- Abstract
The article presents a study on the Holocene Peat Model (HPM), a simulation model designed to determine peat accumulation tested at a temperate bog in Ontario. It states that the HPM was made and evaluated considering factors such as hydrology, peat properties and the nature of plant communities. It adds that peat decomposition and dynamic peat accumulation models were combined in HPM. Moreover, it asserts that the HPM is capable of demonstrating balances in peatland carbon and watecycles.
