Peat Depth as a Control on Sphagnum Moisture Stress During Seasonal Drought
Resource
A critical ‘threshold’ peat depth specific for different hydrogeological and hydroclimatic regions can be used to assess what peatlands are especially vulnerable to climate change mediated drought.
Peat Surface Compression Reduces Smouldering Fire Potential as a Novel Fuel Treatment for Boreal Peatlands
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...
Peat Swamp Hydrological Connectivity and Runoff Vary by Hydrogeomorphic Setting: Implications for Carbon Storage
Resource
Despite their importance in carbon cycling and catchment runoff dynamics, the hydrology of temperate peat swamps in response to changing hydrometeorological conditions is largely understudied. We...
Pollution timebombs: Contaminated wetlands are ticking towards ignition
News
Organization
Wetlands across the globe have long served as natural repositories for humanity’s toxic legacy, absorbing and retaining hundreds to thousands of years’ worth of pollution. These swampy vaults have...
Predator and Prey in Harvest Blocks: Implications for Caribou and Forestry
Resource
This infographic by Sunny Tseng describes the key results from a paper by Tracy McKay and Dr. Laura Finnegan. Deer, elk, and moose are apparent competitors for caribou because they draw predators...
Predator–prey Co-occurrence in Harvest Blocks: Implications for Caribou and Forestry
Resource
Forest harvesting alters habitat, impacts wildlife, and disrupts ecosystem function. Across the boreal forest of Canada, forest harvesting affects ungulate prey species and their predators, with...
Predator-Prey Co-occurrence in Harvest Blocks: Implications for Caribou and Forestry
Resource
Forest harvesting alters habitat, impacts wildlife, and disrupts ecosystem function. Across the boreal forest of Canada, forest harvesting affects ungulate prey species and their predators, with...
Predator-Prey Co-occurrence in Harvest Blocks: Implications for Caribou and Forestry - Summary
Resource
We investigated the attributes of harvest blocks associated with the highest occupancy and/or co-occurrence of ungulates and predators, with the goal of providing practical information for best forest...
Predicting Off-Highway Vehicle Use on Seismic Lines
Resource
This infographic was created by Jennifer Hird as part of the paper " Motorized Activity on Legacy Seismic Lines: A Predictive Modeling Approach to Prioritize Restoration Efforts."
Primary Drivers of Reptile Overwintering Habitat Suitability: Integrating Wetland Ecohydrology and Spatial Complexity
Resource
Identifying ecosystems resilient to climate and land-use changes is recognized as essential for conservation strategies. However, wetland ecosystems may respond differently to stressors depending on...
Proceedings of a Workshop to Develop a Strategic Plan for a Watershed Assessment Model (WAM)
Resource
Report of proceedings from a workshop to produce a strategic plan for developing a Watershed Assessment Model and identifying key project events.
Resource Roads and Wetlands: A Guide for Planning, Construction, and Maintenance
Resource
This guide contains best management practices that help plan, construct and maintain resource roads in forested environments in order to maintain the movement of water in wetlands.
Resource Roads and Wetlands: Practical Applications to Maintain Hydrologic Connectivity
Resource
This presentation highlights planning and operations applications of water management techniques for resource roads crossing wetlands.
Response of Wildlife to Restored Wellsites
Project
Organization:
Many wellsites have been certified as reclaimed, but their condition varies. This project will assess wildlife use of wellsites to understand how restoration treatments contribute to important species...
Restoration of Seismic Cutlines in Caribou Range in West-central and North-western Alberta: Maximizing Success and Targeting Areas Used by Alternative Prey
Project
Contact
Organization:
This single year Habitat Stewardship Program Species at Risk Stream project will improve threatened boreal caribou and endangered southern mountain caribou habitat by increasing undisturbed habitat...
Review of Alberta's Integrated Land Management Policies, Practices and Legislation
Project
Organization:
This initiative evaluated several cases of the latest efforts in resource and land policy integration, combined with a literature review, and interviews with 32 subject matter experts (SME’s) from...
Seismic Lines in Treed Boreal Peatlands as Analogs for Wildfire Fuel Modification Treatments
Resource
Across the Boreal, there is an expansive wildland–society interface (WSI), where communities, infrastructure, and industry border natural ecosystems, exposing them to the impacts of natural...
