Abstract Seismic lines in boreal peatlands are struggling to restore native canopy level vegetation. Mounding is a common restoration method that provides an advantageous growing environment for...

This thesis explores how seismic line mounding treatments affect vegetation cover and composition, above- and belowground biomass, and carbon dioxide (CO 2) and methane (CH 4) fluxes in the first two...

Mountain valley bottom peatlands are poorly studied systems, particularly in Alberta, Canada, where the provincial inventory has neither mapped nor characterized them. Nonetheless, these ecosystems...
