Mapping Smouldering Fire Potential in Boreal Peatlands and Assessing Interactions with the Wildland-Human Interface in Alberta, Canada
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...
Multi-year Assessment of Water and Energy Exchange From an Oil Sands Reclamation Cover, Fort McMurray, Canada
Resource
In most years, evaporation exceeds summer rainfall. Using natural aspen stands as a comparison, it is expected that water use from the soil cover will continue to increase as the ecosystem ages.
Peat Depth as a Control on Sphagnum Moisture Stress During Seasonal Drought
Resource
A critical ‘threshold’ peat depth specific for different hydrogeological and hydroclimatic regions can be used to assess what peatlands are especially vulnerable to climate change mediated drought.
Peat Surface Compression Reduces Smouldering Fire Potential as a Novel Fuel Treatment for Boreal Peatlands
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...
Peat Swamp Hydrological Connectivity and Runoff Vary by Hydrogeomorphic Setting: Implications for Carbon Storage
Resource
Despite their importance in carbon cycling and catchment runoff dynamics, the hydrology of temperate peat swamps in response to changing hydrometeorological conditions is largely understudied. We...
Primary Drivers of Reptile Overwintering Habitat Suitability: Integrating Wetland Ecohydrology and Spatial Complexity
Resource
Identifying ecosystems resilient to climate and land-use changes is recognized as essential for conservation strategies. However, wetland ecosystems may respond differently to stressors depending on...
Seismic Lines in Treed Boreal Peatlands as Analogs for Wildfire Fuel Modification Treatments
Resource
Across the Boreal, there is an expansive wildland–society interface (WSI), where communities, infrastructure, and industry border natural ecosystems, exposing them to the impacts of natural...
Soil Management Guide
Resource
Soil management, or soil conservation, deals with some aspect of protecting soil resources and using soils in a sustainable manner.
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 Effects of Black Spruce Fuel Management on Surface Fuel Condition and Peat Burn Severity in an Experimental Fire
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...
The Essential Carbon Service Provided by Northern Peatlands
Resource
Northern peatlands have cooled the global climate by accumulating large quantities of soil carbon (C) over thousands of years. Maintaining the C sink function of these peatlands and their immense long...
The Hydrochemical Evolution of a Constructed Peatland in a Post-mining Landscape Six Years After Construction
Resource
Study Focus: Six years of hydrochemical data (2013 – 2018) from the Sandhill Fen Watershed (SFW), a 52-ha upland-peatland catchment that was built upon highly saline soft tailings, were used to...
