Consequences of peatland disturbance for dissolved organic matter and nutrient transport and fate in northern catchments
DownloadFall 2023
Northern peatlands contain ~415 Pg of carbon (C) in soil organic matter and are significant sources of dissolved organic matter (DOM) in inland waters. DOM includes a range of molecules that are C-rich and may also contain nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P). The escalating disturbance of peatlands...

Influence of wildfire and permafrost thaw on dissolved organic carbon (DOC) in northern peatlands; implications for lability and downstream transport
DownloadFall 2017
Peatlands in Canada’s western boreal forest are a major source of dissolved organic carbon (DOC) to downstream ecosystems, where DOC regulates carbon cycling, and can affect ecosystem productivity and habitat quality. Subarctic ecosystems are becoming increasingly vulnerable to the effects of...

Landscape influences on downstream concentrations of mercury, methylmercury, and dissolved organic carbon in permafrost peatland catchments
DownloadFall 2024
Thawing permafrost in northern regions threatens to increase the downstream delivery of mercury (Hg) and its organic form, methylmercury (MeHg). Permafrost thaw may mobilize large Hg and dissolved organic carbon (DOC) stores from permafrost soils. Once mobilized, inorganic Hg (Hg(II)) can be...
