A Compendium of Experimental Sites and Scientific Investigations in the Turkey Lakes Watershed
Resource
The Turkey Lakes Watershed (TLW) study is a federal, interdepartmental study established in 1979 to investigate the effects of acid rain on terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems. The 10.5 km2 watershed...
A Decision Support Tool for Assessing Cumulative Effects on an Arctic Migratory Tundra Caribou Population
Resource
Using the caribou cumulative effects model, an existing decision support tool, we evaluate 6 alternative development scenarios, from no leasing to full leasing with standard mitigation conditions
A Framework for Modeling Habitat Quality in Disturbance-prone Areas Demonstrated with Woodland Caribou and Wildfire
Resource
Natural resource managers need adaptable tools for conserving and managing wildlife across landscapes. These tools should use many elements of habitat quality and include natural disturbance, such as...
A Regional Integrated Assessment of the Impacts of Climate Change and of the Potential Adaptation Avenues for Quebec’s Forests
Resource
Regional analyses assessing the vulnerabilities of forest ecosystems and the forest sector to climate change are key to consider the heterogeneity of climate change impacts but also the fact that...
A Regional-Scale Index for Assessing the Exposure of Drinking-Water Sources to Wildfires
Resource
Recent human-interface wildfires around the world have raised concerns regarding the reliability of freshwater supply flowing from severely burned watersheds. Degraded source water quality can often...
A Review of the Intact Forest Landscape Concept in the Canadian Boreal Forest: Its History, Value and Measurement
Resource
Loss of global forest, and in particular forest that has little human disturbance, is a standard against which we measure progress to conserve Earth’s forests. The value of intact forest landscapes...
A Time-series Assessment of Habitat and Connectivity for Caribou in Newfoundland and Labrador
Project

Organization:
Project Description: The primary scope of this project will be an assessment of historical, current, and predicted caribou ranges and space use in the province of Newfoundland and Labrador. This will...
Aboriginal Plant Use in Canada’s Northwest Boreal Forest
Resource
This book describes the traditional Native American uses of more than 200 plants from Northern forests. Over 100 elders contributed information that they felt should be shared with other communities...
Addressing Cumulative Effects of Natural Resource Development in Canada’s Forests
Resource
This Research Agenda identifies research gaps and sets priorities for NRCan-CFS research over the next 5-10 years that will help Canada manage cumulative effects to support forest ecosystem resilience...
Arctic Borderlands Ecological Knowledge Cooperative: Can Local Knowledge Inform Caribou Management?
Project
This project looked at local knowledge of the Porcupine Caribou Herd, collected by the Arctic Borderlands Ecological Knowledge Co-op (ABEKC). While local observations indicated that the herd was...
Arctic Borderlands Ecological Knowledge Cooperative: Can Local Knowledge Inform Caribou Management?
Resource
While quantitative analyses have traditionally been used to measure overall caribou herd health, qualitative observational data can also provide timely information that reflects what people on the...
Assessing the Long-term Economic Interactions between Industrial Forestry Activities, Non-renewable Resource Extraction and Caribou Recovery
Resource
There is an existing gap in knowledge on the economic impacts of caribou recovery measures on forestry activities and non-renewable resource extraction. To address this knowledge gap, this project...
Balancing Large-scale Wildlife Protection and Forest Management Goals with a Game-theoretic Approach
Resource
When adopted, wildlife protection policies in Canadian forests typically cover large areas and affect multiple economic agents working in these landscapes. Such measures are likely to increase the...
Biting Flies and Activity of Caribou in the Boreal Forest
Resource
Habitat loss has been implicated in the decline of forest-dwelling caribou ( Rangifer tarandus caribou), but it is unknown how biting insects, potentially important components of boreal forest habitat...
Boreal Caribou Can Coexist with Natural but Not Industrial Disturbances
Resource
Abstract: For species at risk, it is important that demographic models be consistent with our most recent knowledge because alternate model versions can have differing predictions for wildlife and...
