Appendix 3 ALCES III® Scenario Modeling Report - Athabasca Landscape Area
Resource
In order to evaluate management options that may recover and sustain boreal caribou in the Athabasca Landscape area, the ALT developed scenarios and used simulation modeling to compare and evaluate...
Constructed Wetland Pilot Project at the Strachan Gas Plant
Resource
A pilot scale constructed wetland was built at the Strachan Gas Plant to evaluate its ability to treat dissolved phase hydrocarbons in groundwater. The overall objective was to assess the feasibility...
Disturbance Zones of Influence on Boreal Songbird Communities in Northeastern Alberta
Resource
Canada’s boreal forest is important habitat for many North American birds, which play a vital role in the health of forests, and provide ecosystem services. Expanding human development in northern...
Linear Features, Forestry and Wolf Predation of Caribou and Other Prey in West Central Alberta
Resource
The primary goal of this research was to determine how human activities affect caribou population dynamics through modification of predator‐prey relationships. This knowledge can then be used to...
Modeling Cumulative Effects of Climate and Development on Moose, Wolf, and Caribou Populations
Resource
This article explores the results of an integrated landscape and population simulation model which accounts for key ecological components and relationships among moose, grey wolves, and woodland...
Prompt Rewetting of Drained Peatlands Reduces Climate Warming Despite Methane Emissions
Resource
Peatlands are strategic areas for climate change mitigation because of their matchless carbon stocks. Drained peatlands release this carbon to the atmosphere as carbon dioxide (CO2). Peatland...
Review of Revegetation Practices for Oil and Gas Disturbances in Western Canada
Resource
Various methods have been developed and used to revegetate sites disturbed by oil and gas activities in Western Canada. Considerable information describing these methods and their effectiveness exists...
Scaling Up the Role of Predation in Caribou Declines in West-Central Alberta (Redwillow, Narraway, Redrock Prairie Creek, A la Pêche and Little Smoky Ranges)
Resource
Anthropogenic disturbances contribute to the way animals perceive and respond to their environment. These multiple disturbances can additionally act in non-independent ways to shape an animal’s...
Scaling Up the Role of Predation in Caribou Declines in West-Central Alberta (Redwillow, Narraway, Redrock Prairie Creek, A la Pêche and Little Smoky Ranges). 2012 AUPRF project status update
Resource
Avoidance by caribou and increased wolf predation risk in disturbed areas indicate functional habitat loss for caribou, yet these patterns alone do not necessarily imply a demographic impact. Spatial...
Scaling Up the Role of Predation in Caribou Declines in West‐Central Alberta (Redwillow, Narraway, Redrock Prairie Creek, A la Pêche and Little Smoky Ranges). Interim Report
Resource
Our primary goal is to address the relative contributions of forestry and oil and gas production to the decline of caribou populations. This knowledge can then be used to develop appropriate...
Video - Sustainability Approaches to Land Use Planning - Adoption of Triple Bottom Line Indicators
Resource
Dr. Brad Stelfox, from ALCES, did a presentation for the Town of Okotoks about Sustainability Approaches to Land Use Planning - Adoption of Triple Bottom Line Indicators. The presentation focussed on...
