Environmental Patterns of Brown Moss- and Sphagnum-Associated Microbial Communities
Resource
Northern peatlands typically develop through succession from fens dominated by the moss family Amblystegiaceae to bogs dominated by the moss genus Sphagnum. How the different plants and abiotic...
Fire and Water Forum
Event
Grande Prairie , AB
Organization
Wildfire risk is real in the Peace. Sharing knowledge is the beginning of a conversation to find solutions and become proactive. This full day forum will bring together our understanding of fire and...
Mighty Peace Watershed Alliance Integrated Watershed Management Plan
Resource
The Mighty Peace Watershed Alliance (MPWA) supports the three goals of Alberta’s Water for Life Strategy: safe secure drinking water, healthy aquatic ecosystems, and reliable, quality water supplies...
Permafrost Thaw Causes Large Carbon Loss in Boreal Peatlands While Changes to Peat Quality are Limited
Resource
Rapid, ongoing permafrost thaw of peatlands in the discontinuous permafrost zone is exposing a globally significant store of soil carbon (C) to microbial processes. Mineralization and release of this...
The Boreal-Arctic Wetland and Lake Dataset
Resource
Here we present the Boreal–Arctic Wetland and Lake Dataset (BAWLD), a land cover dataset based on an expert assessment, extrapolated using random forest modelling from available spatial datasets of...
Variation in Photosynthetic Properties Among Bog Plants
Resource
Plant functional types (PFTs) are used to make generalizations in modeling how plants impact ecosystem functioning. In boreal bogs the number of plant species is small, but several PFTs are...
Video - Land Use as a Tool for Watershed Management
Resource
This presentation discusses land-use as a tool to understand the drivers of water processes.
Wildfire and Degradation Accelerate Northern Peatland Carbon Release
Resource
The northern peatland carbon sink plays a vital role in climate regulation; however, the future of the carbon sink is uncertain, in part, due to the changing interactions of peatlands and wildfire...
