Study Site: Québec and New Brunswick
Purpose:
In the last 25 years, several degraded peatlands in eastern Canada have been restored toward their natural structure. Pools are common in natural peatlands and are important habitats for unique flora and fauna. Because of their ecological value, pools have been created in some restored peatland sites. Nevertheless, the biogeochemistry of created pools in a restoration context has seldom been studied. The objective of our study is to characterize the biogeochemistry of created pools from restored peatlands and compare them with natural pools along a chronosequence since their creation.
Abstract: The .csv file from this entrance comprises data used in Jolin et al. "Are pools created when restoring extracted peatlands biogeochemically similar to natural peatland pools?". It includes peatland pool biogeochemical data from natural and created pools of eastern Canada sampled during the 2020 and 2021 growing seasons.
