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 Caribou (Rangifer tarandus) Genome
Resource
Paper outlines the sequencing of the genome from a male boreal caribou from Manitoba, Canada.
The Extent and Magnitude of Edge Effects on Woody Vegetation in Road-bisected Treed Peatlands in Boreal Alberta, Canada
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...
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 Role of Introgression and Ecotypic Parallelism in Delineating Intraspecific Conservation Units
Resource
Abstract: Parallel evolution can occur through selection on novel mutations, standing genetic variation or adaptive introgression. Uncovering parallelism and introgressed populations can complicate...

Three Decades of Caribou Recovery Programs in Yukon: A Paradigm Shift in Wildlife Management
Resource
A relatively brief paper published by the Yukon government in 2009, it summarizes the experience of the managing five different Yukon herds (mostly non-migratory). It suggests that both harvest...
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...
Vulnerability Analysis of the Porcupine Caribou Herd to Potential Development of the 1002 Lands in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, Alaska
Resource
A 2019 “vulnerability analysis” on the Porcupine caribou herd (PCH) assessing its vulnerability to oil and gas development in the herd’s calving grounds in Alaska. The analysis found that “...the...
Warming Impacts on Boreal Fen CO2 Exchange Under Wet and Dry Conditions
Resource

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...
Webinar - New Development in Genomics Methods to Inform on Caribou Population Demography
Resource
Information on the size, distribution and trend of wildlife populations are key parameters when assessing the status of wildlife species. Quantifying the impacts of natural and anthropogenic...
“We’re Made Criminals Just to Eat off the Land”: Colonial Wildlife Management and Repercussions on Inuit Well-Being
Resource
This study characterizes Inuit-caribou relationships; explores Inuit perspectives on how caribou have been managed; and identifies opportunities for sustaining the Mealy Mountain Caribou. Abstract...
Wetland Offsetting: Emergent Protocols and Techniques for Prioritizing Site-specific Wetland Services
Resource
Wetland loss in southern Ontario, escalated by development, is putting pressure on planners as they struggle to meet development needs while maintaining a balance with regional natural heritage...
Whole Genome Sequences from Non-invasively Collected Caribou Faecal Samples
Resource
This study presents a method to extract DNA from the mucosal layer of caribou faecal samples to re-sequence high coverage whole genomes. Quality metrics were similar between caribou faecal and tissue
