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...
Learning from our Elders - Northern Indigenous perspectives on climate and environmental change
Project
Contact
Organization:
Project Description: The project was a short-term research exchange between Indigenous communities and scholars in Canada and Sweden, comparing Elder's perspectives on changing environments and...
Learning from our Elders: Aboriginal Perspectives on Climate Change and Reindeer/Caribou Habitat in the Circumboreal Forest
Resource
Excerpt from resource description: The northernmost regions in the world are projected to suffer the most severe consequences of climate change. Natural resource-based communities and Indigenous...
Prompt Rewetting of Drained Peatlands Reduces Climate Warming Despite Methane Emissions
Resource
Peatlands are strategic areas for climate change mitigation because of their matchless carbon stocks. Drained peatlands release this carbon to the atmosphere as carbon dioxide (CO2). Peatland...
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 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...
