Carbon in Peat on Earth through Time (C-PEAT)
B41B - Carbon Cycling, Ecosystem Functioning, and Restoration in Global Peatlands
Date: Thursday, 14 December 2023
Time: 17:30 - 19:00
Convenors: Greg McDermid (University of Calgary, primary convenor), Julie Loisel
(Texas A&M University College Station), Oliver Sonnentag (Université de Montréal), Dani Degenhart (Natural Resources Canada - Canadian Forest Service)
Description
In this session, we invite the global peatland community to present their research on peatlands across latitudes. Studies from a wide range of global peatlands, including arctic, boreal, temperate, and tropical peatlands are welcome. We encourage participation from studies including but not limited to laboratory and field experiments, flux measurements, remote sensing, ecology, and process-based or large-scale modeling. Studies exploring past, present, and future dynamics are welcome, as well as those seeking to understand the response of degraded peatlands or those under pressure from climate change.
