Study Site: La Grande Rivière watershed, subarctic Québec
Purpose: In the northeastern sector of the La Grande Rivière watershed (subarctic Quebec, Canada), structured peatlands show signs of recent flooding: expansion and merging of ponds, tree mortality, and degradation of vegetation strips. These symptoms suggest the occurrence of a process called "aqualysis," that is, a physical deterioration of the environment through the expansion of the ponds that compose it, increasing the aquatic surface area and degrading the peat base of the ecosystem.
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.
