Satellite Determination of Peatland Water Table Temporal Dynamics by Localizing Representative Pixels of A SWIR-Based Moisture Index
Resource
The OPtical TRApezoid Model (OPTRAM) is a physically-based approach for remote soil moisture estimation. OPTRAM is based on the response of short-wave infrared (SWIR) reflectance to vegetation water...

Summary Pamphlet - Wetland Road Crossing Hydrological Monitoring Report
Resource
Road networks, both temporary and permanent, are necessary for accessing natural resources in the boreal forest. Forest roads can alter hydrology by 1) affecting the movement of water 2) reducing the...
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 Importance of Geology, Climate and Anthropogenic Disturbances in Shaping Boreal Wetland and Aquatic Landscape Types
Resource
This study quantified the distribution of wetland and aquatic wildlife-habitat landscape types in boreal Quebec and determined how wildlife habitats vary among climatic regimes and landforms.
The Ongoing Lateral Expansion of Peatlands in Finland
Resource
Peatlands are the most dense terrestrial carbon stock and since the last glacial epoch northern peatlands have accumulated between 400 and 1000 Gt of carbon. Although the horizontal development...
