Habitat Loss Accelerates for the Endangered Woodland Caribou in Western Canada
Resource
Habitat loss is often the ultimate cause of species endangerment and is also a leading factor inhibiting species recovery. For this reason, species-at-risk legislation, policies and plans typically...
Habitat Relationships and Management of Terrestrial Birds in Northeastern Alberta
Resource
Breeding bird studies using the mapping method were combined with intensive habitat quantification to determine the relative values to breeding avifauna of 21 habitat types
Habitat Selection and Population Trends of the Torngat Mountains Caribou Herd
Project
Organization:
Project Description:We fitted 9 Argos and 26 global positioning system (GPS)-collars on 35 adult caribou (25 female, 10 male) from the declining Torngat Mountains caribou herd in northern Quebec...
Habitat Selection and Population Trends of the Torngat Mountains Caribou Herd
Resource
We fitted collars on 35 adult caribou to assess seasonal habitat selection at 2 spatial scales, current and future population trends, and interactions with the neighboring migratory caribou herd.
Harvesting Surface Vegetation Does Not Impede Self-Recovery of Sphagnum Peatlands
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...
Harvesting Surface Vegetation does not Impede Self‐Recovery of Sphagnum Peatlands
Resource
Ecosystem restoration frequently involves the reintroduction of plant material in the degraded ecosystem. When there are no plant nurseries or seeds available on the market, the plant material has to...
Heavy Metal Dynamics in the Athabasca River: Sediment Concentrations Prior to Major Alberta Oil Sands Development
Resource
To document the natural heavy metal geochemistry of the sediment and to assess cultural influences if any on concentrations. Absolute concentrations are low compared to data for polluted sediments
Heavy Metals in Bottom Sediments of the Mainstem Athabasca River System in the AOSERP Study Area
Resource
Dredged sediments and sediment cores were collected from sites along the Athabasca River system from between Fort McMurray and the confluence of Riviere des Rochers with the Slave River
High Genetic Load Without Purging in Caribou, a Diverse Species at Risk
Resource
High intra-specific genetic diversity is associated with adaptive potential, which is key for resilience to global change. However, high variation may also support deleterious alleles through genetic...
Human Disturbance Effects and Cumulative Habitat Loss in Endangered Migratory Caribou
Resource
A 2018 academic paper to assess the effects of human disturbance on barren-ground caribou herds. This study focuses on the Leaf River and George River herds in northern Quebec and Labrador. The paper...
Hydrological Functions of a Peatland in a Boreal Plains Ecosystem
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...
Impact of Heat Advection on the Thermal Regime of Roads Built on Permafrost
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...
Impacts of Spruce Budworm Defoliation on the Habitat of Woodland Caribou, Moose, and Their Main Predators
Resource
Forest logging has contributed to the decline of several woodland caribou populations by causing the fragmentation of mature coniferous stands. Such habitat alterations could be worsened by spruce...
Improving Peary Caribou Presence Predictions in MaxEntUsing Spatialized Snow Simulations
Resource
In this article, the researchers 1) investigate whether a snow model adapted for the Antarctic (SNOWPACK) can produce snow simulations relevant to Canadian High Arctic conditions, and 2) test snow...
In Search of Evidence-based Management Targets: A Synthesis of the Effects of Linear Features on Woodland Caribou
Resource
Abstract Effective species management relies on evidence-based goals that address the processes influencing population demography. These goals therefore require understanding how stressors affect the...
Increased Nutrient Availability Speeds up Permafrost Development, While Goose Grazing Slows it Down in a Canadian High Arctic Wetland
Resource
1. It is of prime importance to understand feedbacks due to the release of carbon (C) stored in permafrost soils (permafrost-climate feedback) and direct impacts of climatic variations on permafrost...
Increasing Contributions of Peatlands to Boreal Evapotranspiration in a Warming Climate
Resource
The response of evapotranspiration (ET) to warming is of critical importance to the water and carbon cycle of the boreal biome, a mosaic of land cover types dominated by forests and peatlands. The...
Insect-mediated Apparent Competition Between Mammals in a Boreal Food Web
Resource
While the important role of animal-mediated interactions in the top-down restructuring of plant communities is well documented, less is known of their ensuing repercussions at higher trophic levels...
