A Strong Mitigation Scenario Maintains Climate Neutrality of Northern Peatlands
Resource
Northern peatlands store 300–600 Pg C, of which approximately half are underlain by permafrost. Climate warming and, in some regions, soil drying from enhanced evaporation are progressively...
AB Beaver BMP Engagement Webinar
Event
Organization
As part of our ongoing commitment to exploring innovative approaches to coexisting with beavers while promoting ecosystem health and resilience, we are excited to invite you to an upcoming webinar...
Alberta Beaver Beneficial Management Practices
Resource
The work of beavers supports watershed and ecological health across the landscape. Many of the benefits beavers provide directly benefit humans: attenuate flood peaks, store water during droughts...

Increasing Contributions of Peatlands to Boreal Evapotranspiration in a Warming Climate
Resource
The response of evapotranspiration (ET) to warming is of critical importance to the water and carbon cycle of the boreal biome, a mosaic of land cover types dominated by forests and peatlands. The...
Map of Beaver Coexistence Tools
Resource
Beavers, Canada's national animal, provide many valuable ecosystem services including storage of water during droughts and flooding, creation of habitat for a variety of species, and improvement of...
Methane Producing and Oxidizing Microorganisms Display a High Resilience to Drought in a Swedish Hemi-Boreal Mire
Resource
An increased frequency of droughts due to anthropogenic climate change can lead to considerable stress for soil microorganisms and their functioning within northern peatlands. A better understanding...
Responses to Projected Changes in Climate and UV-B at the Species Level
Project
Organization:
This project is part of an holistic approach to assess impacts of climate change on Arctic terrestrial ecosystems. It focuses on current, short-term phenotypic, and longer-term genetic responses of...
Responses to Projected Changes in Climate and UV-B at the Species Level
Resource
Environmental manipulation experiments showed that species respond individualistically to each environmental-change variable. The greatest responses of plants were generally to nutrient, particularly...

About this Event Riparian areas - those wet areas around water bodies - are often overlooked and underrated. Yet with proper design and management, they can become the most productive parts of the...
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 Boreal-Arctic Wetland and Lake Dataset
Resource
Here we present the Boreal–Arctic Wetland and Lake Dataset (BAWLD), a land cover dataset based on an expert assessment, extrapolated using random forest modelling from available spatial datasets of...
The Decreasing Availability of Reindeer Forage in Boreal Forests During Snow Cover Periods: A Sámi Pastoral Landscape Perspective in Sweden
Resource
This paper argues that Sámi reindeer pastoralism in Sweden is highly stressed during the critical snow cover periods due to large-scale human interventions, especially forestry, and that these have...
