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...
Near-surface Controls on Peatland Hydrology: Implications for Rapid Disturbance Adaptation and Enhanced Resilience to Disturbance
Resource
Northern peatlands faced compounding disturbances that transformed such critical ecosystems from long-term carbon sinks into carbon sources. Considerable investment is therefore directed for restoring...
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...

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...
Transplanting lichen to grow food for threatened caribou
News
Researchers are exploring the transplanting of lichen as a potential tool for caribou habitat restoration. Natural disturbance, resource development, and land-use changes have resulted in a reduced...
Video - The Chase Caribou Road Restoration Program
Resource
Caribou face enormous pressures from predators due to habitat alteration. We can reduce that pressure by implementing restoration measures to roads and other habitat features. Chu Cho Environmental...
