A Tale of Two Roads: Consequences of Peat Conditions and Construction Practices on Peatland Effects, Reclaimability, and Best Practice Development
Resource
This talk explores what needs to inform road construction decisions, including evaluating where roads should be built and what practices should be used based on peat conditions.
Biogeochemical Response to Vegetation and Hydrologic Change in an Alaskan Boreal Fen Ecosystem
Resource
Boreal peatlands store approximately one third of the earth’s terrestrial carbon, locked away in currently waterlogged and frozen conditions. Peatlands of boreal and arctic ecosystems are affected...
Comparison of Site Preparation and Revegetation Strategies within a Sphagnum-Dominated Peatland Following Removal of an Oil Well Pad
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...
COSIA In-Situ Oil Sands Shared Practices for Working in and Around Wetlands
Resource
This report compiles a toolbox of shared practices currently in use by COSIA companies, or which have been used but were found to be unsuccessful.
Increasing Contributions of Peatlands to Boreal Evapotranspiration in a Warming Climate
Resource
The response of evapotranspiration (ET) to warming is of critical importance to the water and carbon cycle of the boreal biome, a mosaic of land cover types dominated by forests and peatlands. The...
Large Stocks of Peatland Carbon and Nitrogen are Vulnerable to Permafrost Thaw
Resource
Northern peatlands have accumulated large stocks of organic carbon (C) and nitrogen (N), but their spatial distribution and vulnerability to climate warming remain uncertain. Here, we used machine...
Peat Loss Collocates with a Threshold in Plant–Mycorrhizal Associations in Drained Peatlands Encroached by Trees
Resource
Drainage-induced encroachment by trees may have major effects on the carbon balance of northern peatlands, and responses of microbial communities are likely to play a central mechanistic role. We...
Planning for Wetland Function and Reclamation Success in Road Design
Resource
This research poster describes an overview of technical methods, peat properties and considerations, and development outcomes for linear feature (road) construction planning and development. Presented...
Spatial Variation in Nutrient Dynamics Among Five Different Peatland Types in the Alberta Oil Sands Region
Resource
Wetlands are found extensively throughout the Western Boreal Plain, a region under pressure because of disturbance by the oil and gas industries. To understand how wetland systems may respond to...
The Third Generation of Pan-Canadian Wetland Map at 10 m Resolution Using Multisource Earth Observation Data on Cloud Computing Platform
Resource
Development of the Canadian Wetland Inventory Map (CWIM) has thus far proceeded over two generations, reporting the extent and location of bog, fen, swamp, marsh, and water wetlands across the country...
Tundra Game Drives: An Arctic-Alpine Comparison
Resource
Stone fences and blinds built by prehistoric hunters to gather and ambush elk and bighorn sheep above timberline in the Colorado Front Range are similar in concept and function to structures built by...
Webinar - Climate Variability and Change in the Southern Boreal Forest of Northern Saskatchewan
Resource
Presented by Dave Sauchyn, Director of the Prairie Adaptation Research Collaborative at the University of Regina and Professor of Geography and Environmental Studies. Since the mid 20th century, mean...
