Study Site: township of Wandering River, Alberta
Purpose: Northern peatlands are globally significant soil carbon sinks but contribute a significant amount of dissolved organic carbon (DOC) to streams. Climate change driven warming and drying will likely alter peatland DOC dynamics; however, few field studies have quantified the individual and interactive effects of temperature and moisture changes.
Abstract: Vegetation, CO2 flux, and pore water measurements for a continental bog exposed to drainage and warming in the township of Wandering River, Alberta, data collected in the growing seasons of 2012 to 2013
