A Synthesis of Three Decades of Eco-Hydrological Research at Scotty Creek, NWT, Canada
Resource
Scotty Creek, Northwest Territories (NWT), Canada, has been the focus of eco-hydrological research for nearly three decades. Over this period, field and modelling studies have generated new insights...
Advancing Municipal Natural Asset Management Through Financial Planning and Reporting: Learning from the Town of Gibsons' Experience
Resource
This summary is part of a series designed to provide local governments with easy-to-access information to help with adoption of municipal natural asset management.
Advancing Municipal Natural Asset Management Through Funding Opportunities
Resource
This summary reviews six of Canada’s major infrastructure funding programs through the lens of a manager seeking to fund a municipal natural asset project.
Community-level Modelling of Boreal Forest Mammal Distribution in an Oil Sands Landscape

Defining and Scoping Municipal Natural Assets
Resource
As the municipal infrastructure asset management process evolves, it will be critical to ensure that all community assets that may provide municipal services—lakes, wetlands, green spaces and trees as well as roads, bridges and buildings—are appropriately identified and managed.
Do Power Line Right-Of-Ways Facilitate the Spread of Non-Peatland and Invasive Plants in Bogs and Fens?

Effects of Road Dust on Vegetation Composition and Surface Chemistry of Three Ombrotrophic Peatlands in Eastern Canada
Resource
Dust deposition can fertilize nutrient-limited peatlands and affect their plant assemblages and ecosystem functions, but the effects of local road dust on peatlands have seldom been studied. Here, we...
Impact of Heat Advection on the Thermal Regime of Roads Built on Permafrost

Increased Nutrient Availability Speeds up Permafrost Development, While Goose Grazing Slows it Down in a Canadian High Arctic Wetland
Resource
1. It is of prime importance to understand feedbacks due to the release of carbon (C) stored in permafrost soils (permafrost-climate feedback) and direct impacts of climatic variations on permafrost...
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...
Modeled Production, Oxidation, and Transport Processes of Wetland Methane Emissions in Temperate, Boreal, and Arctic Regions

Municipal Natural Asset Management as a Sustainable Infrastructure Strategy: The Emerging Evidence
Resource
This paper documents an emerging strategy to manage natural assets such as woodlands, wetlands, and creeks in urban areas as part of a sustainable infrastructure strategy.
Permafrost Thaw Causes Large Carbon Loss in Boreal Peatlands While Changes to Peat Quality are Limited
Resource
Rapid, ongoing permafrost thaw of peatlands in the discontinuous permafrost zone is exposing a globally significant store of soil carbon (C) to microbial processes. Mineralization and release of this...
