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...
Action Plan for the Bluenose-East Caribou Herd
Resource
A 56-page action plan for the Bluenose-east herd prepared by the wildlife management boards with stewardship responsibilities for barren-ground caribou and their habitat in the Northwest Territories...
Climate-informed Forecasts Reveal Dramatic Local Habitat Shifts and Population Uncertainty for Northern Boreal Caribou
Resource
Most research on boreal populations of Woodland caribou ( Rangifer tarandus caribou) has been conducted in areas of high anthropogenic disturbance. However, a large portion of the species’ range...
Cross-Scale Controls on Carbon Emissions from Boreal Forest Megafires
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...
Decision-support Tools to Assess Cumulative Effects on the Cape Bathurst, Tuktoyaktuk Peninsula, Bluenose-West, and Bluenose-East Herds of Barren-ground Caribou – Project Summary Report
Resource
This report summarizes a project whose purpose was to collaboratively develop decision-support tools that will help northern decision-makers review, explore, and learn about the cumulative effects of...
Does Dust from Arctic Mines Affect Caribou Forage?
Resource
A 2017 paper assessing the impacts of dust from a mining haul road in the NWT on vegetation used by caribou. The paper concluded that dust from the road negatively affected the vegetation within a...
Functional Response to Cumulative Effects as an Effective Tool for Wildlife Management
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...
Greater Variation in Boreal Plant Community Composition and Community-level Traits at Local Than Regional Scale
Resource
Questions Rapid climate change in northern latitudes is expected to influence plant functional traits of the whole community (community-level traits) through species compositional changes and/or trait...
Groundwater in Peat and Peatlands
Resource
Peatlands are wetlands with soil comprised of undecomposed remains of plants that accumulate in such a way that both responds to and controls the flux and storage of surface water and groundwater, as...
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...
On the Use of Mulching to Mitigate Permafrost Thaw due to Linear Disturbances in Sub-Arctic Peatlands
Resource
The presence or absence of permafrost strongly influences the hydrology and ecology of northern watersheds. Resource exploration activities are currently having profound effects on hydrological and...
Paleolimnological Assessment of Past Hydro-ecological Variation at a Shallow Hardwater Lake in the Athabasca Oil Sands Region Before Potential Onset of Industrial Development
Resource
Effective environmental monitoring requires knowledge of inherent natural variation. In the absence of pre-development monitoring of aquatic ecosystems, paleolimnological approaches have been...
Predicting Patterns of Terrestrial Lichen Biomass Recovery Following Boreal Wildfires
Resource
New allometric equations to estimate lichen biomass from field measurements of lichen cover and height; allometries were consistent among ecoprovinces, suggesting generalizability
Reasons for Decision Final Report, Part B - Bluenose-East Caribou Herd
Resource
Serious conservation concern exists for the Bluenose-East caribou herd and additional management actions are vital for herd recovery. The first report, Part A, dealt with the proposed harvest...
Reasons for Decisions Related to a Joint Proposal for Dìga (Wolf) Management in Wek’èezhìı
Resource
A 109-page document on the reasons for decision of the Wek’èezhìı Renewable Resources Board regarding wolf management in the region.
Spatial and Temporal Variation in Forest Transpiration Across a Forested Boreal Peatland Complex
Resource
Transpiration is a globally important component of evapotranspiration. Careful upscaling of transpiration from point measurements is thus crucial for quantifying water and energy fluxes. In spatially...
