Lichens: A Limit to Peat Growth?
Resource
The fruticose lichens Cladina stellaris and Cladina rangiferina, form thick mats that can cover large areas of northern peatlands (above c. 50° latitude), including the extensive peatlands of the...

Linear Disturbances Shift Boreal Peatland Plant Communities Toward Earlier Peak Greenness
Resource
Vast areas of boreal peatlands are impacted by linear disturbances known as seismic lines. Tree removal and ground disturbance alter vegetation communities and are expected to change ecosystem...
Linear Feature Restoration in Boreal Wetlands
Resource
This presentation discusses linear feature disturbances or boreal peatlands and reclamation trials of various sites. Presented at the NAIT 7th Seminar on Linear Disturbance Impacts on Boreal Wetland...
Linking Fire, Food Webs, and Fish in Stream Ecosystems
Resource
As wildfire regimes shift, resource managers are concerned about potential threats to aquatic ecosystems and the species they support, especially fishes. However, predicting fish responses can be...

Organization
The National List of Plant Species that Occur in Wetlands has been in use since the 80's and has evolved in many ways. Lists originally generated for use in the United States have been adapted for use...
Litter Decomposition and Nutrient Dynamics of Four Macrophytes in Intact, Restored, and Constructed Freshwater Marshes of Canada
Resource
The restoration and construction of wetlands offer opportunities to rewet soils, inhibit decomposition, and enhance nutrient retention in decomposing litters. Here, we report the decomposition rates...
Local Hydroclimatic Influence on Black Spruce (Picea mariana (Mill.) B.S.P.) Anatomical Traits in Two Boreal Fen Peatlands
Resource
As global temperatures increase, ongoing research is essential in understanding the long-term effects of climate change on tree dominated wetlands. Acting as a significant landform in the boreal...
Long-Term Carbon Sequestration in Boreal Forested Peatlands in Eastern Canada
Resource
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...
Long-Term Periodic Management of Phragmites Australis Maintains Native Brackish Wetland Plant Communities
Resource
Complete eradication of invasive plants is often infeasible but in some cases it is possible to reduce the invader to low levels with reduced ongoing management costs, referred to as functional...
Long-term Response of Peatland Carbon Exchange to Climatic Changes in the Hudson Bay Lowlands
Resource
Northern peatlands have been a persistent net sink of atmospheric carbon (C) due to the greater rates of gross primary production (GPP) compared to ecosystem respiration (ER). Global warming has...
