Challenges in Co-operative Reclamation Research
Resource
There may be different interpretations of cooperative reclamation research, so it is appropriate to explain how the term will be used in subsequent discussions. The basic concept is to broaden the...
Global Guidelines for Peatland Rewetting and Restoration
Resource
The Convention on Wetlands (The Convention) and other national, regional and global policy frameworks promote the restoration of degraded peatlands. Rewetting peatland to reduce greenhouse gas...
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...
Intrinsic Traits of Woodland Caribou Rangifer tarandus Calves Depredated by Black Bears Ursus americanus and Coyotes Canis latrans
Resource
Individuals in substandard physical condition are predicted to be more vulnerable to predation. Support for this prediction is inconsistent partly as a result of differences across systems in the life...
Large Animal Models for Chronic Wasting Disease
Resource
Chronic wasting disease (CWD) is a fatal neurodegenerative prion disease of cervid species including deer, elk, moose and reindeer. The disease has shown both geographic and species expansion since...
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...
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...
Restoration of Linear Disturbances From Oil-and-gas Exploration in Boreal Landscapes: How can Network Models Help?
Resource
Abstract In western Canada, decades of oil-and-gas exploration have fragmented boreal landscapes with a dense network of linear forest disturbances (seismic lines). These seismic lines are implicated...
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...
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...
Using Tree Ring Analysis to Determine Impacts of a Road on a Boreal Peatland
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...
Video - Enhanced Fuel Mapping for Wildfire Management
Resource
This presentation discusses ways that LiDAR data can be used in forestry management, including for mapping mountain pine beetle infestations.
Warming Response of Peatland CO2 Sink is Sensitive to Seasonality in Warming Trends
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...
Webinar - Establishing Vegetation on Constructed Fens in Alberta's Oil Sands Region
Resource
Oil sands mining in Alberta has disturbed large areas of peatlands, the dominant regional ecosystem type, and no formal strategies exist to reconstruct the landscape. Peatland reclamation is...
