Study Site: Alberta
Purpose: Global resource development has resulted in numerous disturbances that have a myriad of consequences on peatlands. We examined edge effects from one such disturbance, seismic lines, on plant species percent cover and select functional traits in Alberta, Canada.
Abstract: This data was collected to generate findings on edge effects of linear disturbances in boreal peatlands, through collection of plant tissues for lab analysis and direct plant metric measurements in the field.
