Campaign launched to protect nearly 1,500 square kilometres of boreal forest
News
Organization
The Nature Conservancy of Canada has recently launched the largest single private conservation project in Canadian history. The Boreal Wildlands Project aims to protect nearly 1,500 square kilometres...
Challenges in Co-operative Reclamation Research
Resource
There may be different interpretations of cooperative reclamation research, so it is appropriate to explain how the term will be used in subsequent discussions. The basic concept is to broaden the...
Conservation Close to Home - Story Map
Resource
Conservation Assessment for Southern Canada The Nature Conservancy of Canada (NCC) has completed a comprehensive assessment of the conservation needs and opportunities in southern Canada. The first of...
Conservation through Co-occurrence: Woodland Caribou as a Focal Species for Boreal Biodiversity
Resource
Assessment of the focal/umbrella value of boreal caribou for conservation of mammalian and avian richness, based on evaluation of co-occurrence and conducting systematic conservation planning.
Decreased Carbon Accumulation Feedback Driven by Climate‐Induced Drying of Two Southern Boreal Bogs over Recent Centuries

Increasing Contributions of Peatlands to Boreal Evapotranspiration in a Warming Climate
Resource
The response of evapotranspiration (ET) to warming is of critical importance to the water and carbon cycle of the boreal biome, a mosaic of land cover types dominated by forests and peatlands. The...
Land Use Planning: Global Land Outlook Working Paper
Resource
This brief presents evidence of land use planning, spatial planning, territorial (or regional) planning, and ecosystem-based or environmental land use planning as tools that can strengthen land governance, improve economic opportunities based on sustainable management of land resources, and develop land use options that reconcile conservation and development objectives.

What is a wetland? Do you know how to spot one? Did you know that the health of wetlands and grasslands are connected? Wetlands aren’t simply beautiful features of a landscape; they are important to...
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...
Restoration of Linear Disturbances From Oil-and-gas Exploration in Boreal Landscapes: How can Network Models Help?
Resource
Abstract In western Canada, decades of oil-and-gas exploration have fragmented boreal landscapes with a dense network of linear forest disturbances (seismic lines). These seismic lines are implicated...
