State-dependent Foraging by Caribou With Different Nutritional Requirements
Resource
A 14-page academic paper that examines the connection between the physiological state of caribou and how they feed. The paper says, "Foraging time by caribou was partially state-dependent...
Straight from the Caribou’s (Rangifer tarandus) Mouth: Detailed Observations of Tame Caribou Reveal New Insights into Summer–autumn Diets
Resource
High-quality habitats for caribou are associated primarily with lichens, but lichens alone fail to satisfy summer nutritional requirements. To evaluate the summer forage value of plant communities...
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...
The Effects of Black Spruce Fuel Management on Surface Fuel Condition and Peat Burn Severity in an Experimental Fire
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 Essential Carbon Service Provided by Northern Peatlands
Resource
Northern peatlands have cooled the global climate by accumulating large quantities of soil carbon (C) over thousands of years. Maintaining the C sink function of these peatlands and their immense long...
The Hydrochemical Evolution of a Constructed Peatland in a Post-mining Landscape Six Years After Construction
Resource
Study Focus: Six years of hydrochemical data (2013 – 2018) from the Sandhill Fen Watershed (SFW), a 52-ha upland-peatland catchment that was built upon highly saline soft tailings, were used to...

Video - Not so Peaceful: Quantifying 50 Years of Landscape Change for Caribou Across the Peace Region of British Columbia
Resource
At the 14th North American Caribou Workshop, held in September 2012, Libby Williamson-Ehlers presented results of research that recorded the landscape change caused by industrial development in the Peace region of north-eastern BC.
Water for the Futures We Want - Opportunities for Research, Practice, and Leadership in Achieving SDG 6
Resource
Canada and the world are faced with unprecedented water-related challenges which impact our ability to meet many of the UN sustainable development goals. Climate warming and human actions are altering...
Weather-based Indices of Parasitic Fly Activity and Abundance for the Bathurst Caribou Post-calving and Summer Range: Users Guide
Resource
A specialized 2014 report on the linkages between climate and levels of insects that bother caribou on the post-calving/summer range of the Bathurst Caribou herd. This resource and others can be found...
Webinar - Boreal Water Futures
Resource
This presentation provides an introduction to the Boreal Water Futures program.
Webinar - Hot Hot Peat! Managing Boreal Peatland Wildfires in an Era of Climate Change
Resource
This presentation provides an overview of current boreal peatland wildfire research and of management approaches in the face of climate change.
Webinar - iWETLAND: Managing Species at Risk Habitat through Wetland Water Level Citizen Science
Resource
iWETLAND: Managing Species at Risk Habitat through Wetland Water Level Citizen Science Presented by Taylor North and the McMaster Ecohydrology Lab iWetland is a citizen science wetland water level...
Wetland Successional State Affects Fire Severity in a Boreal Shield Landscape
Resource
Boreal peatland ecosystems are generally resilient to low severity wildfire. However, climate change may increase wildfire intensity and frequency, potentially shifting wetlands to less wildfire...
Wildfire and Degradation Accelerate Northern Peatland Carbon Release
Resource
The northern peatland carbon sink plays a vital role in climate regulation; however, the future of the carbon sink is uncertain, in part, due to the changing interactions of peatlands and wildfire...
