Last week of fieldwork (for me!) this week for the summer.
We installed minirhizotron tubes at the flux collars in our open and treed bog for incoming postdoc Miranda Hunter’s project looking at above- and belowground productivity/phenology
Ended the trip with a nice poutine by the river !

Not to be outdone, Tracking the Colour of Peatlands (#PeatColours) is now in its third year.
We've had over 1000 photos so far this year. I love seeing people engage with peatlands, sharing their photos and helping us understand their dynamics through the dataset that is being produced!

Since launching 'Suivre la couleur des milieux humides au Québec' in May '26 we've already received 525 photos from citizen scientists across our first 9 sites!
Not only is this a fun project to help understand seasonal change in wetlands, but it helps raise awareness of these important ecosystems!

Left the peatlands behind this week and got to work in this beautiful freshwater marsh!
My new masters student Maya will be measuring GHG fluxes using our new stackable chambers as part of the CARBONIQUE project
Lots of fieldwork this summer (which always bring a little stress) but a lot of fun!

Birches drain the #bog? @carterarla.bsky.social shows in our recent paper that this might be a simplification as birches might rather be an indicator of disturbed hydrological conditions than its cause.
