Collaborative Landscape Data to Support Woodland Caribou Recovery Planning in Northwestern Alberta
Resource
We collected high-resolution aerial imagery and associated ground-truthed data from four sampling blocks in two caribou ranges to assess human footprint accuracy and state of vegetation recovery.
Collaborative research and monitoring of migratory Eastern Cape Chruchill caribou
Project
Organization:
The Cape Churchill caribou herd, part of the Eastern Migratory caribou population, resides along the western coast of Hudson Bay and has been largely unstudied. However, they are locally important to...
Columbia Mountains Caribou Research Project
Project
Contact
Organization:
Project Description: Beginning in 2003, moose populations were intentionally reduced by increased hunting pressure as an indirect way of reducing wolf numbers — fewer moose on the landscape means...
Comparing Deep Learning and Shallow Learning for Large-Scale Wetland Classification in Alberta, Canada
Resource
Developed two wetland inventory style products for a large (397,958 km2) area in the Boreal Forest region of Alberta, Canada, using Sentinel-1, Sentinel-2, and ALOS DEM data
Comparison of Sampling Techniques to Monitor Stream Amphibian Communities in Forested Regions of Alberta
Resource
Objective was to compare the effectiveness of four commonly used sampling techniques (pitfall traps, funnel traps, visual searches and call surveys) to detect stream amphibian communities.
Conserving Alberta’s Biodiversity Under Climate Change: A Review and Analysis of Adaptation Measures
Resource
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.
Controls on Plot-Scale Growing Season CO2 and CH4 Fluxes in Restored Peatlands: Do They Differ From Unrestored and Natural Sites?
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...
Corridors or Risk? Movement Along, and Use of, Linear Features Vary Predictably Among Large Mammal Predator and Prey Species
Resource
The objective of this study is to evaluate wolf, black bear, moose and caribou responses to anthropogenic linear features, attempting to determine whether these features are perceived as movement...
Creating a Detailed Wetland Inventory with Sentinel-2 Time-Series Data and Google Earth Engine in the Prairie Pothole Region of Canada
Resource
Wetlands in the Prairie Pothole Region (PPR) of Canada and the United States represent a unique mapping challenge. They are dynamic both seasonally and year-to-year, are very small, and frequently...
Critical Remote Sensing Targets for Boreal Wetlands Research and Management
Resource
This presentation discusses remote sensing to assess groundwater, microtopogpraphy and above-ground biomass, as well as wetland management. Presented at the NAIT 7th Seminar on Linear Disturbance...
Defining Parasite Biodiversity at High Latitudes of North America: New Host and Geographic Records for Onchocerca Cervipedis (Nematoda: Onchocercidae) in Moose and Caribou
Resource
Onchocerca cervipedis is a filarioid nematode of cervids reported from Central America to boreal regions of North America. It is found primarily in subcutaneous tissues of the legs, and is more...
Demographic Declines Over Time and Variable Responses of Breeding Bird Populations to Human Footprint in the Athabasca Oil Sands Region, Alberta, Canada
Resource
Habitat loss and disturbance from industrial resource development may be contributing to declines in boreal bird populations. We applied hierarchical multi-species models to data from 31 bird species...
Demographic Responses of a Threatened, Low-density Ungulate to Annual Variation in Meteorological and Phenological Conditions
Resource
Study highlights the increased relevance of recovery actions when adverse climatic conditions are likely to negatively affect caribou demography.
Detection of Coniferous Seedlings in UAV Imagery
Resource
Rapid assessment of forest regeneration using unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) is likely to decrease the cost of establishment surveys in a variety of resource industries. This research tests the...
Developing Allometric Equations for Estimating Shrub Biomass in a Boreal Fen
Resource
This study develops allometric equations for three dominant genera found in boreal fens: Alnus spp. (alder), Salix spp. (willow) and Betula pumila (bog birch).
Developing Monitoring Protocols for Aquatic Ecosystems in Forested Regions of Alberta
Resource
This report is part of a larger endeavor to develop a monitoring program capable of detecting changes in the biological diversity of Alberta’s forested region.
Development of a Recovery Index to Quantify Ecological Recovery of Reclaimed Wellsites
Resource
Long-term monitoring of some sites would ultimately be needed to show that recovering wellsites are on a trajectory that consistently leads to full recovery.
Distribution and Abundance of Macrobenthos in the Athabasca River Near Fort McMurray
Resource
348 benthic macroinvertebrate samples collected at 16 sites along 85 km of the Athabasca River between Fort McMurray and the Ells River. total of 27229 specimens belonging to 68 taxonomic groups
