DOWNLOAD EBOOKFrom 1982-84, the Ontario Geological Survey conducted an inventory of peatlands in 16 study areas across Ontario. Field investigations were performed by private-sector consulting firms, necessitating precise project specifications and a standardized approach. The first year's investigations were modelled on the New Brunswick and Finnish systems but were later modified. This report describes the 1984 field-work methods, covering field work, mapping and profiling, and report writing. Directions are given for both detailed and reconnaissance evaluations of the peat stratigraphy and peatland vegetation.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis inventory provides information on the possible energy and horticultural potential of the resource, and assists in land use planning and deposition by assembling data on the distribution, frequency and types of peatlands. During the inventory, 16 large study areas were the focus of detailed field surveys, reconnaissance and remote sensing studies, and laboratory analysis of peat materials. This report is one of 3 regional summaries, covering 88,000 sq km in northwestern Ontario, in the Armstrong, Rainy River, Ignace, Sioux Lookout, Longlac-Nakina and Dryden-Lac Seul areas. The report integrates field studies, laboratory studies and regional resource estimates.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKPeatland resources of southeastern Ontario were investigated as part of the Peatland Inventory Project, conducted from 1982-85. Data from Peterborough, Kingston-Belleville, Pembroke, Ottawa-Brockville, and Parry Sound are presented and integrated to provide a regional overview of the resource. The methods used for the peatland inventory ranged from on-site detailed mapping and sampling to regional satellite image interpretation. Laboratory analyses of the physical and chemical properties of the peat were also undertaken for 483 samples. Of the 759 peatlands/wetlands larger than 100 ha that were identified in the region, 143 were surveyed.
