Large Scale Mapping of Soil Organic Carbon Concentration with 3D Machine Learning and Satellite Observations
Resource
Canada has extensive forests and peatlands that play key roles in global carbon cycle. Canadian soils and peatlands are assumed to store approximately 20% of the world’s soil carbon stock. However...
On the Use of Mulching to Mitigate Permafrost Thaw due to Linear Disturbances in Sub-Arctic Peatlands
Resource
The presence or absence of permafrost strongly influences the hydrology and ecology of northern watersheds. Resource exploration activities are currently having profound effects on hydrological and...
Paleolimnological Assessment of Past Hydro-ecological Variation at a Shallow Hardwater Lake in the Athabasca Oil Sands Region Before Potential Onset of Industrial Development
Resource
Effective environmental monitoring requires knowledge of inherent natural variation. In the absence of pre-development monitoring of aquatic ecosystems, paleolimnological approaches have been...
Predicting Patterns of Terrestrial Lichen Biomass Recovery Following Boreal Wildfires
Resource
New allometric equations to estimate lichen biomass from field measurements of lichen cover and height; allometries were consistent among ecoprovinces, suggesting generalizability
Proposal for a Conservation Agreement under s.11 of the Species at Risk Act: Woodland Caribou (Boreal population)
News
Organization
A proposal for a bilateral conservation agreement between Ontario and Canada to support boreal caribou protection and recovery under section 11 of the federal Species at Risk Act is now available for...
Report on the Progress of Recovery Strategy Implementation for the Woodland Caribou (Rangifer tarandus caribou), Boreal Population, in Canada for the Period 2012-2017
Resource
This Progress Report was prepared by Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC), where the purpose of this Progress Report is to fulfill a legal obligation by providing Canadians with a summary of...
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 Government of Canada supports Dene Nation initiative to help conserve boreal caribou
News
Organization
News release July 15, 2021 – Yellowknife, Northwest Territories The Government of Canada is committed to partnering with Indigenous peoples to protect ecosystems, species, and cultures for a healthier...
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...
The Influence of Uranium Mine Tailings on Tree Growth at Elliot Lake, Ontario
Resource
A four year study has been carried out to determine the ability of coniferous trees to aid in the reclamation of uranium tailings at Elliot Lake. Five species were planted: white cedar, white spruce...
The Pan-Canadian Approach and Priority Species
Resource
The Pan-Canadian Approach has identified a set of six "priority" species at risk for collaborative action: barren ground caribou; caribou, boreal population; greater sage grouse; Peary caribou...
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.
