A Review and Assessment of the Baseline Data Relevant to the Impacts of Oil Sands Developments on Large Mammals in the AOSERP Study Area
Resource
Major gaps in the baseline knowledge of woodland caribou were: distribution , seasonal habitat use, the effects of sensory disturbance, and population density; minor gap re: direct mortality
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...
Above- and Belowground Community Linkages in Boreal Climate Warming Implications
Resource
Aboveground plants provide resources to the belowground microbial community via plant litter and, in turn, the belowground microbial community provides nutrients for plant uptake, linking the two...
Amphibians and Reptiles in the AOSERP Study Area
Resource
Wood frog (Rana sylvatica) was the most abundant and widespread species in 20 sites examined. Boreal chorus frogs (Pseudacris triseriata maculata) and Canadian toads (Bufohemiophrys) found at
An Assessment of the Adequacy of Baseline Data Relevant to the Documentation and Evaluation of the Impacts of Oil Sands Developments on Large Mammals in the AOSERP Study Area.
Resource
An analysis of the applied research necessary to allow evaluation of the effects of oil sands development on large mammals by a review and evaluation of the available baseline data
An Automated Framework to Identify Lost and Restorable Wetlands in the Prairie Pothole Region
Resource
While progress has been made in automating wetland identification, identifying lost and restorable wetlands remains a challenge. A suite of automated methods was developed and applied to the Nose...
Community-Based Participatory Research (Cbpr) with Indigenous Communities: Producing Respectful and Reciprocal Research
Resource
The health disparities between Indigenous and non-Indigenous peoples in Canada continue to grow despite an expanding body of research that attempts to address these inequalities, including increased...
Demand for Nonprovisioning Ecosystem Services as a Driver of Change in the Canadian Boreal Zone
Resource
The Canadian boreal zone provides ecosystem services from local to global scales. Either directly or indirectly, demands for these services have and will continue to serve as drivers of change in the...
Interim Report on a Soils Inventory in the Athabasca Oil Sands Area 1978
Resource
The emphasis in this inventory is on soils and the landforms on which they occur; both are indicated on maps. Air photo interpretation and field checking have been completed
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...
Peat Swamp Hydrological Connectivity and Runoff Vary by Hydrogeomorphic Setting: Implications for Carbon Storage
Resource
Despite their importance in carbon cycling and catchment runoff dynamics, the hydrology of temperate peat swamps in response to changing hydrometeorological conditions is largely understudied. We...
Plant mercury Accumulation and Litter Input to a Northern Sedge-dominated Peatland
Resource
Abstract Plant foliage plays an essential role in accumulating mercury (Hg) from the atmosphere and transferring it to soils in terrestrial ecosystems, and many studies have focused on forested...
Simulated Climate Warming Increases Plant Community Heterogeneity in To Types of Boreal Peatlands in North Central 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...
Soils Inventory of the Alberta Oil Sands Environmental Research Program Study Area
Resource
Recurring patterns of soils, landforms, and vegetation were delineated. The information was transferred first to 1:50,000 preliminary maps and then to eight 1:126,720 maps which accompany this report
