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

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 Climatology of the Alberta Oil Sands Environmental Research Program Study Area
Resource
Winters are cold with relatively little snow. About two-thirds of the precipitation falls in the summer months with several major rainstorms generally accounting for much of the seasonal rain
The Density of Anthropogenic Features Explains Seasonal and Behaviour-based Functional Responses in Selection of Linear Features by a Social Predator
Resource
Anthropogenic linear features facilitate access and travel efficiency for predators, and can influence predator distribution and encounter rates with prey. We used GPS collar data from eight wolf...
