Finding Lichen for Caribou
Resource
A storymap website that explains the importance of lichen as a food source for caribou and the first steps of a project for mapping lichen undertaken by Natural Resources Canada's Canada Centre for...
From Diet to Hair and Blood: Empirical Estimation of Discrimination Factors for C and N Stable Isotopes in Five Terrestrial Mammals
Resource
Abstract Carbon and nitrogen stable isotope ratios are used widely to describe wildlife animal diet composition and trophic interactions. To reconstruct consumer diet, the isotopic differences between...
Improving Peary Caribou Presence Predictions in MaxEntUsing Spatialized Snow Simulations
Resource
In this article, the researchers 1) investigate whether a snow model adapted for the Antarctic (SNOWPACK) can produce snow simulations relevant to Canadian High Arctic conditions, and 2) test snow...
Increased Nutrient Availability Speeds up Permafrost Development, While Goose Grazing Slows it Down in a Canadian High Arctic Wetland
Resource
1. It is of prime importance to understand feedbacks due to the release of carbon (C) stored in permafrost soils (permafrost-climate feedback) and direct impacts of climatic variations on permafrost...
Large Stocks of Peatland Carbon and Nitrogen are Vulnerable to Permafrost Thaw
Resource
Northern peatlands have accumulated large stocks of organic carbon (C) and nitrogen (N), but their spatial distribution and vulnerability to climate warming remain uncertain. Here, we used machine...
Linking Habitat, Predators and Alternative Prey to Explain Recruitment Variations of an Endangered Caribou Population
Resource
Habitat loss, fragmentation and alteration are frequently identified as important threats to biodiversity, inducing major changes in the structure and composition of species communities and the...
Links Between Individual Performance, Trace Elements and Stable Isotopes in an Endangered Caribou Population
Resource
Foraging is a key behaviour, and several aspects of foraging remain to be investigated in many wild species. Low energy gain or reduced protein, nutrient, and mineral intake may explain poor...
Modeled Production, Oxidation, and Transport Processes of Wetland Methane Emissions in Temperate, Boreal, and Arctic Regions
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...
Open-Source Based Geo-Platform to Support Management of Wetlands and Biodiversity in Quebec

Regional Variation in Green-up Timing Along a Caribou Migratory Corridor: Spatial Associations with Snowmelt and Temperature
Resource
Abstract Spring green-up in arctic and alpine systems is predominantly controlled by temperature and snowmelt timing preceding and during the growing season. Variation in the timing of green-up across...
The Prado Wetlands: 24 Years of River Diversion Treatment Wetlands Reducing Nitrate and Phosphate while Increasing an Endangered Bird
Resource
Nitrate pollution of surface water from farms and urban runoff is widespread – impairing drinking water supplies, recreation, and wildlife habitat. The scale of the problem in rivers has overwhelmed...
Trophic Niche Partitioning Between Two Prey and Their Incidental Predators Revealed Various Threats for an Endangered Species
Resource
Documenting trophic niche partitioning and resource use within a community is critical to evaluate underlying mechanisms of coexistence, competition, or predation. Detailed knowledge about foraging is...
Video - Caribou Conservation in a Global Context
Resource
Marco Festa-Bianchet presents about some of the factors involved in caribou population declines for forest- and mountain-dwelling caribou.
Webinar - Hot Hot Peat! Managing Boreal Peatland Wildfires in an Era of Climate Change
Resource
This presentation provides an overview of current boreal peatland wildfire research and of management approaches in the face of climate change.
Webinar - Impact of Resource Extraction on Canada's Boreal Peatlands
Resource
This presentation highlights ongoing research in northern Alberta examining peatland carbon and greenhouse gas exchange as a measure of peatland ecosystem function.
Webinar - Remote Sensing of Boreal Wetlands: Strategies and Methods
Resource
This presentation provides an introduction to remote sensing and an overview of remote sensing approaches for mapping boreal wetlands.
Webinar - The Role of Wetlands in Forests and Forest Management
Resource
This presentation highlights the value of wetlands to forest management and the role wetlands play in sustaining healthy forested ecosystems.
