Description (French)
Cette contribution soutient le développement de données sur les stocks et les flux de carbone des prairies dans une sélection de parcs nationaux à travers le Canada. Ces travaux combleront des lacunes dans les connaissances et contribueront à la compréhension du carbone des prairies. Ce projet comprendra l'analyse des données pédologiques recueillies dans le parc national des Prairies, l'échantillonnage sur le terrain des données d'attributs pédologiques pertinentes pour trois autres parcs nationaux et la modélisation des stocks et des flux de carbone pour les zones de prairies dans tous les parcs sélectionnés.
Expected Results
Canada’s natural heritage is protected for present and future generations.
Expected Results (French)
