Title: Geochemistry of Slave_Lake peat core
Citation: Kuhry, Peter (2018): Geochemistry of Slave_Lake peat core [dataset]. PANGAEA, https://doi.org/10.1594/PANGAEA.890353
Study Site: Slave Lake, Northwest Territories
Purpose: Net accumulation rates of carbon in a 9000 calendar year record of Sphagnum fuscum peat in western boreal Canada range from 13.6 to 34.9 g · m-2·yr-1. The depth vs. age curve is slightly convex due to generally declining net productivity at the site. Fossil carbon/nitrogen ratios of bulk Sphagnum fuscum peat and its components are used to calculate the rate and total amount of decay in the deeper anoxic peat deposits.
