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?

A Caribou Decline Foreshadowed by Inuit in the Central Canadian Arctic: A Retrospective Analysis
Resource
The Dolphin and Union (DU) caribou herd ( Rangifer tarandus groenlandicus x pearyi), locally referred to as Island caribou, is a unique and at-risk ecotype of caribou that ranges on Victoria Island...
A Causal Modelling Approach to Informing Woodland Caribou Conservation Policy from Observational Studies
Resource
Examines the scientific framework for woodland caribou recovery efforts through the lens of causal modelling, highlighting feasible steps that could be taken to improve the rigour of causal inferences
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 Laboratory Study of Long-term Effects of Mine Depressurization Groundwater on Fish and Invertebrates
Resource
Mine depressurization groundwater was acutely toxic to the three species of invertebrates tested. The 90 d LC50 was 8.5 to 9% for rainbow trout, 13.2% for lake chub, and 5.8% for white suckers.
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 New Method to Map Groundwater Table in Peatlands Using Unmanned Aerial Vehicles
Resource
Groundwater level (GWL) and depth to water (DTW) are related metrics aimed at characterizing groundwater-table positions in peatlands, and two of the most common variables collected by researchers...

A Synthesis of Three Decades of Eco-Hydrological Research at Scotty Creek, NWT, Canada
Resource
Scotty Creek, Northwest Territories (NWT), Canada, has been the focus of eco-hydrological research for nearly three decades. Over this period, field and modelling studies have generated new insights...
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
