Can Plant or Lichen Natural Abundance 15N Ratios Indicate the Influence of Oil Sands N Emissions on Bogs?
Resource
The 140,329 km 2 Athabasca Oil Sands Administrative Area (OSAA), which contains 8982 km 2 of bogs. Since the late 1970s, N emissions from oil sands development in the OSAA have steadily increased...
Canada Under Fire - Drivers and Impacts of the Record-Breaking 2023 Wildfire Season
Resource
The 2023 wildfire season in Canada was unprecedented in its scale and intensity. Spanning from late April to early November and extending across much of the forested regions of Canada, the season...
Canada Warbler Response to Vegetation Structure on Regenerating Seismic Lines
Resource
Seismic lines have an extensive footprint in Canada's western boreal forest that alter habitat conditions for many species. Seismic lines exist within a range of seral states due to changing practices...
Canada Yew: Developing a Value-Added Crop for Northern Ontario
Resource
Canada yew (Taxus canadensis Marsh.) is a native evergreen shrub found in most of Ontario that contains anticancer compounds called taxanes in its needles, bark, and roots. In 2004, a research project...
Canada’s Forest Biodiversity: A Decade of Progress in Sustainable Management
Resource
This report profiles Canada’s success in conserving forest biodiversity. It also assesses our progress in meeting commitments under the Canadian Biodiversity Strategy.
Canadian and American Indians: An Overview of Approaches to Research
Resource
Research concepts, methodologies and data collection instruments and procedures which are appropriate in white communities might not be so in Indian and Metis communities.
Canadian Carbon Program and Fluxnet Research Sites Canadian Forest Service Ground-Level Research
Resource
Canada’s forests play an important role in the global carbon cycle. Forests exchange carbon dioxide with the atmosphere through the processes of photosynthesis, respiration, and decomposition. The...
Canadian Fieldwork Applications
Resource
Did you know that you can learn to identify and report invasive species, measure trees, and become a citizen scientist all at the touch of your smartphone? Check out this list of free, Canadian field...
Canadian Forests Exposed to the Winds of Change
Resource
With climate change, Canada’s forests will be exposed to rapid changes in their environment, including variations in temperature and precipitation. Tree species will have to migrate to find the...
Canadian Wetland Inventory using Google Earth Engine: The First Map and Preliminary Results
Resource
Although wetlands provide valuable services to humans and the environment and cover a large portion of Canada, there is currently no Canada-wide wetland inventory based on the specifications defined...
Canadian Wildland Fire Prevention and Mitigation Strategy: Taking Action Together
Resource
The Canadian Council of Forest Ministers has spearheaded the development of the Canadian Wildland Fire Prevention and Mitigation Strategy (the Strategy). The Strategy outlines a vision, goals...
Canopy Nitrogen Addition and Soil Warming Affect Conifer Seedlings’ Phenology but Have Limited Impact on Growth and Soil N Mineralization in Boreal Forests of Eastern Canada
Resource
The increase in soil organic matter mineralization rate in boreal forests that may result from global warming is a major concern as it could release large amounts of C to the atmosphere. On the other...
CAN-SAR: A Database of Canadian Species at Risk Information
Resource
Threatened species lists describe the conservation status of species and are key tools used to inform decisions for biodiversity conservation. These lists are rich in information obtained during...
Caragana arborescens Lam. for Afforestation of Oil Sands Reclamation Sites: A Review
Resource
Alberta Forest Service has questioned the use of Caragana arborescens Lam. (caragana) as a high-portion species for afforestation of reclaimed areas associated with oil sands surface mines
Carbon and Nitrogen Mineralization and Microbial Succession in Oil Sands Reclamation Soils Amended with Pyrogenic Carbon
Resource
Rebuilding native forest soils in reclamation will require the use of biochar to stimulate functional similarity to native ecosystems for nutrient availability and microbial community succession
Carbon Dissolution Effects on pH Changes of RAMP Lakes in Northeastern Alberta, Canada
Resource
This study focuses on interpretation of hydrochemistry from 50 lakes thought to be acid sensitive, and so monitored by the Regional Aquatic Monitoring Program (RAMP) over the last two decades. This...
Carbon Gas Exchange, Primary Production and Litter Decomposition of a Restored Fen on a Former Well-Pad
Resource
Over 500,000 oil and gas wells have been drilled in Alberta. Recently updated peatland restoration criteria for well-pads creates incentive for peatland restoration, but little is known about...
Carbon Stocks and Fluxes From a Boreal Conifer Swamp: Filling a Knowledge Gap for Understanding the Boreal C Cycle
Resource
The carbon (C) dynamics of boreal coniferous swamps are a largely understudied component of wetland carbon cycling. We investigated the above- and below-ground carbon stocks and growing season carbon...
