Peat fires and the unknown risk of legacy metal and metalloid pollution
Introduction. Peatlands have persisted for millennia, acting as\nglobally-important sinks of atmospheric carbon\ndioxide (Yu 2012) and regionally-important role\nsinks of pollutants, such as lead, arsenic, or mercury (toxic metals and metalloids, TMMs) (Bindler\n2006). The role peatlands play in atmospheric carbon sequestration often overshadows their role in\nstoring pollutants despite, for example, peat mercury\naccumulation rates increasing 60…
Shallow peat is most vulnerable to high peat burn severity during wildfire
Peatlands typically act as carbon sinks, however, increasing wildfire severity and annual area burned may challenge this carbon sink status. Whilst most peat resistance to wildfire and drought research is based on deep peatlands that rarely lose their water table below the peat profile, shallow peatlands and peat deposits may be most vulnerable to high peat burn severity and extensive carbon loss. To examine the role of pre-fire peat depth on pea…
Did enhanced afforestation cause high severity peat burn in the Fort McMurray Horse River wildfire
Climate change mediated drying of boreal peatlands is expected to enhance peatland afforestation and wildfire vulnerability. The water table depth–afforestation feedback represents a positive feedback that can enhance peat drying and consolidation and thereby increase peat burn severity; exacerbating the challenges and costs of wildfire suppression efforts and potentially shifting the peatland to a persistent source of atmospheric carbon.
