Testing UAV-based Remote Sensing for Monitoring Well Pad Recovery
Resource
UAV-based remote sensing as a method for monitoring well pad recovery is determined to be feasible from a technical and field perspective.
The Alberta Biodiversity Monitoring Program: Monitoring Aquatic Systems
Resource
Protocols for sampling biotic and abiotic parameters in large lakes, large rivers, wetlands, and streams in Alberta is provided. Estimates of time costs are given.
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...
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 Caribou Taste Different Now": Inuit Elders Observe Climate Change
Resource
In full colour with photos of the 145 contributing Inuit elders, “The Caribou Taste Different Now” grounds the discussions, debates, and discourses about climate change to material and everyday life in the contemporary Canadian Arctic.
The Hydrology of Interconnected Bog Complexes in Discontinuous Permafrost Terrains
Resource
In the zone of discontinuous permafrost, the cycling and storage of water within and between wetlands is poorly understood. The presence of intermittent permafrost bodies tends to impede and re-direct...
The Impacts of Climate and Social Changes on Cloudberry (Bakeapple) Picking: A Case Study from Southeastern Labrador
Resource
Abstract The traditional subsistence activities of Indigenous communities in Canada's subarctic are being affected by the impacts of climate change, compounding the effects of social, economic and...
The ORB Tool has Launched!
News
Organization
The Online Reporting for Biodiversity (ORB) tool is a user-friendly platform for generating biodiversity and land cover reports for different areas in Alberta, including natural regions, watersheds...
The Potential Supply of Carbon-related Ecosystem Services from Land Management Choices in Alberta’s Agricultural Lands
Resource
The results showed a pronounced variation in the historic supply of soil organic carbon and aboveground biomass in the watershed. Land management resulted in a diverse range of gains or losses.
The Role of Digital Data Entry in Participatory Environmental Monitoring
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...
The Status of Biodiversity in the Athabasca Oil Sands Area - Preliminary Assessment 2013
Resource
As of 2010, human footprint in the Active In-situ Region was 7.7%, whereas it was 20.8% in the Mineable Region. Total human footprint in all Woodland Caribou ranges increased between 2007 and 2010
The Status of Biodiversity in the Oil Sands Region of Alberta Preliminary Assessment 2014
Resource
As of 2012, the total human footprint across the OSR was 13.8%. Energy footprint covered 2.2% of the OSR. The total human footprint in the OSR increased from 11.3% to 13.8% between 1999 and 2012.
The Status of Land Cover and Biodiversity in the Kakwa River Project Area: Preliminary Assessment 2021
Resource
This report presents data on several indicators of environmental health for the Kakwa River Project area where ARC Resources operates in northwestern Alberta. The Kakwa River Project area covers...
The Unrecognized Importance of Carbon Stocks and Fluxes from Swamps in Canada and the USA
Resource
Swamps are a highly significant wetland type in North America both in terms of areal extent and their role in terrestrial carbon cycling. These wetlands, characterized by woody vegetation cover...
Trophic Consequences of Terrestrial Eutrophication for a Threatened Ungulate
Resource
Conservation actions directed at the proximate cause of caribou decline have been more successful in the near term than those directed further along the trophic chain.
Uncovering Traits in Recovering Grasslands: A Functional Assessment of Oil and Gas Well Pad Reclamation
Resource
Results suggest that even as practices and policies evolve, reclamation does not fully alleviate the legacy effects of industrial disturbance. Trait-based approaches can inform recovery assessment.
Understanding and Responding to the Effects of Climate Change on Alberta’s Biodiversity
Resource
The Biodiversity Management and Climate Change Adaptation project has produced a comprehensive, evidence-based, and original examination of the effects of climate change on Alberta’s biodiversity
Use of Linear Features by Mammal Predators and Prey in Managed Boreal Forests
Resource
In managed boreal forests, logging operations maintain high levels of anthropogenic disturbance in the ecosystem. The establishment of permanent anthropogenic linear features such as logging roads in...
Use of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles for Monitoring Recovery of Forest Vegetation on Petroleum Well Sites
Resource
Good statistical agreement between key structural vegetation parameters, such as mean and maximum vegetation height, with PPC metrics successfully predicting most height and tree-diameter metrics.
