Study Site: James Bay Lowland, Ontario
Purpose: Peatlands surrounding Hudson and James Bays form the second largest peatland complex in the world and contain major stores of soil carbon (C). This study utilized a transect of eight ombrotrophic peat cores from remote regions of central and northern Ontario to quantify the magnitude and rate of C accumulation since peatland initiation and for the past 2000 calendar years before present (2 ka).
Abstract: Sediment/rock depth, sample thickness, dry bulk density, loss on ignition, and carbon of a high-resolution peat core from the Past Global Changes - Carbon in Peat on Earth through Time (PAGES_C-PEAT) Project.
