Alberta Regional Caribou Knowledge Network Announce Request for Proposals
News
Organization
The Alberta Regional Caribou Knowledge Network, a partnership between Alberta's government and forest sector, is currently accepting proposals for two research opportunities. Researchers and...
Alternative Silvicultural Systems & Harvesting Techniques for Caribou Habitat: Summary Version
Resource
Urgent action is required to reverse caribou population declines that are occurring throughout Alberta and to meet federal targets for reducing habitat disturbance under the Species at Risk Act...
Alternative Silvicultural Systems and Harvesting Techniques for Caribou Habitat

Urgent action is required to reverse caribou population declines that are occurring throughout Alberta and to meet Federal targets for reducing habitat disturbance under the Species at Risk Act...
Biogeochemical Response to Vegetation and Hydrologic Change in an Alaskan Boreal Fen Ecosystem
Resource
Boreal peatlands store approximately one third of the earth’s terrestrial carbon, locked away in currently waterlogged and frozen conditions. Peatlands of boreal and arctic ecosystems are affected...
Caribou Ecology and Recovery Webinar Series - "Indigenous-led Conservation: Pathways to Recovery for the Nearly Extirpated Klinse-Za Mountain Caribou"
Event
Organization
Join us to explore the latest research supporting caribou ecology and recovery in Canada—from the mechanisms of caribou declines to potential recovery options. This series is co-hosted by the Caribou...
Expansion of white-tailed deer populations in boreal landscapes and its implications for managing woodland caribou
Event
Organization
The Alberta Regional Caribou Knowledge Partnership (ARCKP) is pleased to present "Expansion of white-tailed deer populations in boreal landscapes and its implications for managing woodland caribou."...
Exploring the Implementation of Aggregated Harvest in Woodland Caribou Ranges
Event
Organization
The Alberta Regional Caribou Knowledge Partnership (ARCKP) is pleased to present "Exploring the Implementation of Aggregated Harvest in Woodland Caribou Ranges." This webinar, presented by Logan Purdy...
Increasing Contributions of Peatlands to Boreal Evapotranspiration in a Warming Climate
Resource
The response of evapotranspiration (ET) to warming is of critical importance to the water and carbon cycle of the boreal biome, a mosaic of land cover types dominated by forests and peatlands. The...
Literature Review - Caribou, Fire, and Forestry
Resource
With of goal of understanding how silviculture and harvesting practices might mirror those of natural disturbances, here we summarize research describing differences in responses of caribou and...
Mechanized Tree Planting in Sweden and Finland: Current State and Key Factors for Future Growth
Resource
In Fennoscandia, mechanized tree planting is time-efficient and produces high-quality regeneration. However, because of low cost-efficiency, the mechanization of Fennoscandian tree planting has been...

Organization
The Alberta Regional Caribou Knowledge Partnership (ARCKP) is committed to supporting initiatives that provide management direction for woodland caribou conservation on working landscapes. Drawing...
Peat Loss Collocates with a Threshold in Plant–Mycorrhizal Associations in Drained Peatlands Encroached by Trees
Resource
Drainage-induced encroachment by trees may have major effects on the carbon balance of northern peatlands, and responses of microbial communities are likely to play a central mechanistic role. We...
Satellite Determination of Peatland Water Table Temporal Dynamics by Localizing Representative Pixels of A SWIR-Based Moisture Index
Resource
The OPtical TRApezoid Model (OPTRAM) is a physically-based approach for remote soil moisture estimation. OPTRAM is based on the response of short-wave infrared (SWIR) reflectance to vegetation water...
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...

Resource
The Exchange: Sharing Knowledge, Inspiring Solutions, is a regular knowledge exchange publication produced by the Alberta Regional Caribou Knowledge Partnership (ARCKP). It features concise, brief...
The Third Generation of Pan-Canadian Wetland Map at 10 m Resolution Using Multisource Earth Observation Data on Cloud Computing Platform
Resource
Development of the Canadian Wetland Inventory Map (CWIM) has thus far proceeded over two generations, reporting the extent and location of bog, fen, swamp, marsh, and water wetlands across the country...
Video - Using Pellet-group Counts to Illustrate Changes in Reindeer Habitat Use in a Managed Boreal Forest
Resource
At the 14th North American Caribou Workshop, held in September 2012, Anna Skarin presented research conducted in northern Sweden on the effects of new infrastructure on semi-domesticated reindeer in the area.
