: Sediment/rock depth, sample thickness, dry bulk density and organic carbon density of a high-resolution peat core from the Past Global Changes - Carbon in Peat on Earth through Time (PAGES_C-PEAT) Project.
