Large Stocks of Peatland Carbon and Nitrogen are Vulnerable to Permafrost Thaw
Resource
Northern peatlands have accumulated large stocks of organic carbon (C) and nitrogen (N), but their spatial distribution and vulnerability to climate warming remain uncertain. Here, we used machine...
Large-scale Probabilistic Identification of Boreal Peatlands Using Google Earth Engine, Open-access Satellite Data, and Machine Learning
Resource
The resulting peatland occurrence model shows an accuracy of 87% compared to our validation data set. Differentiating peatlands from mineral wetlands achieved an accuracy of 69%.
Leveraging Genomics Tools to Explore Relationships Between Agriculture, Biodiversity and Waterfowl Productivity in Prairie Wetlands
Resource
Environmental genomics is a research method that sequences DNA from samples collected from the environment (e.g. wetlands, water, soil, organisms, etc.). This method can accelerate species...
Limited Impacts of Extensive Human Land Use on Dominance, Specialization, and Biotic Homogenization in Boreal Plant Communities
Resource
Rank species occupancy curves revealed high species dominance regardless of disturbance: within any disturbance class a few species occupied nearly every site and most species were found in a low...
Low-impact Line Construction Retains and Speeds Recovery of Trees on Seismic Lines in Forested Peatlands
Resource
Seismic lines, linear features originating from the oil and gas industry for energy exploration, pose a substantial management challenge due to their collective impact on biogeochemical cycles, plant...
Making WildTrax: It’s (Not) a Kind of Magic – Behind the Screen
News
Organization
WildTrax is one major piece of software – your one-stop online platform for managing, storing, processing, sharing and discovering biological and environmental sensor data. In other words, WildTrax is...
Map Gallery: Climate Change Impact Projections for Boreal Songbirds
Resource
Bioclimatic niche models of current avian distribution and density for 80 boreal-breeding songbird species are mapped based on present counts and climate change models
Modeled Production, Oxidation, and Transport Processes of Wetland Methane Emissions in Temperate, Boreal, and Arctic Regions

Modelling the Pre-Anthropogenic Distribution of Wetlands in the Boreal Natural Region
Resource
This research poster describes a model used to assess pre-anthropogenic distribution of wetlands in the Lower Athabasca Region. Presented at the NAIT 7th Seminar on Linear Disturbance Impacts on...

Moose, Caribou, and Fire: Have We Got it Right Yet?
Resource
Natural disturbance plays a key role in shaping community dynamics. Within Canadian boreal forests, the dominant form of natural disturbance is fire, and its effects are thought to influence the...

We invite you to join an end-user workshop to learn about a collaborative NSERC Alliance project (2023-2025) between the University of Toronto and ABMI. The project aims to facilitate structural...
Partnering for Caribou Recovery Fall 2014 Update
Resource
To address the issue of increased caribou predation, the ABMI’s Caribou Monitoring Unit (CMU) is currently involved in testing an experimental caribou recovery project, south of Fort McMurray. The CMU...
Permafrost Thaw Causes Large Carbon Loss in Boreal Peatlands While Changes to Peat Quality are Limited
Resource
Rapid, ongoing permafrost thaw of peatlands in the discontinuous permafrost zone is exposing a globally significant store of soil carbon (C) to microbial processes. Mineralization and release of this...
