UAV Remote Sensing can Reveal the Effects of Low Impact Seismic Lines on Methane (CH4) Release in a Forested Boreal Bog
Resource
Peatlands are globally significant stores of soil carbon, where local methane (CH 4 ) emissions are strongly linked to water table position and microtopography. Historically, these factors have been...
Use of Pulp Mill Biosolids to Stimulate Forest Plant Growth on an Industrial Footprint with Marginal Soil
Resource
Land application of biosolids may be an effective strategy to improve soil quality and better support the establishment of native vegetative cover on an industrial footprint with marginal soil...
