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...
Cultural and Ecological Value of Boreal Woodland Caribou Habitat
Resource
This report provides a preliminary discussion of cultural and ecological values related to Canada's boreal woodland caribou, and provides references to existing methodologies for assessing these...
Early Successional Wildlife Monitoring on Reclamation Plots in the Athabasca Oil Sands Region
Resource
Pilot study to assess the use of early successional stands (i.e. those ranging in age from 4 to 17 years) by wildlife (songbirds, small mammals, and ungulates), using a wildlife monitoring protocol
Madziih (caribou) Tsáá? ché ne dane - Traditional Knowledge and Restoration Study
Resource
The Doig River First Nation (DRFN) has prepared this madziih Traditional Knowledge and Restoration Study based on DRFN traditional ecological knowledge (TEK), as a step towards reclaiming this...
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...
Peatland Restoration Pathways to Mitigate Greenhouse Gas Emissions and Retain Peat Carbon
Resource
Peatlands play a crucial role in the global carbon (C) cycle, making their restoration a key strategy for mitigating greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and retaining C. This study analyses the most common...
Reclamation Monitoring in the Athabasca Oil Sands Region of Canada Using a Long-term Plot Network
Resource
A long-term plot network would allow the monitoring data to describe the ecological condition of the reclaimed lands and define appropriate management strategies for achieving revegetation goals
Research Related to Boreal Caribou Habitat Restoration Economics in British Columbia
Resource
An independent full-cost-benefit accounting and economic analysis of woodland caribou habitat restoration in northeastern British Columbia.
Room for Both: Realizing a Future with Sustainable Economies and Healthy Caribou Populations
Resource
In this report, the David Suzuki Foundation highlights opportunities for caribou conservation that have not been realized due to the political climate and the propagation of the much-exaggerated jobs...
Satellite Determination of Peatland Water Table Temporal Dynamics by Localizing Representative Pixels of A SWIR-Based Moisture Index
Resource
The OPtical TRApezoid Model (OPTRAM) is a physically-based approach for remote soil moisture estimation. OPTRAM is based on the response of short-wave infrared (SWIR) reflectance to vegetation water...
The State of the Forest in Canada: Seeing Through The Spin
Resource
This report takes stock of the best available science and knowledge to highlight impacts, metrics, and indicators that the federal government and industry partners hope to minimize or dismiss. It...
The Third Generation of Pan-Canadian Wetland Map at 10 m Resolution Using Multisource Earth Observation Data on Cloud Computing Platform
Resource
Development of the Canadian Wetland Inventory Map (CWIM) has thus far proceeded over two generations, reporting the extent and location of bog, fen, swamp, marsh, and water wetlands across the country...
Wildlife Usage Indicates Increased Similarity Between Reclaimed Upland Habitat and Mature Boreal Forest in the Athabasca Oil Sands Region of Alberta, Canada
Resource
Degree of similarity suggests that comparable ecological functionality is possible, increasing probability that oil sands operators will fulfill their regulatory requirement reclaim wildlife habitat
