A Tale of Two Roads: Consequences of Peat Conditions and Construction Practices on Peatland Effects, Reclaimability, and Best Practice Development
Resource
This talk explores what needs to inform road construction decisions, including evaluating where roads should be built and what practices should be used based on peat conditions.
Best Practices and Resources on Climate Resilient Natural Infrastructure
Resource
Best practices and resources on climate resilient natural infrastructure.
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...

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...
Planning for Wetland Function and Reclamation Success in Road Design
Resource
This research poster describes an overview of technical methods, peat properties and considerations, and development outcomes for linear feature (road) construction planning and development. Presented...
Spatial Variation in Nutrient Dynamics Among Five Different Peatland Types in the Alberta Oil Sands Region
Resource
Wetlands are found extensively throughout the Western Boreal Plain, a region under pressure because of disturbance by the oil and gas industries. To understand how wetland systems may respond to...
The Third Generation of Pan-Canadian Wetland Map at 10 m Resolution Using Multisource Earth Observation Data on Cloud Computing Platform
