Wetland Successional State Affects Fire Severity in a Boreal Shield Landscape
Resource
Boreal peatland ecosystems are generally resilient to low severity wildfire. However, climate change may increase wildfire intensity and frequency, potentially shifting wetlands to less wildfire...
Wetlands as Integral Parts of Surface Water–Groundwater Interactions in the Athabasca Oil Sands Area: Review and Synthesis
Resource
Wetlands comprise unique water storage and conveyance mechanisms that maintain landscape integrity under the sub-humid climate in the Athabasca Oil Sands Area. In addition to their internal function...
Wetlands in the Athabasca Oil Sands Region: The Nexus between Wetland Hydrological Function and Resource Extraction
Resource
Oil sands development within the Athabasca Oil Sands Region (AOSR) has accelerated in recent decades, causing alteration to natural ecosystems including wetlands that perform many vital ecosystem...
Wildfire and Degradation Accelerate Northern Peatland Carbon Release
Resource
The northern peatland carbon sink plays a vital role in climate regulation; however, the future of the carbon sink is uncertain, in part, due to the changing interactions of peatlands and wildfire...
Wildfire Overrides Hydrological Controls on Boreal Peatland Methane Emissions
Resource
Boreal peatlands represent a globally important store of carbon, and disturbances such as wildfire can have a negative feedback to the climate. Understanding how carbon exchange and greenhouse gas...
