BERA News Fall 2022
Resource
Understanding how birds respond to landscape disturbance is key to effective restoration. Two studies used non-invasive microphone arrays to determine the exact locations of singing individuals in the...
BERA News Spring 2022
Resource
Mounding is a common restoration technique designed to improve microsite conditions for planted seedlings in wetlands. There are a variety of strategies for constructing mounds, though, and how mounds...
Comparison of Woodland Caribou Calving Areas Determined by Movement Patterns Across Northern Ontario
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...
Controls on Methylmercury Concentrations in Lakes and Streams of Peatland-Rich Catchments Along a 1700 km Permafrost Gradient
Resource
Permafrost thaw may increase the production of neurotoxic methylmercury (MeHg) in northern peatlands, but the downstream delivery of MeHg is uncertain. We quantified total mercury (THg) and MeHg...
Current State of Knowledge and Research on Woodland Caribou in Canada
Resource
Abstract Caribou ( Rangifer tarandus) is a species of deer that lives in the tundra, taiga, and forest habitats at high latitudes in the northern hemisphere, including areas of Russia and Scandinavia...
Evaluating Indices of Nutritional Condition for Caribou (Rangifer tarandus): Which are the Most Valuable and Why?
Resource
Body composition studies are critical for evaluating the accuracy of nutritional condition indices for predicting body components. We evaluated >40 indices of nutritional condition for caribou (...

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...
Microtopography Matters: Belowground CH4 Cycling Regulated by Differing Microbial Processes in Peatland Hummocks and Lawns
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...
Seasonal Patterns in Nutritional Condition of Caribou (Rangifer tarandus) in the Southern Northwest Territories and Northeastern British Columbia, Canada
Resource
Study sampled three measures of nutritional condition of adult female caribou, evaluated the effect of calf-rearing on condition and developed an annual profile of nutritional condition.
State-dependent Foraging by Caribou With Different Nutritional Requirements
Resource
A 14-page academic paper that examines the connection between the physiological state of caribou and how they feed. The paper says, "Foraging time by caribou was partially state-dependent...
The Boreal Ecosystem Recovery and Assessment (BERA)
Project
Organization:
The boreal region of Alberta contains extensive disturbances from natural resource extraction. Roads, well pads, seismic lines (petroleum-exploration corridors), forest-harvest areas, and other...
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 Edge 2022 (BERA Systhesis)
Resource
The central goal of the Boreal Ecosystem Recovery and Assessment (BERA) program is to understand the effects of industrial disturbance on natural ecosystem dynamics, and to develop strategies for...
The Edge: The BERA Program 2024 Synthesis Report
Resource
The 2024 issue of The Edge summarizes the following key findings: Plan A better understanding of passive recovery trajectories will help guide restoration planning LiDAR is a powerful planning tool...
