Evaluating the Hydrological Response of a Boreal Fen Following the Removal of a Temporary Access Road
Resource
Removal and reclamation should be considered as a worthwhile venture for roads that extend through fens and are no longer in use.
Graminoids Vary in Functional Traits, Carbon Dioxide and Methane Fluxes in a Restored Peatland: Implications for Modeling Carbon Storage
Resource
One metric of peatland restoration success is the re-establishment of a carbon sink, yet considerable uncertainty remains around the timescale of carbon sink trajectories. Conditions post-restoration...
Groundwater in Peat and Peatlands
Resource
Peatlands are wetlands with soil comprised of undecomposed remains of plants that accumulate in such a way that both responds to and controls the flux and storage of surface water and groundwater, as...
How Mounds are Made Matters: Seismic Line Restoration Techniques Affect Peat Physical and Chemical Properties Throughout the Peat Profile
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...
Impact of Linear Disturbances on Boreal Wetland Carbon and Greenhouse Gas Exchange
Resource
This presentation provides and overview of linear disturbance impacts on carbon and greenhouse gas exchange and links various research posters also presented at the NAIT 7th Seminar on Linear...
Impacts of Seismic Line Restoration on CO2, CH4, and Biomass
Resource
This thesis explores how seismic line mounding treatments affect vegetation cover and composition, above- and belowground biomass, and carbon dioxide (CO 2) and methane (CH 4) fluxes in the first two...

Peat extraction companies have learned a lot about how to restore these vital ecosystems. But slow growth, climate change, and complexity mean conservation is an important strategy as well. Over the...
Integrated Surface-subsurface Water and Solute Modeling of a Reclaimed In-pit Oil Sands Mine: Effects of Ground Freezing and Thawing
Resource
The upland and wetlands substrate in reclaimed oil sands landforms will be constructed of post-mining materials with an objective of replicating the landscape and hydrology of the surrounding boreal...
Linear Disturbances Shift Boreal Peatland Plant Communities Toward Earlier Peak Greenness
Resource
Vast areas of boreal peatlands are impacted by linear disturbances known as seismic lines. Tree removal and ground disturbance alter vegetation communities and are expected to change ecosystem...
Local Controls on Tree Seedling Growth Following Mounding on Peatland Seismic Lines in Brazeau County and Lac La Biche, Alberta
Resource
Abstract Seismic lines in boreal peatlands are struggling to restore native canopy level vegetation. Mounding is a common restoration method that provides an advantageous growing environment for...
Local Hydroclimatic Influence on Black Spruce (Picea mariana (Mill.) B.S.P.) Anatomical Traits in Two Boreal Fen Peatlands
Resource
As global temperatures increase, ongoing research is essential in understanding the long-term effects of climate change on tree dominated wetlands. Acting as a significant landform in the boreal...
Low Extent but High Impact of Human Land Use on Wetland Flora Across the Boreal Oil Sands Region
Resource
Boreal wetlands are at risk of degradation from anthropogenic activities including oil sands energy extraction. Despite efforts to monitor the impacts of oil sands energy extraction-related activities...
