Occupancy and Abundance of Pond-Breeding Anurans in Boreal Landscapes
Resource
As resource extraction moves north across the globe, wetland ecosystems in Canada are increasingly degraded because of disturbances associated with anthropic activities, including timber harvesting...
Plant Diversity Effect on Water Quality in Wetlands: A Meta-Analysis Based on Experimental Systems
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...
Review of Revegetation Practices for Oil and Gas Disturbances in Western Canada
Resource
Various methods have been developed and used to revegetate sites disturbed by oil and gas activities in Western Canada. Considerable information describing these methods and their effectiveness exists...
Scaling Up the Role of Predation in Caribou Declines in West-Central Alberta (Redwillow, Narraway, Redrock Prairie Creek, A la Pêche and Little Smoky Ranges)
Resource
Anthropogenic disturbances contribute to the way animals perceive and respond to their environment. These multiple disturbances can additionally act in non-independent ways to shape an animal’s...
Scaling Up the Role of Predation in Caribou Declines in West-Central Alberta (Redwillow, Narraway, Redrock Prairie Creek, A la Pêche and Little Smoky Ranges). 2012 AUPRF project status update
Resource
Avoidance by caribou and increased wolf predation risk in disturbed areas indicate functional habitat loss for caribou, yet these patterns alone do not necessarily imply a demographic impact. Spatial...
Scaling Up the Role of Predation in Caribou Declines in West‐Central Alberta (Redwillow, Narraway, Redrock Prairie Creek, A la Pêche and Little Smoky Ranges). Interim Report
Resource
Our primary goal is to address the relative contributions of forestry and oil and gas production to the decline of caribou populations. This knowledge can then be used to develop appropriate...
The Biophysical Climate Mitigation Potential of Boreal Peatlands During the Growing Season
Resource
Peatlands and forests cover large areas of the boreal biome and are critical for global climate regulation. They also regulate regional climate through heat and water vapour exchange with the...
“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.
Use of Linear Features by Mammal Predators and Prey in Managed Boreal Forests
Resource
In managed boreal forests, logging operations maintain high levels of anthropogenic disturbance in the ecosystem. The establishment of permanent anthropogenic linear features such as logging roads in...
Using LiDAR, Colour Infrared Imagery, and Ground Truth Data for Mapping and Characterizing Vegetation Succession on Disturbance Types: Implications for Woodland Caribou (Rangifer tarandus caribou) Habitat Management
Resource
Woodland caribou (Rangifer tarandus caribou) occur throughout Canada’s boreal forest and have been declining both in distribution and population size along the southern extent of their range...
Vegetation Recovery on Low Impact Seismic Lines in Alberta's Oil Sands and Visual Obstruction of Wolves (Canis lupus) and Woodland Caribou (Rangifer tarandus caribou)
Resource
Low-Impact Seismic (LIS) exploration techniques are being increasingly used in northeastern Alberta, Canada to explore for in-situ oil sands deposits. These narrow (2-4-m wide), meandering man-made...
