Large Stocks of Peatland Carbon and Nitrogen are Vulnerable to Permafrost Thaw
Resource
Northern peatlands have accumulated large stocks of organic carbon (C) and nitrogen (N), but their spatial distribution and vulnerability to climate warming remain uncertain. Here, we used machine...
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...
Revealing the Hidden Carbon in Forested Wetland Soils
Resource
Inland wetlands are critical carbon reservoirs storing 30% of global soil organic carbon (SOC) within 6% of the land surface. However, forested regions contain SOC-rich wetlands that are not included...
Survivability and Growth of Winter-Planted Black Spruce (Picea mariana [Mill.] B.S.P.) Seedlings on a Boreal Fen in Northwestern Alberta, Canada
Resource
Winter planting of frozen black spruce seedlings was studied in a northern Alberta wetland supported by the Oil Sand Leadership Initiative (OSLI) Land Stewardship Working Group, comprised of...
Towards an Eco-Asset Strategy in the Town of Gibsons: Nature Plays and Integral Part in a Municipal Infrastructure System
Resource
Improving the management of Canada’s infrastructure and other assets is a vital, yet complex, challenge.
Using Perceptions as Evidence to Improve Conservation and Environmental Management
Resource
The conservation community is increasingly focusing on the monitoring and evaluation of management, governance, ecological, and social considerations as part of a broader move toward adaptive...
