SOIL chemistry, WATER chemistry, SPATIAL variation, and WATERSHEDS
Abstract
The article presents the study which examines the spatial and temporal variability in surface water chemistry, organic soil chemistry and hydrologic indicators at three poor-fen complexes in two boreal catchments in Northern Alberta. The examination is intended to offer insights into the dominant controls on surface water chemistry. The relation between exchangeable base saturation and potential of hydrogen (pH) of organic soils with surface water chemistry at two of the fen complexes is cited.
