The installation of drainage ditches and removal of vegetation in preparation for vacuum harvesting alters the carbon dynamics of peatlands. However, we lack the measurements to understand the spatial...

The work of beavers supports watershed and ecological health across the landscape. Many of the benefits beavers provide directly benefit humans: attenuate flood peaks, store water during droughts...

The 2024 issue of The Edge summarizes the following key findings: Plan A better understanding of passive recovery trajectories will help guide restoration planning LiDAR is a powerful planning tool...

The hydroperiod (i.e., the length of time ponded water is present) of prairie potholes is sensitive to climate change. Because snowmelt runoff is the largest contributor to ponded water amounts, a...

Aquatic invertebrates, often overlooked but essential components of aquatic ecosystems, offer valuable insights into the health and intactness of our waters. In this presentation, we embark on a...

Linear disturbances such as powerline rights of way, seismic lines and roads are common in areas of intensive resource development. Roads that bisect wetlands can alter their hydrologic connectivity...

Video series from Ducks Unlimited Canada, discussing the fascinating and ecologically important dynamics of carbon in Canada’s peatlands, and our role in maintaining these crucial ecotypes. Part 1...

A resource to improve understanding of wetlands in the Bow River region to promote conservation through protection and restoration. Wetlands are natural assets that have a vital role in climate change...
