Ecohydrological responses to rewetting of a highly impacted raised bog ecosystem
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Abstract Monitoring peatland restoration can be labour intensive, and monitoring activities can result in further disturbance, suggesting that remote sensing can play an important role in assessing ecosystem responses to restoration efforts. In this study, we assessed the response of plant phenological parameters for Burns Bog, a highly disturbed peatland in Western Canada, to restoration efforts. We evaluated the potential for rewetting of disturbed areas to reverse impacts from prior drainage by assessing hydroclimatic controls of precipitation and water table height fluctuations in concert with normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) and evapotranspiration (ET) parameters obtained from the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer platform. Three transects, at different stages of rewetting were used in this study: a control transect with undisturbed native bog vegetation, and transects over disturbed areas with rewetting efforts begun in 2001 and 2005, respectively. Additionally, impacts from a fire event occurring in one of the rewetted transects were investigated. Results showed that rewetting was an efficient restoration procedure for Burns Bog, with both water table height and peat coverage increasing in the rewetted areas. Both rewetted transects are exhibiting characteristics in line with increased Sphagnum coverage in response to rewetting, with NDVI values ranging from 0.5 during the wet season to 0.9 during the growing season and with ET around 450 mm y −1 . Additionally, changes in NDVI and ET were strongly correlated to precipitation, temperature and the change in water table height at each transect. We found that NDVI was more effective than ET for investigating the impacts of disturbance events (e.g., fires in the bog), whereas ET provided a better index to monitor the ecohydrological functioning of the bog in response to restoration efforts.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; both teacher heads agree on what is shown here.
