Peatland Pools are Tightly Coupled to the Contemporary Carbon Cycle
Resource
Peatlands are globally important stores of soil carbon (C) formed over millennial timescales but are at risk of destabilization by human and climate disturbance. Pools are ubiquitous features of many...
Peatland Restoration Increases Water Storage and Attenuates Downstream Stormflow but Does Not Guarantee an Immediate Reversal of Long-term Ecohydrological Degradation
Resource
Peatland restoration is experiencing a global upsurge as a tool to protect and provide various ecosystem services. As the range of peatland types being restored diversifies, do previous findings...
Peatland Restoration Pathways to Mitigate Greenhouse Gas Emissions and Retain Peat Carbon
Resource
Peatlands play a crucial role in the global carbon (C) cycle, making their restoration a key strategy for mitigating greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and retaining C. This study analyses the most common...
Peatland Wellsite Re-vegetation
Resource
Site re-vegetation is an important phase in peatland restoration. Prior to re-vegetating a peatland site, appropriate methods should be used to adjust the soil and address the hydrologic disturbance...
Peatlands and Carbon Video Series
Resource
Video series from Ducks Unlimited Canada, discussing the fascinating and ecologically important dynamics of carbon in Canada’s peatlands, and our role in maintaining these crucial ecotypes. Part 1...
Peatlands Promote Fire Refugia In Boreal Forests Of Northern Alberta, Canada
Resource
Abstract In the boreal forests of North America, large wildfires often leave residual patches of unburned vegetation, termed fire refugia, which can affect post-fire ecosystem processes. Although...
Pekîwe ᐯᑮᐁᐧ Coming Home: Healing Through Land and Cultural Reclamation
Resource
This thesis research will explore the ways in which land-based healing and reclamation are interconnected. The Indigenous community members of the Pekîwe Cultural Lodge were both collaborators and co...
Perfluoroalkyl Substances in Circum-Arctic Rangifer: Caribou and Reindeer
Resource
Livers of caribou and reindeer (Rangifer tarandus) from Canada (n = 146), Greenland (n = 30), Svalbard (n = 7), and Sweden (n = 60) were analyzed for concentrations of eight perfluoroalkyl carboxylic...
Performance of an Engineered Cover System for a Uranium Mine Waste Rock Pile in Northern Saskatchewan After Six Years
Resource
The Claude waste rock pile at Cluff Lake uranium mine in northern Saskatchewan's Athabasca basin contains ~7.2 million tonnes of waste rock, upon which an engineered enhanced store-and-release cover...
Performance of Grasses, Shrubs and Trees on Disturbed Soil at the AOSERP Mildred Lake Camp Experimental Area
Resource
Objectives were to establish grass, shrub and tree species for evaluation of their response, particularly their reproduction response, to the climatic and edaphic conditions north of Fort McMurray
Performance of Road Embankments on Seasonally-Frozen Peat Foundations With and Without Corduroy Bases
Resource
Two test sections along a newly constructed road embankment on peat foundations were instrumented to investigate their performance and to develop more economical means of construction method.
Performance of Vegetation on Mined Sands
Resource
2nd year of field work and intensive laboratory and greenhouse studies contribute to a much fuller understanding of the factors related to the very successful growth of Jack Pine on sand
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...
Petawawa Research Forest: Applied Science at its Finest!
Resource
Since 1918, forest researchers have used the Petawawa Research Forest to establish long term experiments and have collected data using varied and innovative techniques to learn how trees grow within...
