The Utilization of Bryophytes in Bioclimatic Modeling: Predicted Northward Migration of Peatlands in the Mackenzie River Basin, Canada, as a Result of Global Warming
TL;DR: In this article, a bioclimatic model based on bryophyte species distribution and abundance relative to climate was coupled with climatic and geographical data obtained from Leemans and Cramer and the Canadian Climate Center (CCC) General Circulation model (GCM) at 1XCO2 in order to reconstruct the present geographical distribution of seven peatland types in the Mackenzie River Basin.

The wetlands of Elk Island National Park: Vegetation classification, water chemistry, and hydrotopographic relationships
TL;DR: The wetlands of Elk Island National Park, located in central Alberta, are characterized by their vegetation and relationships between vegetation, surface water chemistry, and hydrotopographic features such as water level, hummock height, elevation, and the number of inlet and outlet streams as discussed by the authors.

Peatland distibution along a north-south transect in the Mackenzie River Basin in relation to climatic and environmental gradients
TL;DR: In this article, a TWINSPAN analysis of bryophyte abundance from 82 peatlands in the Mackenzie River Basin, seven peatland types, two with southerly geographical distributions are recognized.
