English title: Potential of peatlands for forest drainage in Canada

Abstract

Estimations of the peatland area in Canada vary from 110 to 170 mill, hectares depending on the definition. Most of the peatlands are situated in the cool and humic boreal zone. The potential of peatlands for wood production especially in Newfoundland, Alberta and Ontario after amelioration (drainage, fertilization, afforestation) are discussed based on literature and several visits to these provinces.
