Very excited to be working in this beautiful marsh site this summer (photo from last year from @knowyouronion.bsky.social) with a new masters student joining my group!
New paper!
We took our peatland moss expertise and methods and applied it to fill and spill water storage dynamics to examine the hydrological controls on rock barrens moss and lichen mat growth. Mat NPP increases with increasing bedrock depression storage.

Disturbance Impacts on swamp and forested peatlands in southern QuΓ©bec
This project will quantify how disturbances affect carbon cycling and hydrology in swamp and forested peatlands of southern QuΓ©bec

Very emo Sphagnum on site today. Must have heard the rumours of a new my chemical romance album this year and (as Iβve been considering) dyed its hair black like itβs 2008 again. Caused by deposition of organic C and humic acids when peaty water evaporates as far as I know #MireChemicalRomance
I love a good #wetland workshop
Can you send me an email at davidson.scott_j@uqam.ca and I will send you some resources! Too long to include here - thanks!
Planning the 2026 field season - lots of exciting #wetland fieldwork ahead!
It's World Wetlands Day!
Soggy wishes to all who celebrate.
Need some music for your wetland party? Enjoy some of the music videos our lab group has put together over the years

On #WorldWetlandsDay, Iβm celebrating the beautiful wetlands here in QuΓ©bec. They cover~18 million ha of the landscape and encompass a wide variety of different types.
#Wetlands everywhere are critical ecosystems - they store carbon, regulate water, and sustain biodiversity! We must protect them!

Book cover for Reproducible Code guide. The cover has a red background with a large yellow-bodied black-headed stag beetle.
Excited to launch the new improved Reproducible Code guide from @britishecologicalsociety.org @methodsinecoevol.bsky.social FREE online here! www.britishecologicalsociety.org//wp-content/... Amazing work by some very talented ECRs. We hope itβs useful!
If you are interested in studying participatory cryosphere science or permafrost science feel free to reach out about these opportunities. Will be recirculating in early January. Also for international scholars there's a new funding opportunity for postdocs where these projects could apply as well!
