	abstract = {Boreal peatland ecosystems occupy about 3.5 million km2 of the earth{\textquoteright}s land surface and store between 250 and 455 Pg of carbon (C) as peat. While northern hemisphere boreal peatlands have functioned as net sinks for atmospheric C since the most recent deglaciation, natural and anthropogenic disturbances, and most importantly wildfire, may compromise peatland C sinks. To examine the effects of fire on local and regional C sink strength, we focused on a 12 000 km2 region near Wabasca, AB, Canada, where ombrotrophic Sphagnum-dominated bogs cover 2280km2 that burn with a fire return interval of 123 },
