Decreased Carbon Accumulation Feedback Driven by Climate‐Induced Drying of Two Southern Boreal Bogs over Recent Centuries
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...
Environmental Spaces for Palsas and Peat Plateaus are Disappearing at a Circumpolar Scale
Resource
The anthropogenic climate change threatens northern permafrost environments. This compromises the existence of permafrost landforms, such as palsas and peat plateaus, which have been assessed to be...
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...
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 Biophysical Climate Mitigation Potential of Boreal Peatlands During the Growing Season
Resource
Peatlands and forests cover large areas of the boreal biome and are critical for global climate regulation. They also regulate regional climate through heat and water vapour exchange with the...
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...
Video - A Comparison of Site Preparation Methods on Sub-surface Soil Resistance and Moisture on Reclaimed Industrial Sites in Northwestern Alberta
Resource
This presentation discusses a comparison of site preparation methods on sub-surface soil resistance and moisture on reclaimed industrial sites in northwestern Alberta.
Video - Biodiversity Management Frameworks for Alberta's Land Use Planning Regions
Resource
This presentation discusses Biodiversity Management Frameworks (BMFs), including indicators, triggers, monitoring and management response and reporting.
Video - Comparing Soil and Crop Management in Kazakhstan and Alberta
Resource
Dr. Frank Larnery compares soils and crop management in Akmola province, Kazakhstan with cropping in the black soil zone of Alberta.
Video - Conservation Offset: A Tool for Land Management
Resource
This presentation discusses conservation offsets such as wetland replacement. It is a tool to address multiple demands on land, air and watersheds.
Video - Determining Community Level Physiological Profiles of Organic Soil Horizons
Resource
This presentation is about understanding how land disturbances impact the diversity, abundance and activity of soil microorganisms, and discusses both CLPP and functional diversity
Video - Evaluation of BMPs on the Lower Little Bow River
Resource
At the 2013 Alberta Soil Science Workshop, Dr. Jim Miller covered the extensive and long term results of riparian protection (streambank fencing and offsite watering for cattle pastures) on stream water quality and biology plus the benefits and costs for cattleman.
Video - Evaluation of Nutrient and Irrigation Management BMPs in Southern Alberta
Resource
This presentation is about an evaluation of nutrient and irrigation management Beneficial Management Practices (BMPs) in Southern Alberta.
Video - Forest Floor Protection in the Reclamation of Temporary Drilling Pads
Resource
Sascha Bachmann presented research related to reclamation of temporary drilling pads.

Resource
Shannon R. White is the Biodiversity Specialist for the Land-use Framework Regional Planning Branch for ESRD. She discusses Biodiversity Management Frameworks (BMFs), including indicators, triggers...
Video - HOLOS: A GHG Calculator Growing Up
Resource
Dr. Roland Kroebel outines where ecosystem modeling for agriculture is moving in a presentation to the 50th Alberta Soil Science Workshop. Starting with a GHG calculator, HOLOS, Dr. Kroebel proposes adding a number of other models, for carbon, soil moisture, nitrogen and environmental footprints to create a "Virtual Farm" concept.
Video - Managing Soil Carbon in Temperate & Boreal Ecosystems
Resource
This presentation discusses managing soil carbon in temperate and boreal ecosystems.
Video - Overview of land classification for irrigation in Alberta
Resource
Gerald Ontkean provides a history of the science of assessing soils for irrigation suitability from 1915 with the enactment of Alberta's Irrigation Act.
Video - Preliminary Study: Forest Soil Development Following Industrial Disturbances, NW Alberta
Resource
Amanada Schoonmaker, NAIT Boreal Research Institute, introduces a preliminary case study on ripping trials on logged landing sites and wellsite reclamation sites in NW Alberta. Soil compaction is an issue for reclamation success for both types of industrial sites.
