Study Site: Hudson Bay Lowlands, Ontario
Purpose: Northern peatlands are a globally significant carbon (C) reservoir, yet also function as dynamic methane (CH4) sources to the atmosphere. The fate of peatland C stores and related climate system feedbacks remain uncertain under scenarios of a changing climate and enhanced anthropogenic pressure. Here, we present a synthesis of Holocene peatland C dynamics for the Hudson Bay Lowlands (HBL), Canada, in relation to the past atmospheric CH4 trends, glacial isostatic adjustment, and paleoclimate.
