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...
Modelling the Pre-Anthropogenic Distribution of Wetlands in the Boreal Natural Region
Resource
This research poster describes a model used to assess pre-anthropogenic distribution of wetlands in the Lower Athabasca Region. Presented at the NAIT 7th Seminar on Linear Disturbance Impacts on...

Moose, Caribou, and Fire: Have We Got it Right Yet?
Resource
Natural disturbance plays a key role in shaping community dynamics. Within Canadian boreal forests, the dominant form of natural disturbance is fire, and its effects are thought to influence the...

We invite you to join an end-user workshop to learn about a collaborative NSERC Alliance project (2023-2025) between the University of Toronto and ABMI. The project aims to facilitate structural...
Partnering for Caribou Recovery Fall 2014 Update
Resource
To address the issue of increased caribou predation, the ABMI’s Caribou Monitoring Unit (CMU) is currently involved in testing an experimental caribou recovery project, south of Fort McMurray. The CMU...
Plow-in Pipeline Construction Improves Recovery of Rough Fescue Grassland
Resource
Plow-in pipeline approach resulted in a fescue-bluegrass vegetation community that had the best rough fescue recovery and greatest similarity to undisturbed natural grassland
Predicting Invasive Plant Response to Climate Change: Prioritization and Mapping of New Potential Threats to Alberta’s Biodiversity
Resource
Assessed 16 potentially new invasive plant species not yet present in Alberta for their invasiveness and climate change-related risk
Press Release: Agreement Between Pulse Seismic and the ABMI Benefits Research on Seismic Line Recovery in Alberta
News
Organization
Pulse Seismic Inc. (Pulse) and the Alberta Biodiversity Monitoring Institute (ABMI) have signed a data sharing agreement to enhance public information on seismic lines in Alberta.
Prioritization can Improve Cost Effectiveness of Seismic Line Restoration
Resource
Upland mesic sites showed a relatively strong ability to regenerate on their own (passive restoration), while lowland (bogs and fens) and upland dry sites were slow to recover.
Prioritizing Zones for Caribou Habitat Restoration in the Canada's Oil Sands Innovation Alliance Area V1.0
Resource
Boreal caribou populations are declining across Alberta and much of their Canadian range. Key factors causing this decline include a warming climate along with habitat change from industrial...
Prioritizing Zones for Caribou Habitat Restoration in the Canada's Oil Sands Innovation Alliance Area V2.0
Resource
Seismic lines and other linear features created by humans are thought to negatively impact woodland caribou. It is estimated that there are c. 100,000 km of conventional seismic lines in caribou...
Prioritizing Zones for Caribou Habitat Restoration in the Canada's Oil Sands Innovation Alliance Area V3.0
Resource
Linear features, including seismic lines, pipelines, transmission lines, roads, railways, and trails are pervasive in Alberta’s boreal forest and have been implicated as a primary factor leading to...
Prioritizing Zones for Caribou Habitat Restoration in the Canada's Oil Sands Innovation Alliance (COSIA) Area V4.0
Resource
Seismic lines and other linear features (roads, railways, trails, transmission lines, pipelines, etc.) are pervasive in Alberta’s boreal forest. It is estimated that there are approximately 100,000 km...
Projected Responses of Alberta Grassland Songbirds to Climate Change
Resource
Climate suitability projections, and current distribution of grassland and cropland habitats in Alberta suggest that some climate-mediated range expansion of grassland songbirds is possible
Protecting Forest Floor in Place Rather than Stripping it Off is a Better Strategy to Regenerated Temporary Drilling Pads
Resource
Where forest floor was protected from disturbance, there were approximately 10 times as many aspen sprouts that were at least 3 times as tall as sprouts in the area where floor was stripped & replaced
Rat Root Plants May Not be Suitable for Reclaiming Oil Sands Tailing Ponds
Resource
This study tested the ability of rat root to grow in a high pH/high salinity environment, similar to that of a constructed oil sands tailings pond wetland.
