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 Ongoing Lateral Expansion of Peatlands in Finland
Resource
Peatlands are the most dense terrestrial carbon stock and since the last glacial epoch northern peatlands have accumulated between 400 and 1000 Gt of carbon. Although the horizontal development...
The Scale of Effect of Landscape Context Varies with the Species’ Response Variable Measured
Resource
Abstract: Context To detect an effect of landscape context on a species’ response, the landscape variables need to be measured within the appropriate distance from the species’ response, i.e. at the...
The Spatial Scale of a Species’ Response to the Landscape Context Depends on which Biological Response You Measure
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...
"Two-Eyed Seeing": An Indigenous Framework to Transform Fisheries Research and Management
Resource
Increasingly, fisheries researchers and managers seek or are compelled to “bridge” Indigenous knowledge systems with Western scientific approaches to understanding and governing fisheries. Here, we...
Variation in Photosynthetic Properties Among Bog Plants
Resource
Plant functional types (PFTs) are used to make generalizations in modeling how plants impact ecosystem functioning. In boreal bogs the number of plant species is small, but several PFTs are...
Warming Impacts on Boreal Fen CO2 Exchange Under Wet and Dry Conditions
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...
Warming Response of Peatland CO2 Sink is Sensitive to Seasonality in Warming Trends
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 Level Drawdown Makes Boreal Peatland Vegetation More Responsive to Weather Conditions
Resource
Abstract Climate warming and projected increase in summer droughts puts northern peatlands under pressure by subjecting them to a combination of gradual drying and extreme weather events. The combined...
Weaving Indigenous Knowledge Systems and Western Sciences in Terrestrial Research, Monitoring and Management in Canada: A Protocol for a Systematic Map
Resource
Human activities and development have contributed to declines in biodiversity across the globe. Understanding and addressing biodiversity loss will require the mobilization of diverse knowledge...
Webinar - Boreal Caribou Winter Range in the Central Mackenzie Valley, NWT: What is it, How Can We Manage For it Proactively?
Resource
Join us to explore the latest research supporting caribou recovery in Canada—from general ecology, to the mechanisms of caribou declines, to potential recovery options. The series begins with a...
Webinar - Demographic Responses of Threatened Woodland Caribou to Annual Variation in Meteorological and Phenological Conditions
Resource
Climate change is expected to increasingly impact populations of woodland caribou and much focus has been placed on how a warming climate has facilitated the northward expansion of apparent...
Webinar - Future Directions on Caribou Monitoring and Conservation
Resource
In the firth episode of ABMI's bi-weekly webinar series called 'Our Nature to Know', Melanie Dickie presents ABMI's Future Directions on Caribou Monitoring and Conservation. In this presentation...
Webinar - Indigenizing Science Part 1: Perspectives on Bioethics and Research Implications and Part 2: Indigenizing Science: Chronic Wasting Disease
Resource
Environmental and biological sciences are often siloed from examining Indigenous-related concerns, which can compromise Indigenous rights. Learning about braiding Indigenous ways of knowing and...
Webinar - Movement, Energetics, and Demography of Norwegian Reindeer
Resource
In Norway, reindeer are fragmented into roughly 23 wild populations and 76 semi-domestic herding districts. The variation in forage quantity, migratory behaviour, and demography across these...
Webinar - Recovery Actions for Woodland Caribou: Predicting and Testing the Efficacy of Habitat Restoration
Resource
Anthropogenic habitat alteration via land conversion directly reduces habitat availability and disrupts ecological processes. Western Canada’s boreal forest has undergone rapid landscape change as a...
Webinar - Seasonal Patterns of Mortality for Boreal Caribou in the Southern Northwest Territories
Resource
Seasonality is an important component in shaping the dynamics that influence ecosystems, including mortality. We investigated temporal patterns of mortality in the boreal ecotype of woodland caribou (...
Webinar - Testing the Efficacy of Linear Restoration for Caribou Recovery in the Birch Mountains, Alberta Partnering for Restoration Success
Resource
Effective restoration and monitoring of biodiversity on working landscapes requires sustained efforts from multiple sectors, stakeholders and rights holders. Importantly, such efforts are not legal...
