Sea-ice Crossings by Caribou in the South-central Canadian Arctic Archipelago and their Ecological Importance
Resource
The islands of the Canadian Arctic Archipelago lie immediately north of mainland North America in the Arctic Ocean. They are surrounded by ice for most of each year. Caribou (Rangifer tarandus) cross...
Seasonal Ground Ice Impacts on Spring Ecohydrological Conditions in a Western Boreal Plains Peatland
Resource
This resource is available on an external database and may require a paid subscription to access it. It is included on the CCLM to support our goal of capturing and sharing the breadth of all...
Source or Sink? Meta-analysis Reveals Diverging Controls of Phosphorus Retention and Release in Restored and Constructed Wetlands
Resource
Wetland restoration is a popular nutrient management strategy for improving water quality in agricultural catchments. However, a wetland’s ability to retain phosphorus is highly variable and wetlands...
Spatial Patterns and Mass Balance of Sodium in Near-surface Peat of a Constructed Fen
Resource
At the Nikanotee Fen Watershed, a pioneering reclamation project in the Athabasca Oil Sands Region, elevated sodium (Na+) in the porewater of mine-waste materials has been shown to migrate to the fen...
Spatial Variation in Nutrient Dynamics Among Five Different Peatland Types in the Alberta Oil Sands Region
Resource
Wetlands are found extensively throughout the Western Boreal Plain, a region under pressure because of disturbance by the oil and gas industries. To understand how wetland systems may respond to...
State-dependent Foraging by Caribou With Different Nutritional Requirements
Resource
A 14-page academic paper that examines the connection between the physiological state of caribou and how they feed. The paper says, "Foraging time by caribou was partially state-dependent...
Subsurface Water Chemistry in Mined Land Reclamation; Key to Development of a Productive Post-mining Landscape
Resource
In reconstructing the landscape during reclamation the sequence and methods of placement of overburden material determine the post-mining subsurface-water chemistry. The type of material at various...
Temperature, Moisture and Freeze–thaw Controls on CO2 Production in Soil Incubations From Northern Peatlands
Resource
Peat accumulation in high latitude wetlands represents a natural long-term carbon sink, resulting from the cumulative excess of growing season net ecosystem production over non-growing season (NGS)...
Ten Traditional Protocols for Caribou Hunting
Resource
This five-page document provides ten protocols for hunting caribou as described by the Dënesųłıné (Chipewyan) people, and include commentary from elders to help explain the protocols. This resource...
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 Boreal-Arctic Wetland and Lake Dataset
Resource
Here we present the Boreal–Arctic Wetland and Lake Dataset (BAWLD), a land cover dataset based on an expert assessment, extrapolated using random forest modelling from available spatial datasets of...
The Effect of Traffic Levels on the Distribution and Behaviour of Calving Caribou in an Arctic Oilfield
Resource
Academic journal article on the effects of traffic and infrastructure on the behaviour of calving caribou in Alaska.
The Effects of Water Management on the CO2 Uptake of Sphagnum Moss in a Reclaimed Peatland
Resource
This resource is available on an external database and may require a paid subscription to access it. It is included on the CCLM to support our goal of capturing and sharing the breadth of all...
The Essential Carbon Service Provided by Northern Peatlands
Resource
Northern peatlands have cooled the global climate by accumulating large quantities of soil carbon (C) over thousands of years. Maintaining the C sink function of these peatlands and their immense long...
The Feasibility of Mechanical Compression to Reduce Capillary Barrier Effect, and Increase CO2 Sequestration in a Restored Cutover Peatland
Resource
Ten years after restoration was implemented at the Bois-des-Bel peatland (BdB) in Quebec, there was limited hydrological connectivity between the regenerated Sphagnum moss and the remnant cutover peat...
The Feasibility of Mechanical Compression to Reduce the Capillary Barrier Effect, and Increase CO2 Sequestration in a Restored Cutover Peatland
Resource
Ten years after restoration was implemented at the Bois-des-Bel peatland (BdB) in Quebec, there was limited hydrological connectivity between the regenerated Sphagnum moss and the remnant cutover peat...
The Flux of Trust: Caribou Co-Management in Northern Canada
Resource
There is a presumption that the primary goal of creating alternative resource management systems is to increase the efficiency of the management decisions made. However, changing the rules of resource...
