Online Workshop on Landscape Connectivity Assessment
Event
Event Date and Time
May 16th, 2023 at 10:00am MST to May 16th, 2023 at 12:00pm MST
We invite you to join an end-user workshop to learn about a collaborative NSERC Alliance project (2023-2025) between the University of Toronto and ABMI. The project aims to facilitate structural...
Paleolimnological Assessment of Past Hydro-ecological Variation at a Shallow Hardwater Lake in the Athabasca Oil Sands Region Before Potential Onset of Industrial Development
Resource
Effective environmental monitoring requires knowledge of inherent natural variation. In the absence of pre-development monitoring of aquatic ecosystems, paleolimnological approaches have been...
Partitioning Forest-Floor Respiration into Source Based Emissions in a Boreal Forested Bog: Response to Experimental Drought
Resource
Northern peatlands store globally significant amounts of soil carbon that could be released to the atmosphere under drier conditions induced by climate change. We measured forest floor respiration (R...
Partnering for Caribou Recovery Fall 2014 Update
Resource
To address the issue of increased caribou predation, the ABMI’s Caribou Monitoring Unit (CMU) is currently involved in testing an experimental caribou recovery project, south of Fort McMurray. The CMU...
Petroleum Exploration Increases Methane Emissions from Northern Peatlands
Resource
Peatlands are globally significant sources of atmospheric methane (CH4). In the northern hemisphere, extensive geologic exploration activities have occurred to map petroleum deposits. In peatlands...
Predicting Invasive Plant Response to Climate Change: Prioritization and Mapping of New Potential Threats to Alberta’s Biodiversity
Resource
Assessed 16 potentially new invasive plant species not yet present in Alberta for their invasiveness and climate change-related risk
Preferential Recharge in a Reclaimed Tailings Sand Upland: Implications on Solute Flushing
Resource
Given the potential for moisture limited conditions due to the sub-humid regional climate, ensuring sufficient water availability in these landscapes is a principal concern. This research demonstrates...
Press Release: Agreement Between Pulse Seismic and the ABMI Benefits Research on Seismic Line Recovery in Alberta
News
Organization
Pulse Seismic Inc. (Pulse) and the Alberta Biodiversity Monitoring Institute (ABMI) have signed a data sharing agreement to enhance public information on seismic lines in Alberta.
Prioritizing Zones for Caribou Habitat Restoration in the Canada's Oil Sands Innovation Alliance Area V1.0
Resource
Boreal caribou populations are declining across Alberta and much of their Canadian range. Key factors causing this decline include a warming climate along with habitat change from industrial...
Prioritizing Zones for Caribou Habitat Restoration in the Canada's Oil Sands Innovation Alliance Area V2.0
Resource
Seismic lines and other linear features created by humans are thought to negatively impact woodland caribou. It is estimated that there are c. 100,000 km of conventional seismic lines in caribou...
Prioritizing Zones for Caribou Habitat Restoration in the Canada's Oil Sands Innovation Alliance Area V3.0
Resource
Linear features, including seismic lines, pipelines, transmission lines, roads, railways, and trails are pervasive in Alberta’s boreal forest and have been implicated as a primary factor leading to...
Prioritizing Zones for Caribou Habitat Restoration in the Canada's Oil Sands Innovation Alliance (COSIA) Area V4.0
Resource
Seismic lines and other linear features (roads, railways, trails, transmission lines, pipelines, etc.) are pervasive in Alberta’s boreal forest. It is estimated that there are approximately 100,000 km...
Projected Responses of Alberta Grassland Songbirds to Climate Change
Resource
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
