Literature Review - Caribou, Fire, and Forestry
Resource
With of goal of understanding how silviculture and harvesting practices might mirror those of natural disturbances, here we summarize research describing differences in responses of caribou and...
Lost in Translation? Insights into Caribou Habitat Selection from Forest Inventory Data
Resource
Abstract The gap between research and its implementation is an impediment to conservation of the environment. Translating science into actionable management and policy requires effective communication...
Low-impact Line Construction Retains and Speeds Recovery of Trees on Seismic Lines in Forested Peatlands
Resource
Seismic lines, linear features originating from the oil and gas industry for energy exploration, pose a substantial management challenge due to their collective impact on biogeochemical cycles, plant...
Mapping Resource Selection Functions for Caribou and Wolves in the Chinchaga Caribou Range
Resource
We used GPS telemetry location data from 63 adult caribou and 6 adult wolves to build spatially explicit resource selection function (RSF) rasters. These RSF rasters describe the within-home-range...
Moose Habitat and Populations in Alberta Boreal and Foothills Regions: Literature Review
Resource
Moose occur across the northern Boreal and Foothills of Alberta (Alces alces). Their core range is in mid- and west-central Alberta and supports the highest densities of moose in the province. The...
Motorized Activity on Legacy Seismic Lines: A Predictive Modeling Approach to Prioritize Restoration Efforts
Resource
Natural regeneration of seismic lines, cleared for hydrocarbon exploration, is slow and often hindered by vegetation damage, soil compaction, and motorized human activity. There is an extensive...
Movement of Predators Influenced by Seismic Lines
Resource
The paper by the Caribou Program (and GIS and Grizzly Bear Programs) breaks down how seismic lines are influencing predator movement by season and species. This infographic was illustrated by Jennifer...
Natural Regeneration on Seismic Lines Influences Movement Behaviour of Wolves and Grizzly Bears
Resource
Across the boreal forest of Canada, habitat disturbance is the ultimate cause of caribou ( Rangifer tarandus caribou) declines. Habitat restoration is a focus of caribou recovery efforts, with a goal...
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...
Predator and Prey in Harvest Blocks: Implications for Caribou and Forestry
Resource
This infographic by Sunny Tseng describes the key results from a paper by Tracy McKay and Dr. Laura Finnegan. Deer, elk, and moose are apparent competitors for caribou because they draw predators...
Predator–prey Co-occurrence in Harvest Blocks: Implications for Caribou and Forestry
Resource
Forest harvesting alters habitat, impacts wildlife, and disrupts ecosystem function. Across the boreal forest of Canada, forest harvesting affects ungulate prey species and their predators, with...
Predator-Prey Co-occurrence in Harvest Blocks: Implications for Caribou and Forestry
Resource
Forest harvesting alters habitat, impacts wildlife, and disrupts ecosystem function. Across the boreal forest of Canada, forest harvesting affects ungulate prey species and their predators, with...
Predator-Prey Co-occurrence in Harvest Blocks: Implications for Caribou and Forestry - Summary
Resource
We investigated the attributes of harvest blocks associated with the highest occupancy and/or co-occurrence of ungulates and predators, with the goal of providing practical information for best forest...
Predicting Off-Highway Vehicle Use on Seismic Lines
Resource
This infographic was created by Jennifer Hird as part of the paper " Motorized Activity on Legacy Seismic Lines: A Predictive Modeling Approach to Prioritize Restoration Efforts."
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
Proceedings of a Workshop to Develop a Strategic Plan for a Watershed Assessment Model (WAM)
Resource
Report of proceedings from a workshop to produce a strategic plan for developing a Watershed Assessment Model and identifying key project events.
