Peatlands store approximately one third of the global soil carbon pool, and Canada contains about 170 million hectares of peatlands. Oil and gas exploration often disturbs peatlands through the creation of seismic lines, linear clearings that span millions of kilometers across western Canada, including northeastern British Columbia. The removal of overstory trees, soil disturbance, and altered hydrological conditions along seismic lines can reduce a peatland’s capacity to store carbon. Historically, seismic line restoration focused primarily on prey–predator relationships, as these disturbances are linked to declining woodland caribou populations. More recently, restoration efforts have increasingly emphasized the recovery of peatland carbon storage and cycling. Seismic lines can be restored through active treatments such as inline mounding and hummock transfer, which create drier microsites suitable for tree establishment; however, their effects on peatland carbon dynamics remain uncertain. The objectives of this study were to (1) assess the effects of different restoration techniques on carbon cycling and greenhouse gas exchange along peatland seismic lines and (2) evaluate the influence of restoration timing (fall versus winter) on carbon cycling and sequestration. This study was conducted in collaboration with Fort Nelson First Nation in bogs in northeastern British Columbia. Preliminary results show that net ecosystem exchange of CO₂ indicates carbon release following restoration regardless of technique, with both treatments trending toward carbon uptake over time. These findings will help inform industry and government decisions regarding effective restoration strategies for recovering peatland carbon dynamics.
