DESCRIPTION:PhD Oral Defence of Kelly Nugent\, Natural Resource Sciences\n
 \nThe global scale of peatland loss\, drainage and use is worrisome as pea
 tlands\, when undisturbed\, perform an essential function of removing CO2 
 from the atmosphere\, which has a cooling impact on the climate. A large a
 mount of funding has recently been put toward restoring peatlands\, in the
  hopes of returning lost ecological services\, including climate regulatio
 n. Of the restoration sites studied\, most were less than a decade old and
  none were consistent annual carbon sinks. The timeframe needed for carbon
  functioning to re-establish is practical knowledge that is needed to just
 ify and improve restoration practices. In this thesis\, I have determined 
 the timeframe and net climate impact of re-establishing a carbon sink at a
 n actively rewetted and revegetated post-extraction peatland. Findings fro
 m this study demonstrated that re-establishing key peatland species and in
 tegrating structures to increase water retention are effective at re-estab
 lishing the net carbon sink rate to that of an undisturbed peatland within
  a decade and a half. The legacy of cutover peat in reducing CH4 productio
 n and thus emission helps increase carbon accumulation in the short-term w
 hile also reducing the climate warming impact of the restored site during 
 the transition to a carbon sink. An industry after-use plan that includes 
 prompt active restoration is most effective at reducing the climate impact
  of a post-extraction site and is key to utilizing peatland restoration as
  a climate change mitigation strategy.\n\nEveryone in the 9IÖÆ×÷³§Ãâ·Ñ community
  is welcome to attend a PhD Oral Defence. Please join us in celebrating th
 e accomplishments of our PhD candidates.\n
