Carbon Gas Exchange, Primary Production and Litter Decomposition of a Restored Fen on a Former Well-Pad
Resource
Over 500,000 oil and gas wells have been drilled in Alberta. Recently updated peatland restoration criteria for well-pads creates incentive for peatland restoration, but little is known about...
Carbon Stocks and Fluxes From a Boreal Conifer Swamp: Filling a Knowledge Gap for Understanding the Boreal C Cycle
Resource
The carbon (C) dynamics of boreal coniferous swamps are a largely understudied component of wetland carbon cycling. We investigated the above- and below-ground carbon stocks and growing season carbon...
Caribou Migration, Subsistence Hunting, and User Group Conflicts in Northwest Alaska: A Traditional Knowledge Perspective
Resource
Abstract Alaska Natives of northwest Alaska are highly dependent on barren-ground caribou ( Rangifer tarandus) for meeting their nutritional and cultural needs. The Alaska Native village of Noatak...
Caribou Migration, Subsistence Hunting, and User Group Conflicts in Northwest Alaska: A Traditional Knowledge perspective
Project
Contact
Organization:
Project Objectives: To document local and traditional knowledge on caribou, caribou hunting, hunting conflicts To support subsistence and caribou resources To have Noatak people give feedback on...
Changes to the Hydrology of a Boreal Fen Following the Placement of an Access Road and Below Ground Pipeline
Resource
Study Region A channel fen in the Athabasca Oil Sands Area, Alberta, Canada Study Focus We assessed the hydrological changes to the hydrology of a moderate-rich fen after the construction of a road...
Changes to the Hydrology of a Boreal Fen Following the Placement of an Access Road and Below Ground Pipeline
Resource
We assessed the hydrological changes to the hydrology of a moderate-rich fen after the construction of a road (perpendicular to flow) in 2003 and a pipeline (obliquely to flow) in 2011. New...
Characterizing Spatial and Temporal Variations in Nutrient and CO2 Dynamics Within and Across Peatlands in the Western Boreal Plain, Canada
Resource
This thesis is comprising two studies characterizing nutrient dynamics within the Athabasca Oil Sands region (AOS) of Alberta. The first study simultaneously examined and compared nutrient (nitrogen...
CircumArctic Collaboration to Monitor Caribou and Wild Reindeer
Resource
Caribou and wild reindeer ( Rangifer) are integral to ecology and Aboriginal lives and culture in circumArctic regions. Since reaching peak size in the 1990s, most herds have been declining, while...
Climate, Land Cover and Topography: Essential Ingredients in Predicting Wetland Permanence
Resource
Wetlands in the Prairie Pothole Region (PPR) are forecast to retract in their ranges due to climate change, and potholes that typically contain ponded water year-round, which support a larger...
CO2 Uptake Decreased and CH4 Emissions Increased in First Two Years of Peatland Seismic Line Restoration
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...
Consistent but Delayed Timing of Precipitation Affects Community Composition of Prairie Pothole Birds and Aquatic Macroinvertebrates, but not Wetland Plants
Resource
The hydroperiod (i.e., the length of time ponded water is present) of prairie potholes is sensitive to climate change. Because snowmelt runoff is the largest contributor to ponded water amounts, a...
Contrasts in Use and Perceptions of Biological Data for Caribou Management
Resource
Abstract Attitudes and perceptions toward caribou ( Rangifer tarandus) management practices held by users and managers of the Western Arctic Herd (WAH) in Alaska and the Beverly and Qamanirjuaq herds...
Contrasts in Use and Perceptions of Biological Data for Caribou Management
Project
Organization:
This project compared the attitudes and perceptions toward caribou ( Rangifer tarandus) management practices held by users and managers of the Western Arctic Herd (WAH) in Alaska and the Beverly and...
Contributions and Perspectives of Indigenous Peoples to the Study of Mercury in the Arctic
Resource
Arctic Indigenous Peoples are among the most exposed humans when it comes to foodborne mercury (Hg). In response, Hg monitoring and research have been on-going in the circumpolar Arctic since about...
Controls on Plot-Scale Growing Season CO2 and CH4 Fluxes in Restored Peatlands: Do They Differ From Unrestored and Natural Sites?
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...
Developing Allometric Equations for Estimating Shrub Biomass in a Boreal Fen
Resource
This study develops allometric equations for three dominant genera found in boreal fens: Alnus spp. (alder), Salix spp. (willow) and Betula pumila (bog birch).
Disconnectivity Matters: The Outsized Role of Small Ephemeral Wetlands in Landscape-scale Nutrient Retentions
Resource
Wetlands protect downstream waters by filtering excess nitrogen (N) generated from agricultural and urban activities. Small ephemeral wetlands, also known as geographically isolated wetlands (GIWs)...
Divergent Estimates of Herd‐wide Caribou Calf Survival: Ecological Factors and Methodological Biases
Resource
Abstract Population monitoring is a critical part of effective wildlife management, but methods are prone to biases that can hinder our ability to accurately track changes in populations through time...
