Study Site: La Grande Rivière, 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. Four peat cores were collected from pools in the Aéroport (54°6'2"N, 72°30'59"W) and Ours (54°2'56"N, 72°27'25"W) peat bogs, located in the Laforge-1 sector.
Abstract: Sediment/rock depth, sample thickness, dry bulk density, loss of ignition, carbon of a high-resolution peat core from the Past Global Changes - Carbon in Peat on Earth through Time (PAGES_C-PEAT) Project.
