The relationship among micro-topographical variation, water table depth and biogeochemistry in an ombrotrophic bog

Peatlands store 30% of global terrestrial organic carbon. At the Mer Bleue research site in southern Canada (45.40° N, 75.50° W), it has been shown that changes in water storage affect carbon fluxes in and out of the peatland. Mer Bleue has a distinct hummock – hollow surface topography. The micro-t...
