Assessing the Cumulative Impacts of Forest Management on Forest Age Structure Development and Woodland Caribou Habitat in Boreal Landscapes: A Case Study from Two Canadian Provinces
Resource
The Canadian boreal forest biome has been subjected to a long history of management for wood production. Here, we examined the cumulative impacts of logging on older forests in terms of area...
Climate Change Alone Cannot Explain Boreal Caribou Range Recession in Quebec Since 1850
Resource
Abstract The contraction of species range is one of the most significant symptoms of biodiversity loss worldwide. While anthropogenic activities and habitat alteration are major threats for several...
Continental Synchrony and Local Responses: Climatic Effects on Spatiotemporal Patterns of Calving in a Social Ungulate
Resource
Warming temperatures and advancing spring are affecting annual snow and ice cycles, as well as plant phenology, across the Arctic and boreal regions. These changes may be linked to observed population...
Demographic Responses of Boreal Caribou to Cumulative Disturbances Highlight Elasticity of Range-specific Tolerance Thresholds
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...
Drivers of Vegetation Regrowth on Logging Roads in the Boreal Forest: Implications for Restoration of Woodland Caribou Habitat
Resource

Ecosystem Management in Paludified Boreal Forests: Enhancing Wood Production, Biodiversity, and Carbon Sequestration at the Landscape Level
Resource
Canada’s boreal forest represents an important contributor of the world’s wood supply industry. However, maintaining or increasing productivity of the boreal forest may be challenging in areas...
Factors Contributing to the Cultural and Spatial Variability of Landscape Burning by Native Peoples of Interior Alaska
Project
Organization:
In this project, a multidisciplinary research team, together with native community partners, analyzed patterns of human-fire interaction over time and then stratified the predominant anthropogenic...
Factors Contributing to the Cultural and Spatial Variability of Landscape Burning by Native Peoples of Interior Alaska
Resource
This article analyzes the geographical extent to which native peoples of Interior Alaska used fire to modify the landscape at the time of European contact. Although wildfire has been central to the...
Global Change Risks a Threatened Species due to Alteration of Predator–prey Dynamics
Resource
Although global change can reshape ecosystems by triggering cascading effects on food webs, indirect interactions remain largely overlooked. Climate- and land-use-induced changes in landscape cause...
Integrating Coastal Vulnerability and Community-Based Subsistence Resource Mapping in Northwest Alaska
Project
Organization:
This project integrates physical, anthropological, and survey data to assess coastal vulnerability and to identify areas of concern for local and regional planning and environmental protection. This...

Learning from our Elders - Northern Indigenous perspectives on climate and environmental change
Project
Contact
Organization:
Project Description: The project was a short-term research exchange between Indigenous communities and scholars in Canada and Sweden, comparing Elder's perspectives on changing environments and...
Learning from our Elders: Aboriginal Perspectives on Climate Change and Reindeer/Caribou Habitat in the Circumboreal Forest
Resource
Excerpt from resource description: The northernmost regions in the world are projected to suffer the most severe consequences of climate change. Natural resource-based communities and Indigenous...
Management-mediated Predation Rate in the Caribou–Moose–Wolf System: Spatial Configuration of Logging Activities Matters
Resource
Landscape complexity can determine the population dynamics of interacting predators and prey. Yet, management plans are commonly developed from aspatial predictive models. This oversight may result in...

Recent Climate Change has Driven Divergent Hydrological Shifts in High-latitude Peatlands
Resource
High-latitude peatlands are changing rapidly in response to climate change, including permafrost thaw. Here, we reconstruct hydrological conditions since the seventeenth century using testate amoeba...
