Sediment cores were collected under ice-cover in late winter from three wetlands located along a subsurface hydrologic gradient within the Prairie Pothole Region of North America. Within each core, sediment porewaters were analyzed by in situ voltammetry for a suite of redox active species as a func...

Sediment cores were collected under ice-cover in late winter from three wetlands located along a subsurface hydrologic gradient within the Prairie Pothole Region of North America.
