A Field Guide to Forest Biodiversity Stewardship
Resource
This field guide is designed as a stewardship tool primarily for forest harvesters, woodland managers, and private woodland owners working in Nova Scotia.
A Literature Review for Monitoring Rare and Elusive Species, and Recommendations on Survey Design for Monitoring Boreal Caribou
Resource
Effective wildlife management requires monitoring changes in the spatial distribution of species, their population size and their population trend (Williams et al. 2002; Sinclair et al. 2006)...
Biogeochemical Response to Vegetation and Hydrologic Change in an Alaskan Boreal Fen Ecosystem
Resource
Boreal peatlands store approximately one third of the earth’s terrestrial carbon, locked away in currently waterlogged and frozen conditions. Peatlands of boreal and arctic ecosystems are affected...
Digging Into Canadian Soils - An Introduction to Soil Science
Resource
Written entirely by members of the Canadian Society of Soil Science, "Digging into Canadian Soils: An Introduction to Soil Science" provides an introduction to the core disciplines of soil science...
Estimates of Breeding Females & Adult Herd Size and Analyses of Demographics for the Bluenose-East Herd of Barren-Ground Caribou: 2018 Calving Ground Photographic Survey
Resource
This report describes the results of a calving ground photo survey of the Bluenose-East caribou herd conducted in June of 2018 west of Kugluktuk, Nunavut (NU). The survey objective was to estimate...
Estimates of Caribou Herd Size Using Post-Calving Surveys in the Northwest Territories and Nunavut, Canada: A Meta-Analysis
Resource
We analyzed 20 data sets from post-calving surveys in the NWT and NU carried out between 2000 and 2015 using the Rivest estimator. We provide a set of working recommendations to optimize field sampling to ensure reliable estimates of herd size using post-calving methods.
Estimation of Trends in Zone of Influence of Mine Sites on Barren-ground Caribou Populations in the Northwest Territories, Canada, Using New Methods
Resource
The zone of influence (ZOI) is the area in the vicinity of industrial development where avoidance by caribou Rangifer tarandus or other wildlife species is observed. Here we examine ZOI around two...
Forest Structure and Site Conditions of Boreal Felt Lichen (Erioderma pedicallatum) Habitat in Cape Breton, Nova Scotia, 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...
Governance as a Driver of Change in the Canadian Boreal Zone
Resource
The Canadian boreal forest is primarily public land, owned and managed by provincial governments on behalf of the public interest. Boreal forest governance consists of a complex patchwork of federal...
Peat Loss Collocates with a Threshold in Plant–Mycorrhizal Associations in Drained Peatlands Encroached by Trees
Resource
Drainage-induced encroachment by trees may have major effects on the carbon balance of northern peatlands, and responses of microbial communities are likely to play a central mechanistic role. We...
Restoration Ecology: Aiding and Abetting Secondary Succession on Abandoned Peat Mines in Nova Scotia and New Brunswick, Canada
Resource
The research reported here aims to characterise and compare different planting methods in terms of which would be more successful for achieving the regeneration of dwarf fleshy-fruited shrubs on...
The Third Generation of Pan-Canadian Wetland Map at 10 m Resolution Using Multisource Earth Observation Data on Cloud Computing Platform
Resource
Development of the Canadian Wetland Inventory Map (CWIM) has thus far proceeded over two generations, reporting the extent and location of bog, fen, swamp, marsh, and water wetlands across the country...
