Caribou and wild reindeer ( Rangifer) are integral to ecology and Aboriginal lives and culture in circumArctic regions. Since reaching peak size in the 1990s, most herds have been declining, while...
Climate, Caribou and Human Needs Linked by Analysis of Indigenous and Scientific Knowledge
Resource
Migratory tundra caribou are ecologically and culturally critical in the circumpolar North. However, they are declining almost everywhere in North America, probably due to natural variation...

Do Beaver Ponds Increase Methane Emissions Along Arctic Tundra Streams?
Resource
Beaver engineering in the Arctic tundra induces hydrologic and geomorphic changes that are favorable to methane (CH 4) production. Beaver-mediated methane emissions are driven by inundation of...
Effects of Mechanical Site Preparation on Microsite Availability and Growth of Planted Black Spruce in Canadian Paludified Forests
Resource
Low productivity caused by paludification in some parts of the closed black spruce (Picea mariana (Mill.) B.S.P) dominated boreal forest threatens the provision of ecosystem services, including wood...

This article analyzes the geographical extent to which native peoples of Interior Alaska used fire to modify the landscape at the time of European contact. Although wildfire has been central to the...
Forest Inventory Maps: A Useful Tool for a Wetland Classification and Regionalisation in Quebec's Forests
Resource
Forest inventory maps can be used to quantify the area of wetland habitats and to define homogeneous regions in this regard, and therefore provide a functional tool for coarse-scale wetland management
Historical Landscape Use of Migratory Caribou: New Insights From Old Antlers
Resource
Accumulations of shed caribou antlers ( Rangifer tarandus) are valuable resources for expanding the temporal scope with which we evaluate seasonal landscape use of herds. Female caribou shed their...
