A Decision Support Tool for Assessing Cumulative Effects on an Arctic Migratory Tundra Caribou Population
Resource
Using the caribou cumulative effects model, an existing decision support tool, we evaluate 6 alternative development scenarios, from no leasing to full leasing with standard mitigation conditions
A Field Guide to Forest Biodiversity Stewardship
Resource
This field guide is designed as a stewardship tool primarily for forest harvesters, woodland managers, and private woodland owners working in Nova Scotia.
A Map of Global Peatland Extent Created Using Machine Learning (Peat-ML)
Resource
Peatlands play an integral role in the global carbon and hydrologic cycles and make up 3% of the Earth’s total landscape. Despite their importance, there is a lack of accurate information on the...
Arctic Borderlands Ecological Knowledge Cooperative: Can Local Knowledge Inform Caribou Management?
Resource
While quantitative analyses have traditionally been used to measure overall caribou herd health, qualitative observational data can also provide timely information that reflects what people on the...
Biological Soil Crusts and Native Species for Northern Mine Site Restoration
Resource
The nitrogen cycle is highly sensitive to pollutants and restoration of this biogeochemical pathway is essential to ensure long-term sustainable ecosystems. In a greenhouse trial, the growth and...
Canadian Wetland Inventory using Google Earth Engine: The First Map and Preliminary Results
Resource
Although wetlands provide valuable services to humans and the environment and cover a large portion of Canada, there is currently no Canada-wide wetland inventory based on the specifications defined...
CAN-SAR: A Database of Canadian Species at Risk Information
Resource
Threatened species lists describe the conservation status of species and are key tools used to inform decisions for biodiversity conservation. These lists are rich in information obtained during...
CircumArctic Collaboration to Monitor Caribou and Wild Reindeer
Resource
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...
Dietary Reconstruction and Evidence of Prey Shifting in Pleistocene and Recent Gray Wolves (Canis lupus) From Yukon Territory
Resource
We investigate if and how diets of gray wolves from the Yukon have changed from the Pleistocene to the recent Holocene using dental microwear analysis of carnassial teeth and stable isotope analyses
Digging Into Canadian Soils - An Introduction to Soil Science
Resource
Written entirely by members of the Canadian Society of Soil Science, "Digging into Canadian Soils: An Introduction to Soil Science" provides an introduction to the core disciplines of soil science...
Effects of Narrow Linear Disturbances on Light and Wind Patterns in Fragmented Boreal Forests in Northeastern Alberta
Resource
Forest fragmentation threatens forest biodiversity and ecosystem function. One of the concerns relates to increases in edge effects, which among other things affects the forest microclimate that...
Forest Structure and Site Conditions of Boreal Felt Lichen (Erioderma pedicallatum) Habitat in Cape Breton, Nova Scotia, Canada
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...
Governance as a Driver of Change in the Canadian Boreal Zone
Resource
The Canadian boreal forest is primarily public land, owned and managed by provincial governments on behalf of the public interest. Boreal forest governance consists of a complex patchwork of federal...
Increasing Contributions of Peatlands to Boreal Evapotranspiration in a Warming Climate
Resource
The response of evapotranspiration (ET) to warming is of critical importance to the water and carbon cycle of the boreal biome, a mosaic of land cover types dominated by forests and peatlands. The...
Inuit Approaches to Naming and Distinguishing Caribou: Considering Language, Place, and Homeland toward Improved Co-management
Resource
A 2018 academic paper focusing on the caribou naming practices of Inuit in Uqsuqtuuq (Gjoa Haven, Nunavut). It suggests management authorities and biologists might better understand local input and...
