Leveraging Genomics Tools to Explore Relationships Between Agriculture, Biodiversity and Waterfowl Productivity in Prairie Wetlands
Resource
Environmental genomics is a research method that sequences DNA from samples collected from the environment (e.g. wetlands, water, soil, organisms, etc.). This method can accelerate species...
Mapping Canadian Wetlands
Resource
This briefing note synthesizes knowledge from two resources on wetland mapping available on the Canadian and Conservation Land Management (CCLM) Knowledge Portal.
Mesocosm Test Facility: A Bridge Between Lab and Field Studies
Resource
This infographic by the CCLM discusses mesocosms and the InnoTech Alberta Mesocosm Facility in Vegreville, Alberta.

Event Date and Time
May 24th, 2023 at 12:30pm EST to May 24th, 2023 at 2:00pm EST
Nature-based climate solutions (NBCSs) are increasingly viewed as potentially significant contributors to combating climate change. They are of particular interest in countries such as Canada, which...
On the Use of Mulching to Mitigate Permafrost Thaw due to Linear Disturbances in Sub-Arctic Peatlands
Resource
The presence or absence of permafrost strongly influences the hydrology and ecology of northern watersheds. Resource exploration activities are currently having profound effects on hydrological and...
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...
Plant Mercury Accumulation and Litter Input to a Northern Sedge-dominated Peatland
Resource
Abstract Plant foliage plays an essential role in accumulating mercury (Hg) from the atmosphere and transferring it to soils in terrestrial ecosystems, and many studies have focused on forested...
Planting Techniques for Boreal Reclamation
Resource
This infographic synthesizes knowledge from a variety of resources on the Canadian and Conservation Land Management (CCLM) Knowledge Portal. It highlights some important considerations for managers...
Practical Peatland Restoration
Resource
This Briefing Note presents key information on practical peatland rewetting and restoration on site. It formulates general guiding principles applicable to all peatland restoration practices and...
Restoring Drained Peatlands: A Necessary Step to Achieve Global Climate Goals
Resource
Peatlands cover about 400 million hectares (ha), or 3% of the land surface of our planet. Yet they store more carbon, more effectively and for longer periods, than any other ecosystem on land. Intact...
Simulated Climate Warming Increases Plant Community Heterogeneity in To Types of Boreal Peatlands in North Central 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...
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...
