Canadian Wetland Inventory using Google Earth Engine: The First Map and Preliminary Results
Resource
Although wetlands provide valuable services to humans and the environment and cover a large portion of Canada, there is currently no Canada-wide wetland inventory based on the specifications defined...
Historical Landscape Use of Migratory Caribou: New Insights From Old Antlers
Resource
Accumulations of shed caribou antlers ( Rangifer tarandus) are valuable resources for expanding the temporal scope with which we evaluate seasonal landscape use of herds. Female caribou shed their...
Human-induced Behavioural Changes of Global Threatened Terrestrial Mammals
Resource
Abstract Aim: Understanding changes in the behaviour of threatened species responding to rapidly increasing human disturbances is critical for biodiversity conservation. Here, we synthesize a meta...
Mapping and Monitoring Peatland Conditions from Global to Field Scale
Resource
Peatlands cover only 3–4% of the Earth’s surface, but they store nearly 30% of global soil carbon stock. This significant carbon store is under threat as peatlands continue to be degraded at alarming...
Monitoring Recovery of Overgrazed Lichen Communities on Hagemeister Island, Southwestern Alaska
Resource
Understanding the recovery rate of overgrazed lichen communities has value to mangers of lands in northern regions. We describe lichen community composition and present recovery rate measurements for...
Rapid Transformation of Tundra Ecosystems From Ice-wedge Degradation
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...
Recent Climate Change has Driven Divergent Hydrological Shifts in High-latitude Peatlands
Resource
High-latitude peatlands are changing rapidly in response to climate change, including permafrost thaw. Here, we reconstruct hydrological conditions since the seventeenth century using testate amoeba...
Survival and Reproduction in Arctic Caribou are Associated with Summer Forage and Insect Harassment
Resource
Investigators have speculated that the climate-driven “greening of the Arctic” may benefit barren-ground caribou populations, but paradoxically many populations have declined in recent years. This...
