Post-fire Peatland Vegetation Recovery: A Case Study in Open Rich Fens of the Canadian Boreal Forest
Resource
Fire plays a major role in structuring and the functioning of boreal ecosystems. As peatlands are important components of boreal forests, the impact of fire upon these wetter ecosystems is...
Potential for Using Remote Sensing to Estimate Carbon Fluxes Across Northern Peatlands – A Review
Resource
Peatlands store large amounts of terrestrial carbon and any changes to their carbon balance could cause large changes in the greenhouse gas (GHG) balance of the Earth's atmosphere. There is still much...
Potential of Macrophytes for Wastewater Remediation with Constructed Floating Wetlands in Cold Climates
Resource
Nature-based, low technology wastewater treatment systems can benefit small and remote communities. Adding a constructed floating wetland (CFW) to waste stabilization ponds can enhance treatment...
Power to the Peatlands

Belgium,
Organization
Attitudes to peatlands are changing. They are no longer seen as valueless wastelands, but are now appreciated as precious habitats that deliver significant ecosystem services. Peatlands have become...
Practical Guide to Measuring Wetland Carbon Pools and Fluxes
Resource
Wetlands cover a small portion of the world, but have disproportionate influence on global carbon (C) sequestration, carbon dioxide and methane emissions, and aquatic C fluxes. However, the underlying...
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...
Preferential Recharge in a Reclaimed Tailings Sand Upland: Implications on Solute Flushing
Resource
Given the potential for moisture limited conditions due to the sub-humid regional climate, ensuring sufficient water availability in these landscapes is a principal concern. This research demonstrates...
Press Release: Agreement Between Pulse Seismic and the ABMI Benefits Research on Seismic Line Recovery in Alberta
News
Organization

Pressurised Ventilation In Floating-leaved Aquatic Macrophytes
Resource
Abstract Gas through-flow by pressurised ventilation is well known in floating-leaved aquatic plants. The ventilation system operates via different structural features in different species: being...
Primary Drivers of Reptile Overwintering Habitat Suitability: Integrating Wetland Ecohydrology and Spatial Complexity
Resource
Identifying ecosystems resilient to climate and land-use changes is recognized as essential for conservation strategies. However, wetland ecosystems may respond differently to stressors depending on...
Proceedings of a Workshop to Develop a Strategic Plan for a Watershed Assessment Model (WAM)
Resource
Report of proceedings from a workshop to produce a strategic plan for developing a Watershed Assessment Model and identifying key project events.
Prompt Rewetting of Drained Peatlands Reduces Climate Warming Despite Methane Emissions
Resource
Peatlands are strategic areas for climate change mitigation because of their matchless carbon stocks. Drained peatlands release this carbon to the atmosphere as carbon dioxide (CO2). Peatland...
Protected Areas as a Nature-Based Climate Solution
Resource
Canada can leverage nature as an important tool towards reducing its greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by increasing the protection of key ecosystems, such as: northern peatland complexes in the Hudson...
