A Regional-Scale Index for Assessing the Exposure of Drinking-Water Sources to Wildfires
Resource
Recent human-interface wildfires around the world have raised concerns regarding the reliability of freshwater supply flowing from severely burned watersheds. Degraded source water quality can often...
Local Hydroclimatic Influence on Black Spruce (Picea mariana (Mill.) B.S.P.) Anatomical Traits in Two Boreal Fen Peatlands
Resource
As global temperatures increase, ongoing research is essential in understanding the long-term effects of climate change on tree dominated wetlands. Acting as a significant landform in the boreal...
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...
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...
Video - Where Do You Look for Evidence of Fires From Thousands of Years Ago?
Resource
This presentation describes how coring lake sediments gives us information on fire history, providing data on fire frequency, severity and what actually burned.
