Consistent but Delayed Timing of Precipitation Affects Community Composition of Prairie Pothole Birds and Aquatic Macroinvertebrates, but not Wetland Plants
Resource
The hydroperiod (i.e., the length of time ponded water is present) of prairie potholes is sensitive to climate change. Because snowmelt runoff is the largest contributor to ponded water amounts, a...
Controls on Plot-Scale Growing Season CO2 and CH4 Fluxes in Restored Peatlands: Do They Differ From Unrestored and Natural Sites?
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...
Critical Remote Sensing Targets for Boreal Wetlands Research and Management
Resource
This presentation discusses remote sensing to assess groundwater, microtopogpraphy and above-ground biomass, as well as wetland management. Presented at the NAIT 7th Seminar on Linear Disturbance...
Defining Parasite Biodiversity at High Latitudes of North America: New Host and Geographic Records for Onchocerca Cervipedis (Nematoda: Onchocercidae) in Moose and Caribou
Resource
Onchocerca cervipedis is a filarioid nematode of cervids reported from Central America to boreal regions of North America. It is found primarily in subcutaneous tissues of the legs, and is more...
Detection of Coniferous Seedlings in UAV Imagery
Resource
Rapid assessment of forest regeneration using unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) is likely to decrease the cost of establishment surveys in a variety of resource industries. This research tests the...
Developing Allometric Equations for Estimating Shrub Biomass in a Boreal Fen
Resource
This study develops allometric equations for three dominant genera found in boreal fens: Alnus spp. (alder), Salix spp. (willow) and Betula pumila (bog birch).
Disconnectivity Matters: The Outsized Role of Small Ephemeral Wetlands in Landscape-scale Nutrient Retentions
Resource
Wetlands protect downstream waters by filtering excess nitrogen (N) generated from agricultural and urban activities. Small ephemeral wetlands, also known as geographically isolated wetlands (GIWs)...
Distribution and Abundance of Macrobenthos in the Athabasca River Near Fort McMurray
Resource
348 benthic macroinvertebrate samples collected at 16 sites along 85 km of the Athabasca River between Fort McMurray and the Ells River. total of 27229 specimens belonging to 68 taxonomic groups
Drivers, Pressures, and State Responses to Inform Long-term Oil Sands Wetland Monitoring Program Objectives
Resource
Boreal peatlands provide numerous ecosystem services ranging from carbon sequestration to the provisioning of habitat for species integral to Indigenous communities. In the Oil Sands Region of Alberta...

Ectomycorrhizae of Jack Pine and Green Alder: Assessment of the Need for Inoculation, Development of Inoculation Techniques and Outplanting Trials on Oil Sand Tailings
Resource
The overall objectives of these studies were to characterize the mycorrhizal status of jack pine and green alder which are prime candidates as reclamation species for oil sand tailings
Effect of Plant Functional Type on Methane Dynamics in a Restored Minerotrophic Peatland

Effects of Landscape Age and Salinity on Plant Community Composition and Productivity in Opportunistic and Constructed Wetlands in the Athabasca Oil Sands Region, Alberta
Resource
Wetlands comprise 65% of the Athabasca Oil Sands Region (AOSR) surface mineable area and thus support diverse flora (approximately 400 species in Alberta). Due to increased anthropogenic land...
Environmental and Management Drivers of Carbon Dioxide and Methane Emissions From Actively-Extracted Peatlands in Alberta, Canada
Resource
The installation of drainage ditches and removal of vegetation in preparation for vacuum harvesting alters the carbon dynamics of peatlands. However, we lack the measurements to understand the spatial...
Environmental Controls on Carbon Sequestration in a Saline, Boreal, Peat-Forming Wetland in the Athabasca Oil Sands Region
Resource
Saline boreal fens represent potential models for post-mining landscape reclamation in the Athabasca Oil Sands Region (AOSR) (Canada) where wetland construction is challenged by salinization. One of...
