Study Site: La Romaine watershed, Québec
Purpose: First-order streams flowing through peatlands receive, carry and transform large amounts of organic carbon, methane (CH4) and carbon dioxide (CO2) but remain poorly documented. The objectives of this study were to (a) identify the origins of CO2 and CH4 (thereafter C-GHG for carbon greenhouse gases) in a peatland headwater stream, (b) determine the environmental factors driving C-GHG export and emissions, and (c) quantify C-GHG losses from this system and discuss its implications.
Abstract: Data were collected from eight sampling sites along a 3 km boreal peatland headwater stream (Eastern Canada) over the growing seasons 2019 and 2020.
