Peat extraction substantially alters a peatland’s surface-atmosphere exchange of carbon (C). The sites are drained, their vegetation is removed, and then the peat is vacuum harvested for use as a...

Global resource development has resulted in numerous disturbances that have a myriad of consequences on peatlands. We examined edge effects from one such linear disturbance, seismic lines, on plant...

Linear disturbances within boreal Canada (e.g. seismic lines) can significantly disrupt carbon cycling in northern peatlands, potentially transforming these significant carbon stocks from long-term...

Tens of thousands of oil and gas well pads have been constructed in peatlands on the North American Western Boreal Plain. The introduction of true mosses directly onto residual mineral substrates left...

Trails and tracks are the detectable signs of passage of wildlife and off-highway vehicles in natural landscapes. They record valuable information on the presence and movement of animals and humans...

This resource is available on an external database and may require a paid subscription to access it. It is included on the CCLM to support our goal of capturing and sharing the breadth of all...

Research scientist Jaime Pinzon is looking into how a technique called soil mounding might help reforest areas that have been disturbed by the construction of seismic lines used for oil and gas...

Wetlands are an integral part of Alberta’s landscape and provide a critical role in maintaining healthy watersheds, providing habitat for waterfowl and other wildlife, maintaining upland forests, and...
