Webinar - Forecasting Climate-sensitive Landscape Change Reveals Habitat Shifts and Population Uncertainty for Northern Boreal Caribou
Resource
Climate-induced northern forest change may be severe, altering resources for boreal caribou. Mitigating the conservation challenges associated with caribou could be dampened through forecasts of...
Webinar - How Mounds are Made Matters: Implications for Seismic Line Restoration in Peatlands
Resource
Presented by Kimberly Kleinke from the University of Waterloo The boreal forest of western Canada is fragmented by seismic lines created for oil and gas exploration. These linear disturbances have...
Webinar - Impact of Resource Extraction on Canada's Boreal Peatlands
Resource
This presentation highlights ongoing research in northern Alberta examining peatland carbon and greenhouse gas exchange as a measure of peatland ecosystem function.
Webinar - Restoring the Wetland Plant Community After Invasive Reed Control
Resource
Recovery and Resistance: Restoring the wetland plant community after invasive reed control Presenter: Dr. Rebecca Rooney, University of Waterloo For established invasions, like European common reed...
Webinar - Returning the Carbon Sink Function: An Overview of Canadian Peatland Restoration
Resource
This presentation provides an overview of a long-term university-industry research partnership to improve understanding of peatland ecosystem function and reclamation techniques.
Webinar - The Evaluation of Peatland Restoration Following In-situ Oil and Gas Infrastructure Disturbances
Resource
Presented by Meike Lemmer, PhD, Research Scientist at University of Applied Sciences Weihenstephan-Triesdorf Dr. Meika Lemmer's research studied several peatland restoration approaches following the...
Webinar - Towards Understanding the Influence of Headwater Catchments on Water Availability in the Athabasca River Basin
Resource
This presentation highlights the importance of northern Alberta’s “mountains” and wetlands on sustaining water flows in local streams and regional rivers in the Athabasca River Basin.
Wetlands in the Athabasca Oil Sands Region: The Nexus between Wetland Hydrological Function and Resource Extraction
Resource
Oil sands development within the Athabasca Oil Sands Region (AOSR) has accelerated in recent decades, causing alteration to natural ecosystems including wetlands that perform many vital ecosystem...
Where Will Northern Boreal Caribou Live as the Climate Changes?
Resource
The information in this infographic is based on an academic paper, Climate-informed forecasts reveal dramatic local habitat shifts and population uncertainty for northern boreal caribou.
Wildfire as a Major Driver of Recent Permafrost Thaw in Boreal Peatlands
Resource
Permafrost vulnerability to climate change may be underestimated unless effects of wildfire are considered. Here we assess impacts of wildfire on soil thermal regime and rate of thermokarst bog...

Wildfire Overrides Hydrological Controls on Boreal Peatland Methane Emissions
Resource
Boreal peatlands represent a globally important store of carbon, and disturbances such as wildfire can have a negative feedback to the climate. Understanding how carbon exchange and greenhouse gas...
Will this Umbrella Leak? A Caribou Umbrella Index for Boreal Landbird Conservation
Resource
Conservation approaches that efficiently protect multiple values, such as the umbrella species concept, have been widely promoted with expected dramatic ecosystem changes. Due to its social and...
