Potential carbon loss associated with post-settlement wetland conversion in southern Ontario, Canada

Potential carbon loss associated with post-settlement wetland conversion in southern Ontario, Canada

Abstract Background Natural wetlands can mitigate ongoing increases in atmospheric carbon by storing any net balance of organic carbon (peat) between plant production (carbon uptake) and microbial decomposition (carbon release). Efforts are ongoing to quantify peat carbon stored in global wetlands,...
