Semi-directed interviews relating to the traditional knowledge (TK) of barren-ground caribou ( Rangifer tarandus groenlandicus) movements were conducted with elders and hunters from the Denésôliné...
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...
Monitoring Barren-Ground Caribou Body Condition with Denésǫłıné Traditional Knowledge
Project
Organization:
This study used interviews with Denésǫłiné elders and hunters from Łutsël K'é, Northwest Territories, Canada, to gather information on caribou body condition and environmental conditions.
Monitoring Barren-Ground Caribou Body Condition with Denésǫłıné Traditional Knowledge
Resource
Information from aboriginal elders and hunters on changes in barren-ground caribou ( Rangifer tarandus) body condition can assist current management systems. Interviews with Denésǫłiné elders and...
Recent Climate Change has Driven Divergent Hydrological Shifts in High-latitude Peatlands
Resource
High-latitude peatlands are changing rapidly in response to climate change, including permafrost thaw. Here, we reconstruct hydrological conditions since the seventeenth century using testate amoeba...
Revealing the Hidden Carbon in Forested Wetland Soils
Resource
Inland wetlands are critical carbon reservoirs storing 30% of global soil organic carbon (SOC) within 6% of the land surface. However, forested regions contain SOC-rich wetlands that are not included...
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...
