Natural and industrial stress is expected to have a pronounced impact on ecosystems in the boreal plain of Western Canada (WBP) but it is not clear how this will affect the cycling and storage of water and carbon in these environments. Boreal wetland pond complexes that comprise the mosaic of this region are sustained by hydrologic connectivity with upland areas. Fluctuations in hydrologic connectivity have implications for carbon cycling in the ponds and peatlands as well as pond permanence and peatland succession.
