Introduction Peatlands, a class of wetland characterized by anaerobic conditions and large deposits of organic material, are a dominant feature of Canada's boreal landscape. Climate change is forecast to alter patterns of temperature and precipitation in Canada's boreal forest region (Tarnocai, 2009).

Abstract:Peatlands provide vital ecosystem and carbon services, and Canada is home to a significant peatland carbon stock. Global climate warming trends are expected to lead to increased carbon release from peatlands, as a consequence of drought and wildfire. Monitoring hydrologic regimes is a key in understanding the impacts of warming, including monitoring changes in small and temporally variable water bodies in peatlands.
