Erasing Anthropogenic Disturbance: Natural Revegetation of Linear Features Following Wildfire, and the Implications for Woodland Caribou (Rangifer tarandus caribou) Habitat Management
Resource
The federal recovery strategy for woodland caribou identifies wildfires within the last 40 years and anthropogenic disturbance visible at a scale of 1:50,000, including a 500-m buffer, as disturbed...
Fall Supplemental Feeding Increases Population Growth Rate of an Endangered Caribou Herd
Resource
Our results support the recommendation that multiple management actions should be implemented to improve recovery prospects for caribou.
Saving Endangered Species Using Adaptive Management
Resource
Adaptive management is a powerful means of learning about complex ecosystems, but is rarely used for recovering endangered species. Here, we demonstrate how it can benefit woodland caribou, which...
The SEEDS Organic Puck: An Innovative System for Establishing Native Plants on Disturbed Sites
Resource
The SEEDS project objective is to develop and test a seed delivery technology that improves emergence and early establishment of native plants for the reclamation of disturbed boreal forest sites.
Using LiDAR, Colour Infrared Imagery, and Ground Truth Data for Mapping and Characterizing Vegetation Succession on Disturbance Types: Implications for Woodland Caribou (Rangifer tarandus caribou) Habitat Management
Resource
Woodland caribou (Rangifer tarandus caribou) occur throughout Canada’s boreal forest and have been declining both in distribution and population size along the southern extent of their range...
Vegetation Recovery on Low Impact Seismic Lines in Alberta's Oil Sands and Visual Obstruction of Wolves (Canis lupus) and Woodland Caribou (Rangifer tarandus caribou)
Resource
Low-Impact Seismic (LIS) exploration techniques are being increasingly used in northeastern Alberta, Canada to explore for in-situ oil sands deposits. These narrow (2-4-m wide), meandering man-made...
