'Arctic Crashes:' Revisiting the Human-Animal Disequilibrium Model in a Time of Rapid Change
Resource
Abstract The paper introduces a new vision advanced by the recent project, Arctic People and Animal Crashes: Human, Climate and Habitat Agency in the Anthropocene (2014–2015) developed at the...
'Arctic Crashes:' Revisiting the Human-Animal Disequilibrium Model in a Time of Rapid Change
Project
Organization:
This study examined data on the status of three northern mammal species – caribou/reindeer, Pacific walrus, and polar bear—during two decades of the ongoing Arctic warming. The emerging record may be...
Carbon Stocks and Fluxes From a Boreal Conifer Swamp: Filling a Knowledge Gap for Understanding the Boreal C Cycle
Resource
The carbon (C) dynamics of boreal coniferous swamps are a largely understudied component of wetland carbon cycling. We investigated the above- and below-ground carbon stocks and growing season carbon...
Ecohydrological Interactions in a Boreal Fen–swamp Complex, Alberta, Canada
Resource
This resource is available on an external database and may require a paid subscription to access it. It is included on the CCLM to support our goal of capturing and sharing the breadth of all...
Near-surface Controls on Peatland Hydrology: Implications for Rapid Disturbance Adaptation and Enhanced Resilience to Disturbance
Resource
Northern peatlands faced compounding disturbances that transformed such critical ecosystems from long-term carbon sinks into carbon sources. Considerable investment is therefore directed for restoring...
Response of CO2 and CH4 Emissions from Arctic Tundra Soils to a Fultifactorial Manipulation of Water Table, Temperature, and Thaw Depth
Resource
Significant uncertainties persist concerning how Arctic soil tundra carbon emission responds to environmental changes. In this study, 24 cores were sampled from drier (high centre polygons and rims)...
The Potential of Peatlands as Nature-based Climate Solutions
Resource
This resource is available on an external database and may require a paid subscription to access it. It is included on the CCLM to support our goal of capturing and sharing the breadth of all...
The Unrecognized Importance of Carbon Stocks and Fluxes from Swamps in Canada and the USA
Resource
Swamps are a highly significant wetland type in North America both in terms of areal extent and their role in terrestrial carbon cycling. These wetlands, characterized by woody vegetation cover...
Webinar - No Longer just the Swamp of Sadness: An Insight into the Value of Forested Ecosystems (swamps) as Natural Climate Solutions
Resource
Presented by Dr Scott J Davidson, Lecturer in Ecosystem Resilience, University of Plymouth Swamps are a highly significant wetland type in North America both in terms of areal extent and their role in...
Wildfire and Degradation Accelerate Northern Peatland Carbon Release
Resource
The northern peatland carbon sink plays a vital role in climate regulation; however, the future of the carbon sink is uncertain, in part, due to the changing interactions of peatlands and wildfire...
