| Summary, etc | A palaeoecological study of a subarctic minerotrophic peatland was undertaken to reconstruct the formation of the site as an archive of slope geomorphological processes. The study peatland is located about 400 m from Caribou slope (unofficial name) on Lepage Island, Lac Wiyâshâkimî, Nunavik (northern Québec, Canada). The site is close to the lakeshore and receives runoff directly from Caribou slope and its catchment. Gravity processes have been active on Caribou slope since the deglaciation of the region at approximately 6000 cal. yr BP. These processes may be differentiated in terms of Holocene stages of intensity. The objective of our study was to detect evidence of gravity processes in the peatland and to note their frequency since its establishment using loss-on-ignition testing, macrofossil analysis and radiocarbon dating. Our results indicate that peat began to accumulate over the sandy-gravelly sediments at around 4900 cal. yr BP. Larix Laricina, Carex aquatilis and Carex rostrata were present at this time until 4660 cal. yr BP, at which point these taxa were replaced by aquatic taxa such as Hippuris vulgaris and Daphnia (aquatic invertebrates). The percentage of mineral sediments (sand) remained high during this period, which could be linked to slope activity. After 4660 cal. yr BP, sandy sediments diminished while episodes of aquatic conditions and sand inflow occurred on at least three occasions (at 4660, 3905 and 3130 cal. yr BP). The increase in water flow and the introduction of more medium to fine sand into the peatland could be linked to slope movements and the long-distance runout of debris flow that we observed in the field. Given these factors, conditions at the study site remained wet from the earliest phases until the present. Unlike the subarctic permafrost peatlands in northern Québec, permafrost did not become established at the study site. |
