Assessing the Cumulative Impacts of Forest Management on Forest Age Structure Development and Woodland Caribou Habitat in Boreal Landscapes: A Case Study from Two Canadian Provinces
Resource
The Canadian boreal forest biome has been subjected to a long history of management for wood production. Here, we examined the cumulative impacts of logging on older forests in terms of area...
Climate Change Alone Cannot Explain Boreal Caribou Range Recession in Quebec Since 1850
Resource
Abstract The contraction of species range is one of the most significant symptoms of biodiversity loss worldwide. While anthropogenic activities and habitat alteration are major threats for several...
Demographic Responses of Boreal Caribou to Cumulative Disturbances Highlight Elasticity of Range-specific Tolerance Thresholds
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...
Drivers of Vegetation Regrowth on Logging Roads in the Boreal Forest: Implications for Restoration of Woodland Caribou Habitat
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...
Ecosystem Management in Paludified Boreal Forests: Enhancing Wood Production, Biodiversity, and Carbon Sequestration at the Landscape Level
Resource
Canada’s boreal forest represents an important contributor of the world’s wood supply industry. However, maintaining or increasing productivity of the boreal forest may be challenging in areas...
Global Change Risks a Threatened Species due to Alteration of Predator–prey Dynamics
Resource
Although global change can reshape ecosystems by triggering cascading effects on food webs, indirect interactions remain largely overlooked. Climate- and land-use-induced changes in landscape cause...
Groundwater: Making the Invisible, Visible - WPACs World Water Day 2022
Event
Event Date and Time
March 22nd, 2022 at 1:00pm MST to March 22nd, 2022 at 3:00pm MST
Organization
The Watershed Planning and Advisory Councils (WPACs) of Alberta work towards the protection of water resources in our province. Collaboratively we are presenting this online World Water Day event. The...
Management-mediated Predation Rate in the Caribou–Moose–Wolf System: Spatial Configuration of Logging Activities Matters
Resource
Landscape complexity can determine the population dynamics of interacting predators and prey. Yet, management plans are commonly developed from aspatial predictive models. This oversight may result in...
Recent Climate Change has Driven Divergent Hydrological Shifts in High-latitude Peatlands
Resource
High-latitude peatlands are changing rapidly in response to climate change, including permafrost thaw. Here, we reconstruct hydrological conditions since the seventeenth century using testate amoeba...
Spatial and Temporal Variation in Forest Transpiration Across a Forested Boreal Peatland Complex
Resource
Transpiration is a globally important component of evapotranspiration. Careful upscaling of transpiration from point measurements is thus crucial for quantifying water and energy fluxes. In spatially...
The Essential Carbon Service Provided by Northern Peatlands
Resource
Northern peatlands have cooled the global climate by accumulating large quantities of soil carbon (C) over thousands of years. Maintaining the C sink function of these peatlands and their immense long...
Video - Alberta Watershed Toolkit
Resource
This presentation describes the Alberta Watershed Toolkit as a watershed planning community space to share success stories and tools.
Video - Alberta Wetland Policy
Resource
This presentation discusses the state of wetland and peatland conservation in Alberta.
Video - Alberta's Upstream Petroleum Industry's Spill Preparedness: The Co-op Approach
Resource
This presentation describes how the Alberta oil and gas industry decided to go with a oil/gas spill cooperative rather than having individual company spill response units.
Video - Assessing agricultural practices to improve watershed management in Alberta
Resource
This presentation summarizes a 6 year project to evaluate the environmental and economic performance of agricultural BMPs to improve water quality on small watercourses in Alberta.
Video - Bow Basin Watershed Management Plan 2012: Lessons Learned
Resource
This presentation describes what the Bow River Watershed Council learned through the various iterations of its watershed plans and state of the watershed reports.
Video - Bridging Planning Processes: Vermilion Watershed Project
Resource
This presentation describes the watershed planning process for the Vermilion River.
Video - Can Alberta Learn Lessons for Low Impact Development From the UK?
Resource
This presentation summarizes strategies Canada can learn from the U.K. about flood risk management.
