Impact of permafrost thaw and wildfire on carbon storage in peatlands
Principal Investigator: Turetsky, Merritt R.
Licensed Year(s): 2014 2013
Summary: The research team aims to study if permafrost thaw in peatlands is linked to rapid losses of organic matter. The field work will focus on extracting a number of cores from different peatland sites that differ in their permafrost status and in fire history. By examining the peat layers in the core the team will be able to reconstruct the history of the site and to link changes in permafrost conditi...
