Restoring Drained Peatlands: A Necessary Step to Achieve Global Climate Goals
Resource
Peatlands cover about 400 million hectares (ha), or 3% of the land surface of our planet. Yet they store more carbon, more effectively and for longer periods, than any other ecosystem on land. Intact...
Roads, Logging, and the Large-Mammal Community of an Eastern Canadian Boreal Forest
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...
Soluble Calcium and Sulphate Excesses Related to Stress in Pinus contorta on Peat Amendments of Reclaimed Landscapes in the Boreal Oil Sands Region
Resource
Results indicated a negative relationship among pine performance with increasing soluble calcium and available sulphate-S
Spatial and Temporal Changes in Seasonal Range Attributes in a Declining Barren-ground Caribou Herd
Resource
From 1996 to 2015 the Bathurst caribou herd has declined from approximately 349,000 to 20,000 animals. Aboriginal traditional knowledge (TK) has recently observed the later arrival of the herd below...
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 Essential Carbon Service Provided by Northern Peatlands
Resource
Northern peatlands have cooled the global climate by accumulating large quantities of soil carbon (C) over thousands of years. Maintaining the C sink function of these peatlands and their immense long...
Tools for Arctic Revegetation: What's in Your Toolbox?
Resource
Revegetation in arctic climates is a challenge for many reasons. There are two approaches to arctic revegetation: natural regeneration and active reclamation. Natural regeneration is an inexpensive...
