The study looked at how two peatlands in Nunavut, Canada changed over thousands of years. They found that the peat started forming soon after the ice melted, and the plants in the peat changed as the climate cooled. The peat grew slower in recent times compared to the past. The changes in the peatlands were influenced by both the local environment and the overall climate.
