Study Site: Vancouver Island, British Columbia
Purpose: We present a multi-proxy paleoenvironmental study on a 10,400 cal. yr peat sequence from an ombrotrophic bog in coastal British Columbia, Canada. Pollen, non-pollen palynomorph, plant macrofossil, and physicochemical analyses (bulk density, %C, %N, δ13C, and δ15N isotopes) were used to document changes in vegetation, bog development, and carbon and nitrogen accumulation.
Abstract: Sediment/rock depth, sample thickness, dry bulk density, total carbon, loss on ignition, total nitrogen, carbon of a high-resolution peat core from the Past Global Changes - Carbon in Peat on Earth through Time (PAGES_C-PEAT) Project.
