Jason House described the inverse relationship of soil carbon in peat-mineral soil mix and water stress on lodgepole pine growth on reclaimed oilsands tailing sands.
At the 14th North American Caribou Workshop held in September 2012, Kyle Knopff presented research done researchers from the University of Alberta, University of Montana and Golder Associates Ltd.
This presentation covers effects of peatland fire on permafrost stability, consequences of permafrost thaw on greenhouse gas exchange, and opportunities to learn from natural disturbances.
Permafrost vulnerability to climate change may be underestimated unless effects of wildfire are considered. Here we assess impacts of wildfire on soil thermal regime and rate of thermokarst bog...
