PhD project - Mapping wetland carbon stocks in southern Quebec
This project is part of the 2030 Plan for a Green Economy of the Government of Quebec, to avoid the destruction and degradation of terrestrial carbon reservoirs. In Quebec, wetlands cover 12.5% of the land area, and in the south of the province these large carbon reservoirs are strongly impacted by anthropogenic activities such as
agriculture and urban development. Wetland conservation and management are important nature-based solutions to mitigate climate change.
