Global Peatlands Assessment: The State of the World’s Peatlands
Resource
Peatlands are unique and rare ecosystems that, despite only covering around 3-4% of the planet’s land surface, they contain up to one-third of the world’s soil carbon, which is twice the amount of...
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.

Ontario Species at Risk Evaluation Report for Caribou, Boreal Population (Rangifer tarandus)
Resource
Two Caribou ( Rangifer tarandus) ecotypes occur in Ontario - the forest-dwelling or boreal population, and the forest-tundra or migratory population. In Ontario the “Woodland Caribou, forest-dwelling...

The Biophysical Climate Mitigation Potential of Boreal Peatlands During the Growing Season
Resource
Peatlands and forests cover large areas of the boreal biome and are critical for global climate regulation. They also regulate regional climate through heat and water vapour exchange with the...

Organization
Despite on-going efforts, biodiversity is deteriorating worldwide and this decline is projected to worsen with business-as-usual scenarios. The UN Biodiversity Conference will convene governments from...
Variation in Photosynthetic Properties Among Bog Plants
Resource
Plant functional types (PFTs) are used to make generalizations in modeling how plants impact ecosystem functioning. In boreal bogs the number of plant species is small, but several PFTs are...
