Methane Producing and Oxidizing Microorganisms Display a High Resilience to Drought in a Swedish Hemi-Boreal Mire
Resource
An increased frequency of droughts due to anthropogenic climate change can lead to considerable stress for soil microorganisms and their functioning within northern peatlands. A better understanding...
On the Marginal Value of Swimming in Woodland Caribou
Resource
During fieldwork on 30 May 2017, we observed an unmarked adult male caribou swim between two smaller islands, a distance of 470 m, which took approximately 9 minutes. Given that swimming is...
On the Role of Peat Bogs as Components of Indigenous Cultural Landscapes in Northern North America
Resource
This article explores uses of peat bogs and associated plants and other resources by drawing on the published ethnobotanical and archeological literature pertaining to Indigenous groups that lived and...
Relationships between Rangifer and Indigenous Well-being in the North American Arctic and Subarctic: A Review Based on the Academic Published Literature
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...
Responses to Projected Changes in Climate and UV-B at the Species Level
Resource
Environmental manipulation experiments showed that species respond individualistically to each environmental-change variable. The greatest responses of plants were generally to nutrient, particularly...
Responses to Projected Changes in Climate and UV-B at the Species Level
Project
Organization:
This project is part of an holistic approach to assess impacts of climate change on Arctic terrestrial ecosystems. It focuses on current, short-term phenotypic, and longer-term genetic responses of...
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 Boreal-Arctic Wetland and Lake Dataset
Resource
Here we present the Boreal–Arctic Wetland and Lake Dataset (BAWLD), a land cover dataset based on an expert assessment, extrapolated using random forest modelling from available spatial datasets of...
“The Caribou Taste Different Now": Inuit Elders Observe Climate Change
Resource
In full colour with photos of the 145 contributing Inuit elders, “The Caribou Taste Different Now” grounds the discussions, debates, and discourses about climate change to material and everyday life in the contemporary Canadian Arctic.
The Decreasing Availability of Reindeer Forage in Boreal Forests During Snow Cover Periods: A Sámi Pastoral Landscape Perspective in Sweden
Resource
This paper argues that Sámi reindeer pastoralism in Sweden is highly stressed during the critical snow cover periods due to large-scale human interventions, especially forestry, and that these have...
The Impacts of Climate and Social Changes on Cloudberry (Bakeapple) Picking: A Case Study from Southeastern Labrador
Resource
Abstract The traditional subsistence activities of Indigenous communities in Canada's subarctic are being affected by the impacts of climate change, compounding the effects of social, economic and...
The Potential of Carbon Nanoparticles as a Stimulant to Improve the Propagation of Native Boreal Forest Species: A Mini-Review
Resource
Boreal forests across Canada and other geographic areas globally have vast networks or densities of seismic lines, pipelines, access roads, utility corridors, and multipurpose trails collectively termed “linear disturbances” or “linear features.”
The Potential of Rock Dust Nanoparticles to Improve Seed Germination and Seedling Vigor of Native Species: A Review
Resource
Land degradation as a result of unregulated mineral exploration and mining, negatively impacts local communities and vulnerable ecosystems.
The Third Generation of Pan-Canadian Wetland Map at 10 m Resolution Using Multisource Earth Observation Data on Cloud Computing Platform
Resource
Development of the Canadian Wetland Inventory Map (CWIM) has thus far proceeded over two generations, reporting the extent and location of bog, fen, swamp, marsh, and water wetlands across the country...

Undermining Subsistence: Barren-Ground Caribou in a “Tragedy of Open Access”
Resource
The paper describes a “tragedy of open access” occurring in Canada’s north as governments open up new areas of sensitive barren-ground caribou habitat to mineral resource development. A growing body of science and traditional knowledge research points to the adverse impacts of resource development; however, management efforts have been almost exclusively focused on controlling the subsistence harvest of northern Indigenous peoples.
Using Integrated Resource Management and the Public Trust Doctrine to Examine Wildlife Management Practices in Northern Labrador: A Case Study on the George River Caribou Hunting Ban
Resource
A master's thesis that explores the impacts to Labrador Inuit of a hunting ban on the George River Caribou Herd, and how these understanding these impacts can inform better wildlife management in the...
