Spatial and Temporal Variation in Forest Transpiration Across a Forested Boreal Peatland Complex
Resource
Transpiration is a globally important component of evapotranspiration. Careful upscaling of transpiration from point measurements is thus crucial for quantifying water and energy fluxes. In spatially...
Temperature, Moisture and Freeze–thaw Controls on CO2 Production in Soil Incubations From Northern Peatlands
Resource
Peat accumulation in high latitude wetlands represents a natural long-term carbon sink, resulting from the cumulative excess of growing season net ecosystem production over non-growing season (NGS)...
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 Hydrology of Interconnected Bog Complexes in Discontinuous Permafrost Terrains
Resource
In the zone of discontinuous permafrost, the cycling and storage of water within and between wetlands is poorly understood. The presence of intermittent permafrost bodies tends to impede and re-direct...
The Influence of Postfire Recovery and Environmental Conditions on Boreal Vegetation
Resource
Climate change is increasing the frequency and extent of fires in the boreal biome of North America. These changes can alter the recovery of both canopy and understory vegetation. There is uncertainty...
Two Decades of Reclamation Research in the Subalpine Region of Alberta
Resource
The Alberta Research Council has conducted a surface mine reclamation research program in association with the operations of Smoky River Coal Ltd. near Grande Cache, Alberta since 1972. The main...
Unexpected Greening in a Boreal Permafrost Peatland Undergoing Forest Loss is Partially Attributable to Tree Species Turnover
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...
Water for the Futures We Want - Opportunities for Research, Practice, and Leadership in Achieving SDG 6
Resource
Canada and the world are faced with unprecedented water-related challenges which impact our ability to meet many of the UN sustainable development goals. Climate warming and human actions are altering...
Webinar - Forecasting Climate-sensitive Landscape Change Reveals Habitat Shifts and Population Uncertainty for Northern Boreal Caribou
Resource
Climate-induced northern forest change may be severe, altering resources for boreal caribou. Mitigating the conservation challenges associated with caribou could be dampened through forecasts of...
Where Will Northern Boreal Caribou Live as the Climate Changes?
Resource
The information in this infographic is based on an academic paper, Climate-informed forecasts reveal dramatic local habitat shifts and population uncertainty for northern boreal caribou.
Wildfire as a Major Driver of Recent Permafrost Thaw in Boreal Peatlands
Resource
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...

Will this Umbrella Leak? A Caribou Umbrella Index for Boreal Landbird Conservation
Resource
Conservation approaches that efficiently protect multiple values, such as the umbrella species concept, have been widely promoted with expected dramatic ecosystem changes. Due to its social and...
