Abstract

This data set contains three *.csv data files with measurements of organic and inorganic carbon fractions and radiocarbon fractions in peat porewater profiles. Measurements of carbon fractions from enclosure drainage outflows are also included. Porewater profiles were collected up to four times annually from 2014 to 2020 with a piezometer and outflow samples were collected up to eight times annually in 2016 and 2017. Porewater organic and inorganic fractions were measured using a Finnigan Mat Delta V Isotope Ratio Mass Spectrometer and a Shimadzu Total Organic Carbon. Radiocarbon analyses were conducted at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL). The peat soils were subjected to deep peat heating (DPH) beginning in June of 2014 followed by whole ecosystem warming (WEW) in August of 2015 (Hanson et al. 2017). The experimental work was conducted in a Picea mariana [black spruce] – Sphagnum spp. bog forest in northern Minnesota, 40 km north of Grand Rapids, in the USDA Forest Service Marcell Experimental Forest (MEF).

Radiocarbon Analyses Quantify Peat Carbon Losses With Increasing Temperature in a Whole Ecosystem Warming Experiment

Journal Article Wilson, Rachel M. ; Griffiths, Natalie A. ; Visser, Ate ; ... - Journal of Geophysical Research. Biogeosciences

Climate warming is expected to accelerate peatland degradation and release rates of carbon dioxide (CO₂) and methane (CH₄). Spruce and Peatlands Responses Under Changing Environments is an ecosystem-scale climate manipulation experiment, designed to examine peatland ecosystem response to climate forcings. We examined whether heating up to +9 °C to 3 m-deep in a peat bog over a 7-year period led to higher C turnover and CO₂ and CH₄ emissions, by measuring ¹⁴C of solid peat, dissolved organic carbon (DOC), CH₄, and dissolved CO₂ (DIC). DOC, a major substrate for heterotrophic respiration, increased significantly with warming. There was no 7-year trendmore »« less

Abstract Climate warming is expected to accelerate peatland degradation and release rates of carbon dioxide (CO ₂ ) and methane (CH ₄ ). Spruce and Peatlands Responses Under Changing Environments is an ecosystem‐scale climate manipulation experiment, designed to examine peatland ecosystem response to climate forcings. We examined whether heating up to +9 °C to 3 m‐deep in a peat bog over a 7‐year period led to higher C turnover and CO ₂ and CH ₄ emissions, by measuring ¹⁴ C of solid peat, dissolved organic carbon (DOC), CH ₄ , and dissolved CO ₂ (DIC).

SPRUCE Whole Ecosystem Warming (WEW) Peat Water Content and Temperature Profiles for Experimental Plot Cores Beginning June 2016

Dataset Gutknecht, J. ; Kluber, L. A. ; Hanson, P. J. ; ...

This data set provides the peat water content and peat temperature at time of sampling for peat cores collected before and during the SPRUCE Whole Ecosystem Warming (WEW) study. Cores for the current data set were collected during the following bulk peat sampling events: 13 June 2016 and 23 August 2016. Over time, this dataset will be updated with each new major bulk peat sampling event, and dates/methods will be updated accordingly.
