Caribou and Reindeer Migrations in the Changing Arctic
Resource
Caribou and reindeer, Rangifer tarandus, are the most numerous and socio-ecologically important terrestrial species in the Arctic. Their migrations are directly and indirectly affected by the seasonal...
Continental Synchrony and Local Responses: Climatic Effects on Spatiotemporal Patterns of Calving in a Social Ungulate
Resource
Warming temperatures and advancing spring are affecting annual snow and ice cycles, as well as plant phenology, across the Arctic and boreal regions. These changes may be linked to observed population...
Critical Summer Foraging Tradeoffs in a Subarctic Ungulate
Resource
Summer diets are crucial for large herbivores in the subarctic and are affected by weather, harassment from insects and a variety of environmental changes linked to climate. Yet, understanding...
Dissipation of Bromacil in Humic Luvic Gleysols in Northwestern Alberta
Resource
Dissipation of bromacil in Humic Luvic Gleysols amended with cow manure was evaluated at two sites in northwestern Alberta from 1984 to 1987
Effect of Pipeline Construction on Soil Compaction in Alberta
Resource
No clear relationships emerged between soil Orders, zones, or soil parent materials and the effect of pipeline construction on soil compaction. Soil moisture conditions appear to be more important.
Effect of Pipeline Construction on Soil Strengths of Soil Horizons in Alberta: 1990 Final Report
Resource
At each of the fifteen 1989 study areas and at each of the eight 1988 study areas soil strength was monitored using a cone penetrometer in 15 cm depth increments to a depth of 52.5 cm.
Impacts of Overstripping Topsoil on Native Rangelands in Southeastern Alberta: A Literature Review
Resource
Available information indicates that overstripping and subsequent replacement of topsoil can produce horizon characteristics similar to plow depth characteristics resulting from cultivation
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...
Knowing the Herd: A Summary of Boreal Caribou Monitoring in Canada Part I: Perspectives from the NBCKC Monitoring Working Group
Resource
Formed in 2018, the National Boreal Caribou Knowledge Consortium (NBCKC) is a forum for collaboration and information sharing that brings together experts and knowledge holders to support the recovery...
Minimal Disturbance Pipeline Construction Procedures in Peatland Areas
Resource
TransCanada presents an account of pipeline construction methods implemented in the boreal regions of Alberta.
Multi-objective Optimization can Balance Trade-offs Among Boreal Caribou, Biodiversity, and Climate Change Objectives when Conservation Hotspots do not Overlap
Resource
The biodiversity and climate change crises have led countries—including Canada—to commit to protect more land and inland waters and to stabilize greenhouse gas concentrations. Canada is also obligated...
Natural Climate Solutions
Resource
New science led by Nature United reveals nature can deliver immediate impact in Canada’s fight to tackle the climate crisis. Natural Climate Solutions are actions to protect, better manage and restore...
Natural Climate Solutions for Canada
Resource
Alongside the steep reductions needed in fossil fuel emissions, natural climate solutions (NCS) represent readily deployable options that can contribute to Canada’s goals for emission reductions. We...
Pipeline Reclamation Techniques
Resource
Successful reclamation of a pipeline right-of-way is contingent upon the proper material handling procedure, especially for topsoil conservation. NOVA's practice of topsoil conservation is discussed...
Preliminary Caribou Habitat Restoration Plan for the Leismer to Kettle River Crossover Project
Resource
On September 20, 2012, NOVA Gas Transmission Ltd. (NGTL) received approval for the Leismer to Kettle River Crossover Project. Approximately 63 km of this pipeline will be constructed within the...
Protecting Boreal Caribou Habitat Can Help Conserve Biodiversity and Safeguard Large Quantities of Soil Carbon in Canada
Resource
Boreal caribou require large areas of undisturbed habitat for persistence. They are listed as threatened with the risk of extinction in Canada because of landscape changes induced by human activities...
