We examined the water balance of a forested ombrotrophic peatland and adjacent burned peatland in the boreal plain of western Canada over a 3‐year period. Complete combustion of foliage and fine branches dramatically increased shortwave radiation inputs to the peat surface while halting all tree transpiration at the burned site. End‐of‐winter snowpack was 7–25% higher at the burned site likely due...
Bulk density is a key determinant of numerous physical characteristics in peat including hydraulic conductivity, smouldering combustion vulnerability, and water retention in the unsaturated zone. A Markov chain model based on peat type (primarily Sphagnum, sedge, and sylvic peats) was applied to the depth-wise structure of boreal peatlands using 143 cores from western Canada as source data. Bulk density...
