Under this activity, we will compile data on carbon stocks (plant biomass, soil carbon) and fluxes (e.g., net primary productivity ecosystem carbon dioxide and methane exchange) from peatlands affected by a variety of disturbance types including drainage, roads, seismic lines, forestry, and power transmission lines.

This activity will build on model development and testing in other Can-Peat activities, to evaluate the potential for peatland NbS in Canada to 2050 and 2100, under various scenarios of future climate and disturbance regimes.
This activity aims to put the data, knowledge, information, and models coming out of the different Can-Peat research and knowledge mobilization activities together in a meaningful and impactful way, making use of multiple online and offline data and modelling platforms to maximize (i) accessibility to the new data and knowledge and (ii) uptake and wide-spread applications of the project results in actual policy and decision-making.
There have been limited applications of Indigenous data sovereignty to peatland data. This activity aims to fill that gap.
In this project activity we aim to map peatland management practices, biodiversity, and ecosystem health.
In this activity, we will quantify total carbon stocks since the last glaciation to map the existing carbon sink of peatlands in Canada.
In this project activity, we aim to improve our conceptual and quantitative understanding of the function of soil biogeochemical processes that regulate the changes in carbon and nutrient driven by variations in anthropogenic disturbances.
