title: Stormwater ponds as habitat for Odonata in urban areas: the importance of obligate wetland plant species

description: Urbanization significantly alters hydrological regimes in cities by reducing infiltration rates and increasing runoff. Stormwater ponds have been constructed in North American cities to mitigate the effects of increased urban runoff by dampening floods and filtering out contaminants. However, these ponds may also provide habitat for wetland species in cities. This study aimed at determining the significance of stormwater ponds as attractive habitats for the adult stages of Odonata (dragonflies and damselflies), widely considered bioindicators of aquatic and wetland ecosystem health. A total of 41 urban stormwater ponds and ten rural natural ponds were sampled across the National Capital Region of Canada. On average, stormwater ponds had fewer species and lower abundance of dragonflies but, in contrast, more species of damselflies. Stormwater ponds had a higher total plant species richness because of a higher number of non-native species. However, some stormwater ponds had similar odonate and plant species assemblages to natural ponds. The variation in odonate abundance and species composition was largely explained by plant community composition and significantly linked to the presence of specific obligate wetland plant species. Overall, this study highlights the importance of wetland features in cities and points to design elements of stormwater ponds that could be implemented to enhance biodiversity and ecosystem services.

This data file contains soil nitrogen availability, carbon dioxide exchange, and environmental measurements of a High Arctic wetland across the growing seasons of 2016, 2017, and 2018. Soil inorganic nitrogen concentrations were measured by ion exchange resin membranes and analyzed using automated flow colourimetry. Net ecosystem exchange and ecosystem respiration were measured using closed, static chambers according to methods in Beamish et al. (2014). Environmental measurements (soil moisture, soil temperature, and active layer depth) were taken twice weekly at site adjacent to the locations of the ion exchange resins.

title: Growing season trace gas and environmental measurements at an experimentally-warmed mesic tundra site

description: The data set was collected as an ongoing study at the Cape Bounty Arctic Watershed Observatory International Tundra Experiment (ITEX) site examining the environmental controls over trace gas respiration in High Arctic mesic tundra. The goal of the study is to characterize the relationships between plant-available nitrogen and productivity and to see how these relationships are manifested in hyperspectral signatures. These data files contain trace gas concentrations and environmental measurements from an ITEX mesic tundra experiment. Snow fences were set up at two sites of each replicate to determine the effect of snow depth on soil respiration. Four treatments were sampled with eight replicates: snow-control, snow-warmed, control-control, and control-warmed. PVC collars (20 cm diameter) were placed on the ground from which opaque, static, non-steady state chambers were used to obtain a 25 mL sample in 12-mL pre-evacuated glass vials (Exetainer 739B, Labco Limited, Buckinghamshire, UK). Vials were analyzed using gas chromatography according to methods by Wilson and Humphreys (2010). Environmental measurements (soil moisture, soil temperature, and active layer depth) were taken twice weekly at site adjacent to the collars.

title: Carbon Dioxide Exchange at the Cape Bounty Arctic Watershed Observatory (CBAWO), Melville Island, NU (2014)

description: To better understand CO2 exchange in wet sedge soils at the Cape Bounty Arctic Watershed Observatory (CBAWO), Melville Island, NU – data was collected using Automated Soil CO2 Exchange (ACE) Stations. Three pairs - transparent and opaque - of ACE Stations were used to measure CO2 exchange at Cape Bounty Arctic Watershed Observatory (CBAWO) across three different soil conditions. This allowed for possible factors controlling CO2 exchange of wet sedge sites to be interpreted. These stations were run from June 15, 2014 till July 30, 2014. The ACE stations were set to sample for three-minutes (18 ten-second intervals) every 30-minutes. Furthermore, photosynthetically active radiation (PAR) and net CO2 exchange rate (NCER) were also collected. Collection of this data has allowed for exploration of the different temporal variabilities in CO2 exchange at these wet sedge areas at a range of scales. Use of this data helped support the conclusion of CO2 storage in wet sedge meadows.

title: CHaNGE: Coastal Hydrodynamics and Natural Geologic Evolution

description: Pamlico Sound, a large back-barrier estuary in North Carolina, is under threat of climate change due to increased storm activity and sea-level rise. The response of this system is investigated byconsidering what has already happened during changes in sea-level over the late Holocene epoch. The hydrodynamic changes that occurred in response to geomorphic evolution are simulated using a 3D numericalmodel for four distinct ‘time-slice’ scenarios. To accomplish this, the present-day bathymetry was obtained from a high resolution digital elevation model, and paleo-bathymetric grids were developed from sediment cores and seismic observations. Using the same hydrodynamic forcing for each geomorphic scenario, the models are compared to assess the combined response to: different inletsconnecting the back-barrier estuary to the ocean; changes in basin geomorphology due to sedimentation; and sea-level rise. The results indicate that these factors have a considerable effect onhydrodynamics, waves, and salinity in the estuary. The time-averaged tidal ranges were up to three times as high for the past environments in comparison with present day water level elevations, and maximumcurrent velocities were over three times higher in regions close to paleo-inlets. The simulations for each time-slice suggest that the salinity distribution in Pamlico Sound is strongly influenced bythe hydraulic connectivity with other estuaries, and the number and size of tidal inlets through the barrier island system. The results indicate that changes to barrier systems induce strong, non-uniformand complex responses in back-barrier estuaries with regime-shifts in hydrodynamic energy and water mass properties.

title: A Comprehensive Global Database of Tailings Flows

description: Tailings are finely ground waste rock produced as a by-product of standard mining projects as well as some industrial and power plant operations. Tailings are conventionally impounded behind a dam that is raised perpetually insofar as operations continue, thus amassing large volumes of materials (sometimes including supernatant pond water) in the process. The failures of some tailings impoundments have triggered downstream mass movements that have caused human, economic and environmental impacts, thus inviting considerable public attention and scrutiny. Developing a detailed inventory of these “tailings flows” facilitates a better understanding of the magnitude-frequency statistics, preconditioning and trigger variables, breach-outflow processes and downstream runout behaviour. Upon screening over 350 historical waste impoundment failure incidents in pre-existing secondary datasets, we have developed a comprehensive global database of 63 tailings flows from 1928-2020 while following strict case selection criteria with the support of satellite imagery, digital elevation models (DEMs) and source literature. Using a novel runout zonation method, the satellite images and DEMs were analyzed on geographic information systems (GIS) platforms to independently estimate runout distances, inundation areas and travel path angles of tailings flows. Depending on data availability or quality, we also summarized the background information, impoundment conditions and geotechnical indices to provide site-specific context to case histories. The collated data is aimed to (i) broaden the scholarly understanding of tailings breach-runout behaviour, (ii) provide comprehensive documentation while assessing the limitations of data availability and/or quality in the public domain and (iii) establish a consistent framework for reporting various properties of tailings dam failures and tailings flows. Lastly, we note that the data should be treated with prudence. Tailings impoundments are highly variable depending on the locality, and site-specific conditions exert strong controls on post-breach behaviour. As such, it is recommended that our database be used purely as a basis for screening-level assessments, case analog comparisons and academic research. For site-specific prediction studies undertaken by practitioners, targeted field observations, laboratory investigations and numerical models are essential.
