Guilbeault calls for decree to protect caribou in Quebec
News
Federal Environment Minister Steven Guilbault will recommend that his government put in place a decree to better protect caribou in Quebec. In a letter sent to his provincial counterpart Benoit...
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 Functioning of a Constructed Peatland Watershed in the Athabasca Oil Sands Region: Potential Trajectories and Lessons Learned
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 Human Disturbance on Large Prey Species: Do Behavioral Reactions Translate to Fitness Consequences?
Resource
Anthropogenic disturbances have been demonstrated to affect animal behavior, distribution, and abundance, but assessment of their impacts on fitness-related traits has received little attention. We...
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...
Integrating Functional Connectivity in Designing Networks of Protected Areas Under Climate Change: A Caribou Case-study
Resource
Abstract Land-use change and climate change are recognized as two main drivers of the current biodiversity decline. Protected areas help safeguard the landscape from additional anthropogenic...
Investigation of Microbial Community Response During Oil Sands Reclamation via Lipid and Carbon Isotope Analyses
Resource
In this study, phospholipid fatty acids (PLFA) and carbon isotopes were used to characterize the response of in situ microbial communities to a pilot-scale wetland reclamation project in the Alberta...

Large Scale Mapping of Soil Organic Carbon Concentration with 3D Machine Learning and Satellite Observations
Resource
Canada has extensive forests and peatlands that play key roles in global carbon cycle. Canadian soils and peatlands are assumed to store approximately 20% of the world’s soil carbon stock. However...
Lichens: A Limit to Peat Growth?
Resource
The fruticose lichens Cladina stellaris and Cladina rangiferina, form thick mats that can cover large areas of northern peatlands (above c. 50° latitude), including the extensive peatlands of the...
Linking Habitat, Predators and Alternative Prey to Explain Recruitment Variations of an Endangered Caribou Population
Resource
Habitat loss, fragmentation and alteration are frequently identified as important threats to biodiversity, inducing major changes in the structure and composition of species communities and the...
Links Between Individual Performance, Trace Elements and Stable Isotopes in an Endangered Caribou Population
Resource
Foraging is a key behaviour, and several aspects of foraging remain to be investigated in many wild species. Low energy gain or reduced protein, nutrient, and mineral intake may explain poor...
Long-Term Carbon Sequestration in Boreal Forested Peatlands in Eastern Canada
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...
Lowering the Rate of Timber Harvesting to Mitigate Impacts of Climate Change on Boreal Caribou Habitat Quality in Eastern Canada
Resource
This study evaluates how climate change will affect boreal caribou habitat over the 2030–2100 horizon and in a 9.94 Mha study area, using a climate-sensitive simulation ensemble that integrates...
