ABMI's new Alberta-wide Wetland Inventory: how it was generated, R&D to improve wetland mapping/monitoring data, and how this tool can be used in land-use decision making

Final recommendations to the development of a wetland monitoring program for the Oil Sands region of Alberta.

The key outcome of the workshop was the creation of a vision statement to guide leadership and action for an optimal provincial scale wetland inventory.

Our results indicate water depth, surrounding agriculture footprint, and amount of precipitation received all significantly influence the water quality of prairie wetlands in Alberta.

This chapter describes aquatic elements and sampling protocols that could be used to monitor forested stream ecosystems in Alberta and Saskatchewan

This article outlines the results of monitoring two restored oil sands exploration sites, and discusses the effectiveness of treatments on tree recovery and greenhouse gas emissions.

Developed two wetland inventory style products for a large (397,958 km2) area in the Boreal Forest region of Alberta, Canada, using Sentinel-1, Sentinel-2, and ALOS DEM data

The resulting peatland occurrence model shows an accuracy of 87% compared to our validation data set. Differentiating peatlands from mineral wetlands achieved an accuracy of 69%.

The model documentation summarizes the data, variables and assumptions required to capture how water purification services are provided across landscapes in Alberta

The Canadian boreal zone provides ecosystem services from local to global scales. Either directly or indirectly, demands for these services have and will continue to serve as drivers of change in the...
