Abstract
Peatlands represent over 90% of Canadian wetlands and are the focus of considerable hydrological and biogeochemical research. Research on evapotranspiration (ET) has shown that it can exceed annual precipitation (P) where there are replenishing flood events. Evaporation from open water ponds in boreal peatlands exceeds ET from vegetated riparian zones by about two times, but surrounding forests can shelter small ponds by reducing turbulence. In …
