Abstract

"Wetlands ofthe western boreal forest are poorly studied.In the last decade (1990-2000) there were approximately 1810
northern hemisphere scientific papers published addressing boreal wetlands,tundra,taiga,or bogs.We explore the extent
ofunderstanding and impacts ofsix major agents ofchange affecting forested wetlands ofthe boreal zone:(1) commer-
cial forestry,(2) petroleum extraction,(3) mining (bitumen,coal,peat,ore,and diamonds),(4) agriculture,(5) climate
change, and (6) hydrologic alteration. Finally, we address the social context, costs, and recommendations for wetland
maintenance.
