Modeling Framework for Representing Long-Term Effectiveness of Best Management Practices in Addressing Hydrology and Water Quality Problems: Framework Development and Demonstration using a Bayesian Method
Resource
Best management practices (BMPs) are popular approaches used to improve hydrology and water quality. Uncertainties in BMP effectiveness over time may result in overestimating long-term efficiency in...
The Feasibility of Mechanical Compression to Reduce the Capillary Barrier Effect, and Increase CO2 Sequestration in a Restored Cutover Peatland
Resource
Ten years after restoration was implemented at the Bois-des-Bel peatland (BdB) in Quebec, there was limited hydrological connectivity between the regenerated Sphagnum moss and the remnant cutover peat...
Wildfire as a Major Driver of Recent Permafrost Thaw in Boreal Peatlands
Resource
Permafrost vulnerability to climate change may be underestimated unless effects of wildfire are considered. Here we assess impacts of wildfire on soil thermal regime and rate of thermokarst bog...
Fire Temperatures and Sphagnum Damage during Prescribed Burning on Peatlands
Resource
Prescribed burning affects plant community composition including the abundance of peat-forming Sphagnum mosses. Understanding the processes by which fire impacts occur and the variability of impacts...
Spatial Variability and Controls on Surface Water Chemistry and Quality in a Landscape: the Western Boreal Forest
Resource
Shallow lakes are highly abundant in the Canadian Western Boreal Forest (WBF) and provide essential ecosystem functions, water resources, sources of biodiversity and anthropogenic values. Increasing...
Utilizing a Topographic Moisture Index to Characterize Understory Vegetation Patterns in the Boreal Forest
Resource
For the purpose of informing biodiversity conservation efforts in managed landscapes, we explored whether and how understory plant communities (abundance, diversity, composition) were related to a...
A Regional-Scale Index for Assessing the Exposure of Drinking-Water Sources to Wildfires
Resource
Recent human-interface wildfires around the world have raised concerns regarding the reliability of freshwater supply flowing from severely burned watersheds. Degraded source water quality can often...
Estimate of the Maximum Probable Precipitation for Alberta River Basins
Resource
Point measurements of maximum depth showed that over 50% of the rainstorms occur in June and July, with only a small percentage in April (5.6) and September (10. 1).
