Purpose: As carbon cycling is complex with considerable spatial and temporal variations not only between but also within individual peatlands, determining the generality of the patterns observed is therefore a priority. Carbon accumulation responses to climate changes in the late Holocene have been variable; however, it has been suggested that the detection of Little Ice Age climate change-driven signals have been limited by poor dating resolution in recent peat samples. In order to predict how the C balance may change in the future, this thesis focuses on the recent trends in carbon accumulation since the LIA in this region by increasing the dating resolution as well as considering within-site variability with replicate cores from a range of microforms.
