Large Herbivores Facilitate the Persistence of Rare Taxa Under Tundra Warming
Resource
Ecological rarity, characterized by low abundance or limited distribution, is typical of most species, yet our understanding of what factors contribute to the persistence of rare species remains...
IPCC Sixth Assessment Report: Working Group II Contribution
Resource
Climate Change 2022: Impacts, Adaptation and Vulnerability The Working Group II contribution to the IPCC Sixth Assessment Report assesses the impacts of climate change, looking at ecosystems...
Transforming Biodiversity Governance
Resource
Over fifty years of global conservation has failed to bend the curve of biodiversity loss, so we need to transform the ways we govern biodiversity. The UN Convention on Biological Diversity aims to...
The Potential of Carbon Nanoparticles as a Stimulant to Improve the Propagation of Native Boreal Forest Species: A Mini-Review
Resource
Boreal forests across Canada and other geographic areas globally have vast networks or densities of seismic lines, pipelines, access roads, utility corridors, and multipurpose trails collectively termed “linear disturbances” or “linear features.”
Caribou and wind turbines (Kivalliq region) - an overview of available information
Resource
A 22 slide presentation (exported as a pdf) providing an overview of effects of wind turbine development on Caribou.
How Mounds are Made Matters: Seismic Line Restoration Techniques Affect Peat Physical and Chemical Properties Throughout the Peat Profile
Resource
This resource is available on an external database and may require a paid subscription to access it. It is included on the CCLM to support our goal of capturing and sharing the breadth of all...
BERA News Fall 2022
Resource
Understanding how birds respond to landscape disturbance is key to effective restoration. Two studies used non-invasive microphone arrays to determine the exact locations of singing individuals in the...
The Edge 2022 (BERA Systhesis)
Resource
The central goal of the Boreal Ecosystem Recovery and Assessment (BERA) program is to understand the effects of industrial disturbance on natural ecosystem dynamics, and to develop strategies for...
Assessing Post-harvest Interim Seed Storage Conditions: A Case Study of Four Boreal Plant Species
Resource
The longevity of seeds in storage is modulated by the initial quality as well as the storage conditions.
Contributions and Perspectives of Indigenous Peoples to the Study of Mercury in the Arctic
Resource
Arctic Indigenous Peoples are among the most exposed humans when it comes to foodborne mercury (Hg). In response, Hg monitoring and research have been on-going in the circumpolar Arctic since about...
Weighing the Importance of Animal Body Size in Traditional Food Systems
Resource
Traditional food systems based on harvest from the local environment are fundamental to the well-being of many communities, but their security is challenged by rapid socio-ecological change. We...
Kitaskino Nuwenëné Wildland Expansion Fact Sheet
Resource
The Kitaskino Nuwenëné Wildland has now been expanded, adding around 152,000 hectares to the largest contiguous area of protected land in the world. The expanded area was previously managed as Green...
Integrating Indigenous and Scientific Perspectives on Environmental Changes: Insights from Boreal Landscapes
Resource
This study compares the perspectives of Indigenous and scientific communities on environmental changes in boreal landscapes of Quebec, Canada to determine where collaboration between Indigenous...
Effects of Wildfire and Soil Compaction on Recovery of Narrow Linear Disturbances in Upland Mesic Boreal Forests
Resource
Energy exploration has led to fragmentation of habitats worldwide. In boreal forests of Alberta, Canada narrow clear-cut linear disturbances (3–14 m wide) called seismic lines are often the largest...
Mapping Degrading Dendritic Peat Plateaus, NWT, Canada
Resource
In the discontinuous permafrost zone, thermokarst lakes and thermal erosion are widespread and common permafrost thaw-related phenomena. Thermokarst features are indicative of thaw sensitive...
Canada Warbler Response to Vegetation Structure on Regenerating Seismic Lines
Resource
Seismic lines have an extensive footprint in Canada's western boreal forest that alter habitat conditions for many species. Seismic lines exist within a range of seral states due to changing practices...
Mounding Treatments Set Back Bryophyte Recovery on Linear Disturbances in Treed Peatlands
Resource
Treed peatlands are dominated by bryophytes, particularly Sphagnum spp., which create the characteristic hummock-hollow microtopography. This, in turn, shapes the distribution of bryophyte communities...
Relative Importance for Lincoln’s Sparrow (Melospiza lincolnii) Occupancy of Vegetation Type versus Noise Caused by Industrial Development
Resource
Anthropogenic noise can create an acoustic environment detrimental for animals that communicate using acoustic signals. Currently, most studies of noise and wildlife come from traffic noise in cities...
