Long term follow-up of pCO(2), pCH(4) and emissions from Eastmain 1 boreal reservoir, and the Rupert diversion bays, Canada

摘要

Eastmain 1 reservoir (James Bay area, Quebec, Canada) is a 600 km(2) boreal reservoir, created in November 2005 in the Eastmain River watershed. To increase the volume of water transiting in Eastmain 1 (EM 1), the Rupert River was diverted. Partial flooding of the Rupert diversion bays (RD) took place in 2009 and the flooding was completed in 2011. CO2 and CH4 partial pressures and emissions were monitored for 7 years on the reservoir and bays.
