Chronic Wasting Disease and Caribou Conservation: Online Engagement Session
Event
Event Date and Time
July 17th, 2021 at 4:00pm EST to July 17th, 2021 at 5:00pm EST
Organization
We are working to raise awareness about Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD), encourage participation in Alberta’s CWD surveillance program, and provide some tips on how to prevent the spread of CWD in...
High-Resolution Minirhizotrons Advance our Understanding of Root-Fungal Dynamics in an Experimentally Warmed Peatland
Resource
Mycorrhizal fungi enable plants to thrive in the cold, waterlogged, organic soils of boreal peatlands and, with saprotrophic fungi, largely contribute to the sequestration of atmospheric carbon in...
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...
Mechanized Tree Planting in Sweden and Finland: Current State and Key Factors for Future Growth
Resource
In Fennoscandia, mechanized tree planting is time-efficient and produces high-quality regeneration. However, because of low cost-efficiency, the mechanization of Fennoscandian tree planting has been...
Satellite Determination of Peatland Water Table Temporal Dynamics by Localizing Representative Pixels of A SWIR-Based Moisture Index
Resource
The OPtical TRApezoid Model (OPTRAM) is a physically-based approach for remote soil moisture estimation. OPTRAM is based on the response of short-wave infrared (SWIR) reflectance to vegetation water...
Short-term Effects of Wildfire in Boreal Peatlands: Does Fire Mitigate the Linear Footprint of Oil and Gas Exploration?
Resource

The Biophysical Climate Mitigation Potential of Boreal Peatlands During the Growing Season
Resource
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...

Video - Using Pellet-group Counts to Illustrate Changes in Reindeer Habitat Use in a Managed Boreal Forest
Resource
At the 14th North American Caribou Workshop, held in September 2012, Anna Skarin presented research conducted in northern Sweden on the effects of new infrastructure on semi-domesticated reindeer in the area.

Wellsite Selection by Grizzly Bears Ursus arctos in West-central Alberta
Resource
Oil and gas development is widespread in west – central Alberta, yet little is known about the potential impacts of oil and gas activities on grizzly bear habitat use. Focusing on the impacts of one...
