PhD project offer
PhD Project Title: Restoration of minerotrophic peatlands (fens) at the landscape scale | |
|
Program:PhD in Plant Biology Project Description: Since the 1990s, the Peatland Ecology Research Group (PERG) has developed a restoration method tailored to ombrotrophic peatlands (bogs) after peat extraction. However, for minerotrophic peatlands (fens), where peat conditions are richer, this approach is not suitable as it does not promote the return of an ecosystem dominated by sedges and mosses. Given the complexity of the hydrological context of fens, a landscape-scale restoration approach is envisioned, combining the creation of macro-topography with progressive rewetting. The recruited student will participate in evaluating this approach for a fen restoration project in Manitoba. Additionally, the student will examine propagation and reintroduction methods of various fen species, both in greenhouse and field settings. Opportunity:
