Saturated Hydraulic Conductivity in Northern Peats Inferred From Other Measurements

Abstract

Abstract In northern peatlands, near‐saturated surface conditions promote valuable ecosystem services such as carbon storage and drinking water provision. Peat saturated hydraulic conductivity ( K sat ) plays an important role in maintaining wet surface conditions by moderating drainage and evapotranspiration. Peat K sat can exhibit intense spatial variability in three dimensions and can change rapidly in response to disturbance. The …
