BERA News Fall 2022
Resource
Understanding how birds respond to landscape disturbance is key to effective restoration. Two studies used non-invasive microphone arrays to determine the exact locations of singing individuals in the...
BERA News Spring 2022
Resource
Mounding is a common restoration technique designed to improve microsite conditions for planted seedlings in wetlands. There are a variety of strategies for constructing mounds, though, and how mounds...
Intra- and Interspecific Variation in Spectral Properties of Dominant Sphagnum Moss Species in Boreal Peatlands
Resource
Boreal peatlands store ~25 % of global soil organic carbon and host many endangered species; however, they face degradation due to climate change and anthropogenic drainage. In boreal peatlands...
Large Stocks of Peatland Carbon and Nitrogen are Vulnerable to Permafrost Thaw
Resource
Northern peatlands have accumulated large stocks of organic carbon (C) and nitrogen (N), but their spatial distribution and vulnerability to climate warming remain uncertain. Here, we used machine...
Recent Climate Change has Driven Divergent Hydrological Shifts in High-latitude Peatlands
Resource
High-latitude peatlands are changing rapidly in response to climate change, including permafrost thaw. Here, we reconstruct hydrological conditions since the seventeenth century using testate amoeba...
The Boreal Ecosystem Recovery and Assessment (BERA)
Project
Organization:
The boreal region of Alberta contains extensive disturbances from natural resource extraction. Roads, well pads, seismic lines (petroleum-exploration corridors), forest-harvest areas, and other...
The Edge 2022 (BERA Systhesis)
Resource
The central goal of the Boreal Ecosystem Recovery and Assessment (BERA) program is to understand the effects of industrial disturbance on natural ecosystem dynamics, and to develop strategies for...
The Edge: The BERA Program 2024 Synthesis Report
Resource
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...
