Jason House described the inverse relationship of soil carbon in peat-mineral soil mix and water stress on lodgepole pine growth on reclaimed oilsands tailing sands.
The Mackenzie River Basin, encompassing much of boreal Alberta, is the third largest boreal peatland region in the world and the region is warming at rate much greater than the global average. Climate...
This presentation covers effects of peatland fire on permafrost stability, consequences of permafrost thaw on greenhouse gas exchange, and opportunities to learn from natural disturbances.
Permafrost vulnerability to climate change may be underestimated unless effects of wildfire are considered. Here we assess impacts of wildfire on soil thermal regime and rate of thermokarst bog...
