- W1487766161 abstract "Peatlands are an important component of the global carbon cycle, acting as a significant global net sink of carbon dioxide (C02) and are the largest natural source of atmospheric methane (CH4). Peat is also an important resource and has been used as a fuel grade source of energy and for horticultural purposes in various countries for hundreds of years. The Ontario Government recently developed a target to eliminate coal-fired electricity generation by 2014 which has spurred discussions of replacing coal with alternative biomass fuel sources such as peat in northern Ontario power plants such as the Atikokan Generating Station. The aim of this thesis is to determine the impact of extracting peat from a northern Ontario peatland, in order to assess and quantify any potential ecological impacts in relation to (i) vegetation characteristics and functioning and (ii) greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. In April, 2008, a paired-catchment experiment was initiated at a northwestern Ontario peatland near Thunder Bay. Peat was extracted from a 12 m by 12 m segment of the experimental site and subsequently reclaimed using the peat block / acrotelm transplant method. The upper 30 cm thick section of the surface vegetation within the experimental plot was removed and set aside briefly prior to peat fuel extraction. Following the removal of approximately 1.5 m in depth of peat, the surface vegetation peat blocks were transplanted back onto the surface of the remaining catotelm in the plot." @default.
