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...
CBFA/FPAC, Pasquia-Bog Caribou Conservation Plan
Project
Contact
Organization:
Project Description:The Pasquia-Bog area was assessed by reviewing best available caribou Indigenous Knowledge and western science information to characterize the caribou range and draft an...
Characterizing an Inter-jurisdictional Woodland Caribou Range in the Boreal Plain
Resource
The Canadian Boreal Forest Agreement (CBFA) undertook an assessment of the Pasquia-Bog area to characterize the range using best available science and information.
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...
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...
Recommendations and Proposed Contributions Towards a Caribou Conservation Plan: Pasquia-Bog Boreal Caribou Population
Resource
Pasquia-Bog Woodland Caribou Range Plan - version as recommended to Canadian Boreal Forest Agreement Secretariat.
Recommendations for, and Voluntary Contributions, Towards a Kesagami Range Caribou Action Plan
Resource
This document records the recommendations and the voluntary contributions of the Canadian Boreal Forest Agreement (CBFA) signatories for a Caribou Action Plan in the Cochrane-Quebec/Kesagami caribou...
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...
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...
Understanding Disturbance Thresholds and Opportunities to Achieve Better Outcomes for Boreal Caribou in Canada: A Primer
Resource
The Canadian Boreal Forest Agreement commits signatories to promote recovery of boreal caribou through regional caribou action planning across Canada. The following primer describes how the national...
