| dc.description.abstract | This study looks at an abandoned peatland ten years after a restoration which was undertaken to return the peatland to its natural ecological function of carbon storage. This thesis examines the export of organic carbon in water (dissolved organic carbon), its chemical properties, and carbon dioxide (CO2) flux in different vegetation communities and environmental conditions, ultimately seeking to understand how restoration has affected the carbon exchange in the restored peatland, vs. an abandoned peatland, and a nearby natural peatland. DOC export was higher at the abandoned site over the course of the year, DOC chemical properties suggested slowing decomposition at the restored site, and restoration has roughly halved atmospheric carbon export, now ten years after restoration. | en_US |
