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...
Biogeochemical Response to Vegetation and Hydrologic Change in an Alaskan Boreal Fen Ecosystem
Resource
Boreal peatlands store approximately one third of the earth’s terrestrial carbon, locked away in currently waterlogged and frozen conditions. Peatlands of boreal and arctic ecosystems are affected...
COSIA In-Situ Oil Sands Shared Practices for Working in and Around Wetlands
Resource
This report compiles a toolbox of shared practices currently in use by COSIA companies, or which have been used but were found to be unsuccessful.
International Congress for Conservation Biology
Event
Event Date and Time
December 13th, 2021 at 12:00am to December 14th, 2021 at 11:59pm
Organization
SCB's 30th International Congress for Conservation Biology (ICCB 2021) will take place virtually this 13-17 December. Pre-congress sessions (i.e. training courses, workshops, roundtables) will be held...
Less Flammable Vegetation for Linear Industry Rights-‐of-‐way
Resource
FPInnovations launched a multi-year study to determine whether a less-flammable, herbaceous species could replace the flammable grasses that typically colonize linear ROWs
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...
Peat Loss Collocates with a Threshold in Plant–Mycorrhizal Associations in Drained Peatlands Encroached by Trees
Resource
Drainage-induced encroachment by trees may have major effects on the carbon balance of northern peatlands, and responses of microbial communities are likely to play a central mechanistic role. We...
Resource Roads and Wetlands: A Guide for Planning, Construction, and Maintenance
Resource
This guide contains best management practices that help plan, construct and maintain resource roads in forested environments in order to maintain the movement of water in wetlands.
Resource Roads and Wetlands: Practical Applications to Maintain Hydrologic Connectivity
Resource
This presentation highlights planning and operations applications of water management techniques for resource roads crossing wetlands.
The Effects of Black Spruce Fuel Management on Surface Fuel Condition and Peat Burn Severity in an Experimental Fire
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...
The Third Generation of Pan-Canadian Wetland Map at 10 m Resolution Using Multisource Earth Observation Data on Cloud Computing Platform
Resource
Development of the Canadian Wetland Inventory Map (CWIM) has thus far proceeded over two generations, reporting the extent and location of bog, fen, swamp, marsh, and water wetlands across the country...
Video - Resource Roads and Wetlands: Road Construction Considerations
Resource
Canada’s forested landscapes feature numerous wetlands, such as fens, bogs and swamps, which present environmental and operational challenges during the planning, construction and maintenance of...
Video - Where Do You Look for Evidence of Fires From Thousands of Years Ago?
Resource
This presentation describes how coring lake sediments gives us information on fire history, providing data on fire frequency, severity and what actually burned.
