Assessment of the Barren Ground Caribou Die-off During Winter 2015-2016 Using Passive Microwave Observations
Resource
Study investigates a die-off of 50 Arctic Barren Ground caribous on Prince Charles Island (Nunavut, Canada), in the summer of 2016, using passive microwave observations.
Birth Date Determines Early Calf Survival in Migratory Caribou
Resource
Abstract The decline of most caribou ( Rangifer tarandus) populations underlines the need to understand the determinants of key demographic parameters. In migratory caribou, we have limited...
Cadre législatif québécois pour la protection des espèces sauvages en situation précaire: évaluation critique et recommandations pour une révision majeure
Resource
Résumé Au Québec, la Loi sur les espèces menacées ou vulnérables (LEMV), adoptée en 1989, a pour but d'assurer la sauvegarde de l'ensemble de la diversité génétique sauvage de la province en...
Comparison of Soil Quality and Productivity of Reclaimed and Native Oil Sands Soils
Resource
The primary target of land reclamation in the Athabasca Oil Sands (AOS) region of Canada is to re-create ecosystems which are similar to the pre-disturbance ecosystems. The main objective of this...
Conservation of Caribou (Rangifer tarandus) in Canada: An Uncertain Future
Resource
Caribou (Rangifer tarandus (L., 1758)) play a central role in the ecology and culture of much of Canada, where they were once the most abundant cervid. Most populations are currently declining, and...
Detection of Rain-On-Snow (ROS) Events and Ice Layer Formation Using Passive Microwave Radiometry: A Context for Peary Caribou Habitat in the Canadian Arctic
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...
Enhanced Revegetation and Reclamation of Oil Sands Disturbed Sites Using Actinorhizal and Mycorrhizal Biotechnology
Resource
Preliminary results, after two growth seasons, show promise in the use of pre-inoculated seedlings in enhancing growth and establishment of alders and conifers on oil sands reclamation sites.
Finding Lichen for Caribou
Resource
A storymap website that explains the importance of lichen as a food source for caribou and the first steps of a project for mapping lichen undertaken by Natural Resources Canada's Canada Centre for...
From Diet to Hair and Blood: Empirical Estimation of Discrimination Factors for C and N Stable Isotopes in Five Terrestrial Mammals
Resource
Abstract Carbon and nitrogen stable isotope ratios are used widely to describe wildlife animal diet composition and trophic interactions. To reconstruct consumer diet, the isotopic differences between...
Improving Peary Caribou Presence Predictions in MaxEntUsing Spatialized Snow Simulations
Resource
In this article, the researchers 1) investigate whether a snow model adapted for the Antarctic (SNOWPACK) can produce snow simulations relevant to Canadian High Arctic conditions, and 2) test snow...
Increasing Contributions of Peatlands to Boreal Evapotranspiration in a Warming Climate
Resource
The response of evapotranspiration (ET) to warming is of critical importance to the water and carbon cycle of the boreal biome, a mosaic of land cover types dominated by forests and peatlands. The...
Linking Habitat, Predators and Alternative Prey to Explain Recruitment Variations of an Endangered Caribou Population
Resource
Habitat loss, fragmentation and alteration are frequently identified as important threats to biodiversity, inducing major changes in the structure and composition of species communities and the...
Links Between Individual Performance, Trace Elements and Stable Isotopes in an Endangered Caribou Population
Resource
Foraging is a key behaviour, and several aspects of foraging remain to be investigated in many wild species. Low energy gain or reduced protein, nutrient, and mineral intake may explain poor...
Long-term Changes in Soil Salinity as Influenced by Subsoil Thickness in a Reclaimed Coal Mine in East-central Alberta
Resource
Elevated salinity and sodicity are major challenges to reclamation of surface-mined coal sites in the Alberta Plains region. Research plots were established in 1981 at the Battle River Coal Mine near...
