Balancing Between Predation Risk and Food by Boreal Breeding Ducks
Resource
Wetlands belong to the globally most threatened habitats, and organisms depending on them are of conservation concern. Wetland destruction and quality loss may affect negatively also boreal breeding...
Boreal Caribou Survival in a Warming Climate, Labrador, Canada 1996–2014
Resource
Highlights Boreal caribou persistence has been affected by landscape disturbance and subsequent apparent competition. Climatic conditions also affect caribou via energy gains and losses and indirectly...
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...
Comparing Deep Learning and Shallow Learning for Large-Scale Wetland Classification in Alberta, Canada
Resource
Developed two wetland inventory style products for a large (397,958 km2) area in the Boreal Forest region of Alberta, Canada, using Sentinel-1, Sentinel-2, and ALOS DEM data
Comparing Traditional Ecological Knowledge and Western Science Woodland Caribou Habitat Models
Resource
Negotiating the complexities of wildlife management increasingly requires new approaches, especially where data may be limited. A robust combination of traditional ecological knowledge (TEK) and...
Context-dependent Group Size: Effects of Population Density, Habitat, and Season
Resource
Group size can vary in relation to population density, habitat, and season. Habitat and season may also interact with population density and affect group size through varying foraging benefits of...
Coyote (Canis latrans) Diet and Spatial Co-occurrence with Woodland Caribou (Rangifer tarandus caribou)
Resource
The interplay of predator encounters and antipredator responses is an integral part of understanding predator–prey interactions and spatial co-occurrence and avoidance can elucidate these interactions...
Decreased Carbon Accumulation Feedback Driven by Climate‐Induced Drying of Two Southern Boreal Bogs over Recent Centuries
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...
Divergent Estimates of Herd‐wide Caribou Calf Survival: Ecological Factors and Methodological Biases
Resource
Abstract Population monitoring is a critical part of effective wildlife management, but methods are prone to biases that can hinder our ability to accurately track changes in populations through time...
Environmental Spaces for Palsas and Peat Plateaus are Disappearing at a Circumpolar Scale
Resource
The anthropogenic climate change threatens northern permafrost environments. This compromises the existence of permafrost landforms, such as palsas and peat plateaus, which have been assessed to be...
Factors Contributing to the Cultural and Spatial Variability of Landscape Burning by Native Peoples of Interior Alaska
Resource
This article analyzes the geographical extent to which native peoples of Interior Alaska used fire to modify the landscape at the time of European contact. Although wildfire has been central to the...
Functional Response to Cumulative Effects as an Effective Tool for Wildlife Management
Resource

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...
Intra- and Interspecific Variation in Spectral Properties of Dominant Sphagnum Moss Species in Boreal Peatlands
Resource
Boreal peatlands store ~25 % of global soil organic carbon and host many endangered species; however, they face degradation due to climate change and anthropogenic drainage. In boreal peatlands...
