Estimating Ungulate Recruitment and Growth Rates Using Age Ratios
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...
Evaluating the Revegetation Success of Foothills Fescue Grassland
Resource
Seeding fescue grassland is often associated with low emergence and poor establishment. Alternative methods for re-vegetating fescue grassland include fescue plugs and the use of native hay. Each...
Evaluation of Reclamation Practices on Upland and Peatland Wellsites
Resource
Need for clear direction on information required to support professional justification which describes why specific deficiencies will not have long term adverse environmental impacts and/or affect ELC
Experimental Design for Estimating White-Tailed Deer Occupancy, Density, and Habitat Selection in Alberta’s Boreal Forest
Resource
In this year we analyzed the study landscape using GIS, reclassified AVI data into deer habitat categories, and created the experimental design for sampling deer occupancy using remote cameras. We...
Factors Driving Territory Size and Breeding Success in a Threatened Migratory Songbird, the Canada Warbler
Resource
Successful conservation of migratory birds demands we understand how habitat factors on the breeding grounds influences breeding success. Multiple factors are known to directly influence breeding...
Field-scale Assessment of Phytoremediation of a Flare-Pit Soil in Carlyle, SK: Year 4 Overview
Resource
A cooperative trial to test the use of vegetation to enhance treatment of soils contaminated with weathered petroleum hydrocarbons (PHCs) was initiated in 2002. Experimental protocols were adapted...
Global Change Risks a Threatened Species due to Alteration of Predator–prey Dynamics
Resource
Although global change can reshape ecosystems by triggering cascading effects on food webs, indirect interactions remain largely overlooked. Climate- and land-use-induced changes in landscape cause...
Grizzly Bear Response to Oil and Gas Activities in Alberta
Resource
In 2010 and 2011, the Foothills Research Institute Grizzly Bear Program (FRIGBP) received funding from the Alberta Upstream Petroleum Research Fund (AUPRF) and other program partners to investigate...
Grizzly Bears and Pipelines: Response to Unique Linear Features
Resource
This report includes results from two years of research investigating grizzly bear response to oil and gas pipelines in the Kakwa region of west-central Alberta. We investigated grizzly bear habitat...
Guide to Variance Justifications for Reclamation Certification of Wellsites and Associated Facilities on Forested Land: Case Studies
Resource
This document provides five case studies to show how the Guide to Variance Justifications for Reclamation Certification would be applied to real‐world examples of reclamation certificate applications
Guide to Variance Justifications for Reclamation Certification of Wellsites and Associated Facilities on Forested Land
Resource
This document was developed to provide guidance and consistency in applying for and approving variance requests for reclamation certification of upland sites from an ecological perspective.
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 Selection at Different Scales for a Declining Aerial Insectivorous Bird as Determined by Autonomous Recording Technology
Resource
Conservation management is impeded by the lack of baseline data for many non-passerine, cryptic, or nocturnal species that are inadequately sampled by traditional monitoring programs. The recent rise...
Identifying Indirect Habitat Loss and Avoidance of Human Infrastructure by Northern Mountain Woodland Caribou
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...
Importance of Species Diversity in the Revegetation of Alberta’s Northern Fescue Prairies
Resource
Restoration of grassland ecosystems is critical to the provision of ecosystem services, however, legacies of historic disturbances pose a challenge to grassland restoration. In the northern Great...
Increasing Fire Frequency and Severity Will Increase Habitat Loss for a Boreal Forest Indicator Species
Resource
Climate change will lead to more frequent and more severe fires in some areas of boreal forests, affecting the distribution and availability of late-successional forest communities. These forest...
Influence of Petroleum Development on Burrowing Owl Ecology
Resource
Petroleum development has occurred at a rapid pace on the grasslands of Alberta and Saskatchewan. To avoid potential impacts of development on burrowing owls, federal and provincial governments...
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...
