Study Site: Red Earth Creek and Wabasca-Desmarais, Alberta
Purpose: Peatland margins are a distinct ecotone especially vulnerable to deep smouldering in the Boreal Plains because they can experience greater water table drawdown during dry periods compared to peatland middles. Margin recovery trajectories have potentially important implications for wildfire behaviour as both the rate of vegetation recovery and community composition control fuel load and flammability. We compared peatland margin and middle vegetation trajectories using a chronosequence of time-since-fire in boreal Alberta, Canada.
