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...
Appendix 3 ALCES III® Scenario Modeling Report - Athabasca Landscape Area
Resource
In order to evaluate management options that may recover and sustain boreal caribou in the Athabasca Landscape area, the ALT developed scenarios and used simulation modeling to compare and evaluate...
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...

Decreased Carbon Accumulation Feedback Driven by Climate‐Induced Drying of Two Southern Boreal Bogs over Recent Centuries
Resource
This resource is available on an external database and may require a paid subscription to access it. It is included on the CCLM to support our goal of capturing and sharing the breadth of all...
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...
Modeling Cumulative Effects of Climate and Development on Moose, Wolf, and Caribou Populations
Resource
This article explores the results of an integrated landscape and population simulation model which accounts for key ecological components and relationships among moose, grey wolves, and woodland...
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...
Peatland Restoration Increases Water Storage and Attenuates Downstream Stormflow but Does Not Guarantee an Immediate Reversal of Long-term Ecohydrological Degradation
Resource
Peatland restoration is experiencing a global upsurge as a tool to protect and provide various ecosystem services. As the range of peatland types being restored diversifies, do previous findings...
Planning for Minimizing Impacts to Peatlands
Resource
This presentation covers various best practices and new techniques that can be implemented in the planning, construction and reclamation stages of in-situ oil sands operations.
Potential for Using Remote Sensing to Estimate Carbon Fluxes Across Northern Peatlands – A Review
Resource
Peatlands store large amounts of terrestrial carbon and any changes to their carbon balance could cause large changes in the greenhouse gas (GHG) balance of the Earth's atmosphere. There is still much...
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...
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...
Video - Sustainability Approaches to Land Use Planning - Adoption of Triple Bottom Line Indicators
Resource
Dr. Brad Stelfox, from ALCES, did a presentation for the Town of Okotoks about Sustainability Approaches to Land Use Planning - Adoption of Triple Bottom Line Indicators. The presentation focussed on...
