This study aimed to provide insights into how climate-driven diet shifts may impact contaminant exposures of Arctic species. We compared feeding ecology and contaminant concentrations in ringed seals (Pusa hispida) from two Canadian sub-Arctic (Nain and Arviat) and two Arctic sites (Sachs Harbour...

This audit focused on whether Agriculture and Agri‑Food Canada designed and implemented an approach for how the agriculture sector will contribute to Canada’s 2030 and 2050 greenhouse gas mitigation and sequestration goals, commitments, and targets. This audit also examined whether the department...

The Hudson Bay Lowlands (HBL) is the wettest ecozone in Canada with 80% of its area covered by wetlands. It forms the third largest wetland in the world and is composed almost entirely of permafrost and non-frozen subarctic peatlands that store more carbon in the first 2 m of soil than the total...

The "Starter Kits" of the Canadian Geospatial Data Infrastructure (CGDI) are curated bundles of geospatial data delivered as a service. These kits are the result of a user needs assessment commissioned by Natural Resources Canada (NRCan), with a primary focus on addressing the specific...

ABSTRACT In the coming decades, warming and deoxygenation of marine waters are anticipated to result in shifts in the distribution and abundance of fishes, with consequences for the diversity and composition of fish communities. Here, we combine fisheries-independent trawl survey data spanning...

This database contains the data set described in Andrieux B. et al. (in preparation) about soil organic carbon bioreactivity in Quebec's spruce feathermoss forests. The soil carbon bioreactivity has been evaluated with long-term lab incubations. Carbon density in different soil functional...

This audit focused on whether Natural Resources Canada, working with Environment and Climate Change Canada, designed and implemented the 2 Billion Trees Program adequately and estimated and reported on historical and future forest-sector carbon emissions and removals credibly and transparently.

This audit focused on whether selected regulations administered by Environment and Climate Change Canada achieved their greenhouse gas emission reduction targets and contributed as intended to Canada’s long-term climate change mitigation goals.
