Establishment of Native Boreal Plant Species on Reclaimed Oil Sands Mining Disturbances
Resource
Current revegetation strategies for disturbed oil sands sites include values such as biodiversity and sustainability. As a result, a wide range of species are sought for inclusion in revegetation...
Field Emergence of Native Boreal Forest Species on Reclaimed Sites in Northeastern Alberta
Resource
This study evaluated the effect of sowing season (spring versus fall) and propagule type (clean seeds versus whole fruit) on emergence of 41 species on oil sands mine reclamation sites.
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...
Large Stocks of Peatland Carbon and Nitrogen are Vulnerable to Permafrost Thaw
Resource
Northern peatlands have accumulated large stocks of organic carbon (C) and nitrogen (N), but their spatial distribution and vulnerability to climate warming remain uncertain. Here, we used machine...
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...
Tundra Game Drives: An Arctic-Alpine Comparison
Resource
Stone fences and blinds built by prehistoric hunters to gather and ambush elk and bighorn sheep above timberline in the Colorado Front Range are similar in concept and function to structures built by...
