Boreal peatlands in the discontinuous permafrost zone of Canada Dr. David Olefeldt, University of Alberta Peatlands cover 12% of Canada, and a majority of Canadian peatlands are found in regions with...
Oil Sands Research and Information Network
Project
Organization:
The Oil Sands Research and Information Network (OSRIN) is a now closed (2009-2014) project of the University of Alberta’s School of Energy and the Environment (SEE) It was a university-based...
Peatlands Promote Fire Refugia In Boreal Forests Of Northern Alberta, Canada
Resource
Abstract In the boreal forests of North America, large wildfires often leave residual patches of unburned vegetation, termed fire refugia, which can affect post-fire ecosystem processes. Although...
Peatlands Reduce Fire Severity and Promote Fire Refugia in Boreal Forests
News
Contact
In the boreal biome of North America, large wildfires usually leave behind residual patches of unburned vegetation, termed refugia, which can strongly affect post-fire ecosystem processes. While...
Permafrost Thaw Causes Large Carbon Loss in Boreal Peatlands While Changes to Peat Quality are Limited
Resource
Rapid, ongoing permafrost thaw of peatlands in the discontinuous permafrost zone is exposing a globally significant store of soil carbon (C) to microbial processes. Mineralization and release of this...
Phytoremediation of Metals in Oil Sands Process Affected Water by Native Wetland Species
Resource
Process affected water and other industrial wastewaters are a major environmental concern. During oil sands mining, large amounts of oil sands process affected water (OSPW) are generated and stored in...
Plant Functional Traits as Indicator of the Ecological Condition of Wetlands in the Grassland and Parkland of Alberta, Canada
Resource
The analysis of functional trait-habitat relationships has been used to measure the degree to which environmental factors influence the assembly of ecological communities. In the Parkland and...
Potential of Macrophytes for Wastewater Remediation with Constructed Floating Wetlands in Cold Climates
Resource
Nature-based, low technology wastewater treatment systems can benefit small and remote communities. Adding a constructed floating wetland (CFW) to waste stabilization ponds can enhance treatment...
Rat Root Plants May Not be Suitable for Reclaiming Oil Sands Tailing Ponds
Resource
This study tested the ability of rat root to grow in a high pH/high salinity environment, similar to that of a constructed oil sands tailings pond wetland.
Recent Climate Change has Driven Divergent Hydrological Shifts in High-latitude Peatlands
Resource
High-latitude peatlands are changing rapidly in response to climate change, including permafrost thaw. Here, we reconstruct hydrological conditions since the seventeenth century using testate amoeba...

Revegetation of Fen Peatlands Following Oil and Gas Extraction in Northern Alberta
Resource
A field experiment from 2012 to 2013 at two locations in northeastern Alberta examined the short-term success of different fen revegetation strategies following the removal of infrastructure (road and...
Sampling, Handling, and Preparation of Peat Cores From Bogs: Review of Recent Progress and Perspectives for Trace Element Research
Resource
Peat bogs are valuable archives of environmental change, including climate history, landscape evolution, and atmospheric deposition of trace elements, fallout radionuclides, and organic contaminants...
