Study Site: James Bay Lowlands, Ontario
Purpose: The Hudson Bay Lowlands (HBL) of northern Ontario, a globally significant carbon store, are characterized by expansive peatland complexes of patterned bogs and fens, which play a vital role in regional water regulation. These peatlands are threatened by disturbance from large-scale resource extraction and projected climate change, both of which have the potential to compromise their ecohydrological function.
Abstract: The data in this repository include (1) observed climatological data measured at the site meteorological stations; (2) observed streamflow data from each instrumented catchment; (3) simulated streamflow data from each modelled catchment; (4) model input files (5) input and output files from the stochastic weather generator, LARS-WG; (6) output files from running Monte Carlo simulations of projected climate and mine dewatering; and (7) R scripts that facilitated the Monte Carlo simulations.
