Article Synopsis
- Boreal wetlands are threatened by human activities like oil sands extraction, but fewer studies focus on how various types of development affect wetland plant communities.
- Despite only about 20% of the oil sands regions being developed, anthropogenic activities were negatively associated with plant community health, suggesting that wetlands near human development mainly support generalist plant species.
- The impact of energy and mining development was less clear, indicating that while it affects wetlands, its direct consequences may be limited due to the small physical footprint of these operations within the larger oil sands area.
