Peat extraction companies have learned a lot about how to restore these vital ecosystems. But slow growth, climate change, and complexity mean conservation is an important strategy as well. Over the...
The Vegetation of Fens in Relation to Their Hydrology and Nutrient Dynamics: A Case Study
Resource
Species-rich quaking fens have become rare in Western Europe. In Great Britain, Germany and The Netherlands they have been drained and turned into agricultural land. In The Netherlands small fens have...
Using LiDAR, Colour Infrared Imagery, and Ground Truth Data for Mapping and Characterizing Vegetation Succession on Disturbance Types: Implications for Woodland Caribou (Rangifer tarandus caribou) Habitat Management
Resource
Woodland caribou (Rangifer tarandus caribou) occur throughout Canada’s boreal forest and have been declining both in distribution and population size along the southern extent of their range...
Vegetation Recovery on Low Impact Seismic Lines in Alberta's Oil Sands and Visual Obstruction of Wolves (Canis lupus) and Woodland Caribou (Rangifer tarandus caribou)
Resource
Low-Impact Seismic (LIS) exploration techniques are being increasingly used in northeastern Alberta, Canada to explore for in-situ oil sands deposits. These narrow (2-4-m wide), meandering man-made...
Wetland Functioning in Relation to Biodiversity Conservation and Restoration
