Agricultural Soil Quality Criteria for Canada
Resource
The concept of soil quality has evolved from an expression of productivity to an assessment of environmental sustainability. It now includes elements of health and time as well as biological...
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...
Control of Black Flies in the Athabasca River: Evaluation and Recommendations for Chemical Control of Simulium arcticum Malloch
Resource
Program to address the extensive problems of biting flies in agriculture and provide information for management of black flies that occur during development of resource and recreational industries
Control of Black Flies in the Athabasca River: Technical Document
Resource
This document contains 21 technical reports supporting the chemical control of S. arcticum in the Athabasca River program studies.
Digging Into Canadian Soils - An Introduction to Soil Science
Resource
Written entirely by members of the Canadian Society of Soil Science, "Digging into Canadian Soils: An Introduction to Soil Science" provides an introduction to the core disciplines of soil science...
Forage Quality of Seeded Native Grasses in the Fall Season on the Canadian Prairie Provinces
Resource
There is renewed interest in re-seeding native grasses in the prairie region of western Canada but there is limited information on their forage quality for fall grazing. We evaluated forage quality in...
Intentional Anthropogenic Additions to Soils: Pesticides
Resource
During the 1980's, environmental issues grew rapidly in importance, and more sophisticated modelling scenarios were developed as an aid in predicting the transport and persistence behaviour of...
Natural Climate Solutions for Canada
Resource
Alongside the steep reductions needed in fossil fuel emissions, natural climate solutions (NCS) represent readily deployable options that can contribute to Canada’s goals for emission reductions. We...

Paddle for Nature is an exciting, weekend-long opportunity for you to make time for nature! Grab whatever watercraft gets you outside (kayak, canoe or stand-up paddle board) and see how many hours of...
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...

Potential Utilization of Native Prairie Grasses from Western Canada as Ethanol Feedstock
Resource
The utilization of native grass species for potential biomass feedstocks of the emerging ethanol industry requires more information about their cellulose and hemicellulose concentration. Ten native...
Recent Climate Change has Driven Divergent Hydrological Shifts in High-latitude Peatlands
Resource
High-latitude peatlands are changing rapidly in response to climate change, including permafrost thaw. Here, we reconstruct hydrological conditions since the seventeenth century using testate amoeba...
Setting a Foundation for Indigenous Knowledge Systems-guided Boreal Caribou (tǫdzı) Conservation Planning in the Western Boreal Region of Canada: A Systematic Map Protocol
Resource
Abstract In recent years, researchers have increasingly recognized the need to bridge Western and Indigenous knowledge systems to strengthen research in wildlife conservation. Historically, this arena...
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...
