Community-Based Monitoring as the Practice of Indigenous Governance: A Case Study of Indigenous-led Water Quality Monitoring in the Yukon River Basin
Resource
Indigenous peoples are increasingly developing Community-Based Monitoring programs to protect the waters and lands within their territories in response to multiple ecological and political stressors...
Contrasting Dynamical Responses of Sympatric Caribou and Muskoxen to Winter Weather and Earlier Spring Green-up in the Arctic
Resource
Analyzed the population dynamics and offspring production of sympatric caribou and muskoxen in West Greenland over an 18-year period (2002–2019) during which the timing of spring green-up has advanced
Improving the Fire Weather Index System for Peatlands using Peat-Specific Hydrological Input Data
Resource
The Canadian Fire Weather Index (FWI) system, even though originally developed and calibrated for an upland Jack pine forest, is used globally to estimate fire danger for any fire environment. However...

Large Herbivores Facilitate the Persistence of Rare Taxa Under Tundra Warming
Resource
Ecological rarity, characterized by low abundance or limited distribution, is typical of most species, yet our understanding of what factors contribute to the persistence of rare species remains...
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...
Satellite Determination of Peatland Water Table Temporal Dynamics by Localizing Representative Pixels of A SWIR-Based Moisture Index
Resource
The OPtical TRApezoid Model (OPTRAM) is a physically-based approach for remote soil moisture estimation. OPTRAM is based on the response of short-wave infrared (SWIR) reflectance to vegetation water...
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...
