Abstract Mountain caribou, a behaviourally and genetically distinct set of ecotypes of the Woodland caribou ( Rangifer tarandus caribou) restricted to the mountains of western Canada, have undergone...
Habitat disturbance is a major driver of the decline of woodland caribou (Rangifer tarandus caribou) in Canada. Different disturbance agents and regimes negatively impact caribou populations to...
A recently-published policy paper explores the gap between population recovery targets required by endangered species laws and culturally-meaningful targets. Current endangered species laws, targets...
Thanks to drastic and evidence-based solutions, more southern mountain caribou roam Western Canada today than in previous decades; however, herd numbers are too fragile to sustain themselves without...
Abstract In recent years, researchers have increasingly recognized the need to bridge Western and Indigenous knowledge systems to strengthen research in wildlife conservation. Historically, this arena...
Soil is defined in terms of dynamic circulation patterns of water, air and minerals driven by solar energy. The soil is the reactor and exchanger of energy and matter and, as such, is the terrestrial...
Peatlands and forests cover large areas of the boreal biome and are critical for global climate regulation. They also regulate regional climate through heat and water vapour exchange with the...
The study's purpose is to assess the nutrient self-sufficiency of five-year-old reclaimed areas in montane and subalpine environments. Adjacent, undisturbed native grasslands were also studied for...
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...
Northern caribou depend on terrestrial lichens as a primary source of food during winter. This paper illustrates how changes in harvesting intensity affect terrestrial lichen abundance, species...

Resource development can have significant consequences for the distribution of vegetation cover and for species persistence. Modelling changes to anthropogenic disturbance regimes over time can...
The UBC Theses and Dissertations collection promotes open and comprehensive access to a significant body of unique knowledge created by graduate students to support further research and for private...
Conservation actions directed at the proximate cause of caribou decline have been more successful in the near term than those directed further along the trophic chain.
Increasingly, fisheries researchers and managers seek or are compelled to “bridge” Indigenous knowledge systems with Western scientific approaches to understanding and governing fisheries. Here, we...
The conservation community is increasingly focusing on the monitoring and evaluation of management, governance, ecological, and social considerations as part of a broader move toward adaptive...
