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...
Determining the Importance of Grizzly Bear Predation on Central Mountain Caribou Populations: Final Report
Resource
To gain a better understanding of possible impacts of grizzly bears on central mountain caribou populations, we investigated three separate but inter-related topics concerning grizzly bear predation...
Determining the Importance of Grizzly Bear Predation on Southern Mountain Caribou Populations
Resource
The goal of this project is to determine to what extent grizzly bear predation might be influencing caribou populations in west-central Alberta. We use existing datasets supplemented with additional...
Digging Into Canadian Soils - An Introduction to Soil Science
Resource
Written entirely by members of the Canadian Society of Soil Science, "Digging into Canadian Soils: An Introduction to Soil Science" provides an introduction to the core disciplines of soil science...
Disturbance-mediated Apparent Competition Decouples in a Northern Boreal Caribou Range
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 Patterns of Understory Forage Growth After Seismic Line Exploration: Implications for Caribou Habitat Restoration
Resource
Using field data from 351 seismic lines across [Alberta], and focusing on forage taxa preferred by moose and bears, we [investigated the effects of seismic line clearing on forage and resilience]
Do Oil and Gas Activities and Access Control Measures Affect the Distribution, Abundance and Movements of Grizzly Bears?
Resource
To understand how oil and gas activities and access control measures, particularly gates, influences grizzly bears and their habitats in Alberta, we used multiple data sources including spatial layers...
Enhancing Forest Recovery Monitoring With Remote Sensing

Learn how remote sensing and freely available datasets can help advance forest monitoring and management activities.
Fencing Large Predator-Free and Competitor-Free Landscapes for the Recovery of Woodland Caribou in Western Alberta: An Ineffective Conservation Option
Resource
In Canada, boreal woodland caribou (Rangifer tarandus caribou) are listed as “threatened” throughout their range due directly and indirectly to habitat loss. In western Alberta, in order to recover...
Field-scale Assessment of Phytoremediation of a Flare-Pit Soil in Carlyle, SK: Year 4 Overview
Resource
A cooperative trial to test the use of vegetation to enhance treatment of soils contaminated with weathered petroleum hydrocarbons (PHCs) was initiated in 2002. Experimental protocols were adapted...
Foothills Model Forest Grizzly Bear Research Program 1999-2003 Final Report
Resource
The Foothills Model Forest Grizzly Bear Research Program was initiated in 1998 with the first year of fieldwork beginning in the spring of 1999. The impetus for undertaking this program resulted from...
Forestry Increases Predation Risk for Caribou
Resource
This infographic by Sunny Tseng describes the key results from a paper by Tracy McKay and Dr. Laura Finnegan. Forest harvesting changes ungulate densities, which influences caribou predation by shared...
