Study Site: Seba Beach, Alberta
Purpose: The microbial community in peat is responsible for organic matter degradation and greenhouse gas emissions, yet its response to peat extraction and peatland restoration remains poorly understood.
Abstract: This file reports the methodology and results of a microcosm experiment conducted at Seba Beach peatlands: Experimental determination of methane production and consumption potential in unrestored, restored and natural peatlands.
