Short-Term Dynamics of Beaver Dam Flow States
Resource
Beavers ( Castor canadensis and C. fiber) build dams that modify catchment and pond water balances, and it has been suggested that they can be a nature-based solution for reducing flood hydrographs...
“The Caribou Taste Different Now": Inuit Elders Observe Climate Change
Resource
In full colour with photos of the 145 contributing Inuit elders, “The Caribou Taste Different Now” grounds the discussions, debates, and discourses about climate change to material and everyday life in the contemporary Canadian Arctic.
The Effect of Cover Crop Species on Growth and Yield Response of Tree Seedlings to Fertiliser and Soil Moisture on Reclaimed Sites
Resource
Comparatively the suppressive effect of barley was higher than that of oats probably due to a combination of vigorous growth and possible allelopathic effects.
The Engineering of Peatland Form and Function by Beaver (Castor spp.)
Resource
Northern peatlands are significant contributors to global biogeochemical cycles. In Canada alone, peatlands cover over a tenth of the land surface and store over half of the country’s terrestrial...
The Impacts of Climate and Social Changes on Cloudberry (Bakeapple) Picking: A Case Study from Southeastern Labrador
Resource
Abstract The traditional subsistence activities of Indigenous communities in Canada's subarctic are being affected by the impacts of climate change, compounding the effects of social, economic and...
The Potential of Carbon Nanoparticles as a Stimulant to Improve the Propagation of Native Boreal Forest Species: A Mini-Review
Resource
Boreal forests across Canada and other geographic areas globally have vast networks or densities of seismic lines, pipelines, access roads, utility corridors, and multipurpose trails collectively termed “linear disturbances” or “linear features.”
The Potential of Rock Dust Nanoparticles to Improve Seed Germination and Seedling Vigor of Native Species: A Review
Resource
Land degradation as a result of unregulated mineral exploration and mining, negatively impacts local communities and vulnerable ecosystems.

Toxoplasma gondii and Related Sarcocystidae Parasites in Harvested Caribou from Nunavik, Canada
Resource
Abstract Caribou are keystone species important for human harvest and of conservation concern; even so, much is unknown about the impact of parasites on caribou health and ecology. The aim of this...
Trophic Consequences of Terrestrial Eutrophication for a Threatened Ungulate
Resource
Conservation actions directed at the proximate cause of caribou decline have been more successful in the near term than those directed further along the trophic chain.
Undermining Subsistence: Barren-Ground Caribou in a “Tragedy of Open Access”
Resource
The paper describes a “tragedy of open access” occurring in Canada’s north as governments open up new areas of sensitive barren-ground caribou habitat to mineral resource development. A growing body of science and traditional knowledge research points to the adverse impacts of resource development; however, management efforts have been almost exclusively focused on controlling the subsistence harvest of northern Indigenous peoples.
Using Integrated Resource Management and the Public Trust Doctrine to Examine Wildlife Management Practices in Northern Labrador: A Case Study on the George River Caribou Hunting Ban
Resource
A master's thesis that explores the impacts to Labrador Inuit of a hunting ban on the George River Caribou Herd, and how these understanding these impacts can inform better wildlife management in the...
Using Stable Isotopes to Track Hydrological Processes at an Oil Sands Mine, Alberta, Canada
Resource
Water samples were collected and analyzed regularly over an eight-year period to establish inventories of site-wide water isotope signatures including seasonal and interannual changes in the recycle...
