A Strong Mitigation Scenario Maintains Climate Neutrality of Northern Peatlands
Resource
Northern peatlands store 300–600 Pg C, of which approximately half are underlain by permafrost. Climate warming and, in some regions, soil drying from enhanced evaporation are progressively...
Cenovus LiDea Forest Restoration Project
Resource
The Cenovus LiDea project tests the idea that active restoration using silviculture may resolve arrested succession and address the basic mechanisms that lead to caribou decline.
Connecting Diverse Knowledge Systems for Enhanced Ecosystem Governance: The Multiple Evidence Base Approach
Resource
Indigenous and local knowledge systems as well as practitioners’ knowledge can provide valid and useful knowledge to enhance our understanding of governance of biodiversity and ecosystems for human...
Corridors or Risk? Movement Along, and Use of, Linear Features Vary Predictably Among Large Mammal Predator and Prey Species
Resource
The objective of this study is to evaluate wolf, black bear, moose and caribou responses to anthropogenic linear features, attempting to determine whether these features are perceived as movement...
Evaluating the Impact of Caribou Habitat Restoration on Predator and Prey Movement
Resource
In the paper 'Evaluating the impact of caribou habitat restoration on predator and prey movement', the authors evaluated movement responses of wolves, black bears, caribou, and moose on seismic lines...
Evaluating the Impact of Caribou Habitat Restoration on Predator and Prey Movement
Resource
Fragmentation of the boreal forest by linear features, including seismic lines, has destabilized predator–prey dynamics, resulting in the decline of woodland caribou (Rangifer tarandus caribou)...
From Applied Research to a Community of Practice; Important Perceptions and Misconceptions Associated with Linear Restoration
Resource
Presentation from the Seismic Line Restoration Technical Session Edmonton, AB December 1 st , 2016 Organized by the Canadian Institute of Forestry This technical session will facilitate discussion and...
Incorporating Mechanism into Conservation Actions in an Age of Multiple and Emerging Threats: The Case of Boreal Caribou
Resource
Conservation strategies for imperiled species are frequently based on identifying and addressing the probable causes of population decline, an approach known as the declining population paradigm...
INFOGRAPHIC: Evaluating the Impact of Caribou Habitat Restoration on Predator and Prey Movement
Resource
In the paper 'Evaluating the impact of caribou habitat restoration on predator and prey movement', the authors evaluated movement responses of wolves, black bears, caribou, and moose on seismic lines...
Large Stocks of Peatland Carbon and Nitrogen are Vulnerable to Permafrost Thaw
Resource
Northern peatlands have accumulated large stocks of organic carbon (C) and nitrogen (N), but their spatial distribution and vulnerability to climate warming remain uncertain. Here, we used machine...
Rediscovery of Traditional Ecological Knowledge as Adaptive Management
Resource
Indigenous groups offer alternative knowledge and perspectives based on their own locally developed practices of resource use. We surveyed the international literature to focus on the role of...
The Boreal-Arctic Wetland and Lake Dataset
Resource
Here we present the Boreal–Arctic Wetland and Lake Dataset (BAWLD), a land cover dataset based on an expert assessment, extrapolated using random forest modelling from available spatial datasets of...
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...
Webinar - Testing Operational Innovations to Maximize Linear Restoration Outcomes: A Field Study in NE Alberta
Resource
Restoration of linear features is gaining significant momentum in the context of caribou conservation, and there is significant focus on this topic within the academic literature. However, the cost of...
Wetlands as Nature-Based Solutions for Water Management in Different Environments
Resource
Abstract Wetlands are multifunctional systems performing as nature-based solutions (NBS) for water management. This paper provides an overview of natural and constructed wetlands and their potential...
Where to Begin? A Flexible Framework to Prioritize Caribou Habitat Restoration
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...
