Erasing Anthropogenic Disturbance: Natural Revegetation of Linear Features Following Wildfire, and the Implications for Woodland Caribou (Rangifer tarandus caribou) Habitat Management
Resource
The federal recovery strategy for woodland caribou identifies wildfires within the last 40 years and anthropogenic disturbance visible at a scale of 1:50,000, including a 500-m buffer, as disturbed...
Groundwater in Peat and Peatlands
Resource
Peatlands are wetlands with soil comprised of undecomposed remains of plants that accumulate in such a way that both responds to and controls the flux and storage of surface water and groundwater, as...
Peat Swamp Hydrological Connectivity and Runoff Vary by Hydrogeomorphic Setting: Implications for Carbon Storage
Resource
Despite their importance in carbon cycling and catchment runoff dynamics, the hydrology of temperate peat swamps in response to changing hydrometeorological conditions is largely understudied. We...
Pollution timebombs: Contaminated wetlands are ticking towards ignition
News
Organization
Wetlands across the globe have long served as natural repositories for humanity’s toxic legacy, absorbing and retaining hundreds to thousands of years’ worth of pollution. These swampy vaults 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...
