A Before-After Dose-Response (BADR) Terrestrial Biological Monitoring Framework for the Oil Sands
Resource
One of the theme areas monitored within the OSM program is terrestrial biodiversity, known programmatically as Terrestrial Biological Monitoring (TBM). Biodiversity refers to the diversity of wild...
A Burning Question: What are the Implications of Forest Fires for Woodland Caribou?
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...
A Deeper Dive into Human Footprint in Alberta
Resource
As of 2015, 29.2% of Alberta is under human footprint, up from 25.7% in 1999—that’s an average increase of about 0.22%, or around 1450 km2 (560 sections) per year.
A Framework for Adaptive Monitoring of the Cumulative Effects of Human Footprint on Biodiversity
Resource
Effective ecological monitoring is imperative in a human-dominated world, as our ability to manage functioning ecosystems will depend on understanding biodiversity responses to anthropogenic impacts...
A Greener World May Hold Red Flags for Woodland Caribou
Resource
A team from the ABMI’s Caribou Monitoring Unit, studied links between habitat alteration (e.g., forest harvesting), primary productivity, moose, wolves, and caribou across the Canadian boreal forest
A Literature Review for Monitoring Rare and Elusive Species, and Recommendations on Survey Design for Monitoring Boreal Caribou
Resource
Effective wildlife management requires monitoring changes in the spatial distribution of species, their population size and their population trend (Williams et al. 2002; Sinclair et al. 2006)...
A Visual Guide to Handling Woody Materials for Forested Land Reclamation
Resource
Guide to answer: • Why has there been a shift in how we manage woody materials? • How can woody materials be managed effectively on sites? • What do effective woody material applications look like?
ABMI Science Letter: Factors Affecting Nutrient Variation in Alberta Prairie Wetlands
Resource
Our results indicate water depth, surrounding agriculture footprint, and amount of precipitation received all significantly influence the water quality of prairie wetlands in Alberta.
Adapting Monitoring to More Effectively Assess the Impacts of Climate Change on Alberta’s Biodiversity
Resource
Use of ABMI samples to understand genetic variation and changes in genetic structure is identified as an area where ABMI data can be used to understand how biodiversity is adapting to climate change
Alberta Watercourse Crossing Collaborative Fall 2021 Webinar Series
Resource
The Alberta Watercourse Crossing Collaborative held a Fall 2021 Webinar Series to fulfill its objectives around information transfer, education and training. Webinars included: Alberta Watercourse...
Alberta Wetlands Discovery Field Guide
Resource
An introduction to Alberta's wetland classifications and biodiversity, created for Alberta Science Network classroom presentations. A wetland is a part of the land that holds water temporarily or...
Alberta’s Natural Subregions Under a Changing Climate: Past, Present and Future
Resource
The Natural Regions and Subregions classification represents the state-of-the-art in ecological land classification in Alberta. This classification provides a valuable baseline for resource management...
Amphibian eDNA Pilot Report
Resource
The eDNA approach detected three amphibian species across the four sites sampled in this project. Three amphibian species were identified by ARU methods at the four sites.
An Ecological Framework for Wildlife Habitat Design for Oil Sands Mine Reclamation
Resource
Wildlife communities are an important part of the biodiversity of the post-mining landscape, and are crucial elements of the traditional landscape for First Nations and other users of the land.
Application of Federal Legislation to Alberta’s Mineable Oil Sands
Resource
Report focuses on evolution and current state of pertinent federal legislative Acts in the environmental, natural resource, and energy policy sectors that may impact oil sands environmental management
Application of Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) to Oil Sands Environmental Monitoring
Resource
This report presents a comprehensive review of industrial applications of an emerging environmental monitoring technology called Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) and a WSN installed at Coal Valley Mine
Applying and Testing a Novel Method to Estimate Animal Density from Motion-triggered Cameras
Resource
Estimating animal abundance and density are fundamental goals of many wildlife monitoring programs. Camera trapping has become an increasingly popular tool to achieve these monitoring goals due to...
Applying Remote Sensing for Large-landscape Problems: Inventorying and Tracking Habitat Recovery for a Broadly Distributed Species At Risk
