Spatial and Temporal Variation in Forest Transpiration Across a Forested Boreal Peatland Complex
Resource
Transpiration is a globally important component of evapotranspiration. Careful upscaling of transpiration from point measurements is thus crucial for quantifying water and energy fluxes. In spatially...
Temperature, Moisture and Freeze–thaw Controls on CO2 Production in Soil Incubations From Northern Peatlands
Resource
Peat accumulation in high latitude wetlands represents a natural long-term carbon sink, resulting from the cumulative excess of growing season net ecosystem production over non-growing season (NGS)...
The Alberta Oil Sands
Resource
Overview of the oil sands, current commercial developments, experimental work, an overview of Fort McMurray and the role of government agencies in development and management of oil sands.
The Biophysical Climate Mitigation Potential of Boreal Peatlands During the Growing Season
Resource
Peatlands and forests cover large areas of the boreal biome and are critical for global climate regulation. They also regulate regional climate through heat and water vapour exchange with the...
The Hydrology of Interconnected Bog Complexes in Discontinuous Permafrost Terrains
Resource
In the zone of discontinuous permafrost, the cycling and storage of water within and between wetlands is poorly understood. The presence of intermittent permafrost bodies tends to impede and re-direct...
The Influence of Postfire Recovery and Environmental Conditions on Boreal Vegetation
Resource
Climate change is increasing the frequency and extent of fires in the boreal biome of North America. These changes can alter the recovery of both canopy and understory vegetation. There is uncertainty...
Transplanting lichen to grow food for threatened caribou
News
Researchers are exploring the transplanting of lichen as a potential tool for caribou habitat restoration. Natural disturbance, resource development, and land-use changes have resulted in a reduced...
Unexpected Greening in a Boreal Permafrost Peatland Undergoing Forest Loss is Partially Attributable to Tree Species Turnover
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...
Video - Surficial geology mapping in northern Alberta using LiDAR
Resource
This presentation describes the ways that LiDAR has helped some of the challenges previously encountered in data collection for the surficial geology mapping program.
Video - The Chase Caribou Road Restoration Program
Resource
Caribou face enormous pressures from predators due to habitat alteration. We can reduce that pressure by implementing restoration measures to roads and other habitat features. Chu Cho Environmental...
Water for the Futures We Want - Opportunities for Research, Practice, and Leadership in Achieving SDG 6
Resource
Canada and the world are faced with unprecedented water-related challenges which impact our ability to meet many of the UN sustainable development goals. Climate warming and human actions are altering...

Webinar - Forecasting Climate-sensitive Landscape Change Reveals Habitat Shifts and Population Uncertainty for Northern Boreal Caribou
Resource
Climate-induced northern forest change may be severe, altering resources for boreal caribou. Mitigating the conservation challenges associated with caribou could be dampened through forecasts of...
Where Will Northern Boreal Caribou Live as the Climate Changes?
Resource
The information in this infographic is based on an academic paper, Climate-informed forecasts reveal dramatic local habitat shifts and population uncertainty for northern boreal caribou.
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...

Will this Umbrella Leak? A Caribou Umbrella Index for Boreal Landbird Conservation
Resource
Conservation approaches that efficiently protect multiple values, such as the umbrella species concept, have been widely promoted with expected dramatic ecosystem changes. Due to its social and...
