Permafrost peat plateau core data: Lac Levis - MRB13_08

This package contains permafrost peat plateau core data from the paper: Sensitivity of Northern Peatland Carbon Dynamics to Holocene Climate Change. The goal is to evaluate the long-term climate sensitivity and global carbon (C) cycle implications of northern peatland C dynamics by synthesizing available data and providing a conceptual framework for understanding the dominant controls, processes, and interactions of peatland initiation and C accumulation. Permafrost peat plateau core data of organic matter, nitrogen and carbon accumulation rates at different core level in this package were collected with a box corer (active layer) and gas-powered diamond-tipped drill (permafrost) for study of Arctic carbon accumulation during the Holocene.
