Controls on Methylmercury Concentrations in Lakes and Streams of Peatland-Rich Catchments Along a 1700 km Permafrost Gradient
Resource
Permafrost thaw may increase the production of neurotoxic methylmercury (MeHg) in northern peatlands, but the downstream delivery of MeHg is uncertain. We quantified total mercury (THg) and MeHg...
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...
Microtopography Matters: Belowground CH4 Cycling Regulated by Differing Microbial Processes in Peatland Hummocks and Lawns
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...
Plant Functional Traits as Indicator of the Ecological Condition of Wetlands in the Grassland and Parkland of Alberta, Canada
Resource
The analysis of functional trait-habitat relationships has been used to measure the degree to which environmental factors influence the assembly of ecological communities. In the Parkland and...
Sublethal Effects of Parasitism on Ruminants Can Have Cascading Consequences for Ecosystems
Resource
Parasitic infections are common, but how they shape ecosystem-level processes is understudied. Using a mathematical model and meta-analysis, we explored the potential for helminth parasites to trigger...
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...
Using GIS and Remote Sensing to Monitor Industrial Impacts to Archaeological Sites in the Athabasca Oil Sands of Alberta
Resource
The Athabasca Oil Sands (AOS) region of Alberta has one of the densest accumulations of known archaeological sites, and possibly the most archaeological sites at risk, in the country. Expanding...
Video - Managing Soil Carbon in Temperate & Boreal Ecosystems
Resource
This presentation discusses managing soil carbon in temperate and boreal ecosystems.
Video - Nutritional Mechanism Impairs Caribou Pregnancy in the Alberta Oil Sands
Resource
At the 14th North American Caribou Workshop held in September 2012, Jonah Keim presented results of research looking into the impact of nutrition on caribou in the Alberta oil sands region.
