Canada’s diverse landscapes and ecosystems play a critical role in regulating global ecosystem processes, including but not limited to carbon cycling, water and nutrient dynamics, and biodiversity. These interconnected processes offer unique opportunities for nature-based climate solutions (NbCS). This session will highlight cutting-edge research and initiatives that span the continuum of distributed data collection from community science to network science, advancing our understanding of greenhouse gas (GHG) dynamics and broader ecosystem functions across Canadian ecosystems, and their potential to serve as NbCS. Featuring initiatives such as Can-Peat, CARBONIQUE, CanN2ONet, and other collaborative efforts, we aim to explore how integrative approaches—linking community-based observations, data sharing, remote sensing, and modeling—can inform evidence-based strategies for climate mitigation and adaptation. This session invites submissions from researchers across disciplines that highlight collaborative efforts driving actionable solutions for GHG management, ecosystem resilience, and climate science.
