We used eddy covariance; gas-exchange chambers; radiocarbon analysis; wood, moss, and soil inventories; and laboratory incubations to measure the carbon balance of a 120-year-old black spruce forest in Manitoba, Canada. The site lost 0.3 6 0.5 metric ton of carbon per hectare per year (ton C ha21

.1 to 1.6°C at 700 hPa) has increased summer mean ice surface temperatures and melt season length on the major ice caps in this region by 0.8 to 2.2°C and 4.7 to 11.9 d respectively. 30–48 % of the total mass lost from 4 monitored glaciers since 1963 has occurred since 2005. The mean rate of mass loss

Background: We aimed to characterize changes in patterns of new HIV diagnoses, HIV-related mortality, and HAART use in Canada from 1995 to 2008. Methods: Data on new HIV diagnoses were obtained from Health Canada, HIV-related mortality statistics were obtained from Statistics Canada

for enrollment in the Diabetes Control and Complications Trial (DCCT), were categorized as treated in the U.S. (n 2,604) or Canada (n 245). HbA1c levels were compared between U.S. and Canadian patients, both before and after adjustment for predictors of HbA1c. RESULTS — In general, volunteers screened

The prevalence of infection has diminished markedly over the past several decades in Canada, as in most other industrialized countries, but can be found in up to 80% of the population in some developing
