Study Site: Hudson Bay Lowlands, Ontario
Purpose: Northern peatlands are important sources of methane (CH4) in the atmosphere. However, the magnitude of CH4 emissions and their response to environmental factors are poorly constrained within the Hudson Bay Lowlands (HBL), the largest contiguous peatland complex in North America. This study investigated seasonal (April–November) eddy covariance-derived ecosystem scale CH4 emissions and their predictors from 16 site-years over four different HBL peatlands.
Abstract: Daily average methane (CH4) fluxes and corresponding daily average values of environmental factors (calculated from gapfilled datasets) used to characterize drivers of methane fluxes at four peatland sites in the Hudson Bay Lowlands
