Abstract
The purpose of the review is to determine the essential factors for preservation of the Burns Bog as a viable ecosystem. This document contains the executive summary, acknowledgements, and table of contents. Burns Bog covers 3,000 ha of the Fraser River delta. The bog is raised and includes a peat mound above the regional water table, an internal water mound, a two-layered peat deposit, and peatland communities that are widespread and dominated by sphagnum and heather. Forty percent of the original bog has been disturbed by development. The bog's water balance, bog water chemistry, plant species, wildlife, and sensitivity to fire and drought are examined. It is concluded the conditions for recovery of the bog are favourable. About 2,450 ha of the bog must be preserved for it to remain a viable ecosystem. Further studies of hydrology and wildlife and an ongoing monitoring program of key indicators are recommended.
