This report provides a broad overview of how Alberta species are likely to be affected by climate change by the 2050s. Amphibians were consistently found to be the most vulnerable to climate change

Although ecological transitions are expected to be widespread, under even the least-change climate scenario, ecological change is not synonymous with the loss of biodiversity.

Climate suitability projections, and current distribution of grassland and cropland habitats in Alberta suggest that some climate-mediated range expansion of grassland songbirds is possible

The Alberta Ferruginous Hawk Recovery Plan 2009 – 2014 identifies climate change as a factor potentially threatening the recovery of the species in Alberta.

The Biodiversity Management and Climate Change Adaptation project has produced a comprehensive, evidence-based, and original examination of the effects of climate change on Alberta’s biodiversity

Use of ABMI samples to understand genetic variation and changes in genetic structure is identified as an area where ABMI data can be used to understand how biodiversity is adapting to climate change

I will introduce ABMI’s Ecological Recovery Monitoring program, which is establishing long-term monitoring protocols to assess ecological recovery at certified reclaimed wellsites across Alberta

Determining appropriate indicators for measuring and monitoring reclamation success and ecological recovery rates can be challenging and often involves trade-offs.

I will demonstrate how data from ABMI can be combined with designed research studies to answer questions at spatial scales and temporal extents that are not possible for a single researcher to achieve

This book describes the traditional Native American uses of more than 200 plants from Northern forests. Over 100 elders contributed information that they felt should be shared with other communities...
