Temperature, Moisture and Freeze–thaw Controls on CO2 Production in Soil Incubations From Northern Peatlands
Resource
Peat accumulation in high latitude wetlands represents a natural long-term carbon sink, resulting from the cumulative excess of growing season net ecosystem production over non-growing season (NGS)...
Testing the Moss Layer Transfer Technique on Mineral Well Pads Constructed in 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...
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...

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 Impact of Black Spruce (Picea mariana) Plantation on Carbon Exchange in a Cutover Peatland in Western Canada
Resource
This study determined the effect of a 7-year-old black spruce (Picea mariana) plantation on the carbon balance of a cutover peatland.
The Importance of Geology, Climate and Anthropogenic Disturbances in Shaping Boreal Wetland and Aquatic Landscape Types
Resource
This study quantified the distribution of wetland and aquatic wildlife-habitat landscape types in boreal Quebec and determined how wildlife habitats vary among climatic regimes and landforms.
The Umbrella Value of Caribou Management Strategies for Biodiversity Conservation in Boreal Forests Under Global Change
Resource
Abstract Single-species conservation management is often proposed to preserve biodiversity in human-disturbed landscapes. How global change will impact the umbrella value of single-species management...
Thermal Behaviour and Performance of Two Field Experimental Insulation Covers to Control Sulfide Oxidation at Meadowbank Mine, Nunavut
Resource
Insulation covers are an appealing reclamation approach to control sulfide oxidation in tailings storage facilities located in the Arctic. In this study, the thermal behaviour and effectiveness of...

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.
