Effect of Forest Understorey Stand Density on Woodland Caribou Habitat Use
Resource
Woodland caribou ( Rangifer tarandus caribou) are considered to preferentially use older forests that provide abundant terrestrial lichen forage and refuge from predators. However, structural...
Effect of Forest Understory Stand Density on Woodland Caribou (Rangifer tarandus caribou) Habitat Selection
Resource
Woodland caribou ( Rangifer tarandus caribou (Gmelin, 1788)) use older forests that provide abundant terrestrial lichen forage and refuge from predators. However, forest structural characteristics...
Effect of Pipeline Construction on Soil Compaction in Alberta
Resource
No clear relationships emerged between soil Orders, zones, or soil parent materials and the effect of pipeline construction on soil compaction. Soil moisture conditions appear to be more important.
Effect of Pipeline Construction on Soil Strengths of Soil Horizons in Alberta: 1990 Final Report
Resource
At each of the fifteen 1989 study areas and at each of the eight 1988 study areas soil strength was monitored using a cone penetrometer in 15 cm depth increments to a depth of 52.5 cm.
Effect of Plant Functional Type on Methane Dynamics in a Restored Minerotrophic Peatland
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...
Effect of Seed Production and Soil Scarification on the Natural Regeneration of a Second-Growth Fir Stand in the Lower St. Lawrence Region
Resource
This study examines the relationship between seed production, soil scarification and seedling establishment in balsam fir ( Abies balsamea [L.] Mill.) and white spruce ( Picea glauca [Moench] Voss)...
Effectiveness of Population-Based Recovery Actions for Threatened Southern Mountain Caribou
Resource
Habitat loss is affecting many species, including the southern mountain caribou (Rangifer tarandus caribou) population in western North America. Over the last half century, this threatened caribou...
Effects of 2023 Wildfires in Alberta
Resource
Fires are a natural occurrence in Alberta’s forests. In boreal and montane forests, fires—along with other natural disturbances such as insect outbreaks and disease—create a mosaic of stands of...
Effects of Agriculture and Climate Change on Prairie Wetlands
Resource
The Alberta Biodiversity Monitoring Institute (ABMI), InnoTech Alberta, and Ducks Unlimited Canada have partnered on a four-year project to better understand linkages between wetland health and...
Effects of Air Pollutants on the Forest Ecosystem: A Review
Resource
Alberta is in a fortunate situation because most of its soils are underlain by calcareous bedrock and can, therefore, neutralize in-coming acids more efficiently than Canadian Shield areas
Effects of Cell Size and Spacing on Root Density and Field Performance of Container-Reared Black Spruce
Resource
This study examined the effects of nursery rearing in an array of 51 individual fabricated frames that supported a range of six growing cell sizes at 11 plant spacings in all possible combinations. A...
Effects of Cold Stratification on the Germination of Vaccinium myrtilloides (Common Blueberry) and Vaccinium vitis-idaea (Bog Cranberry) Seeds from Alberta, Canada
Resource

Effects of Disturbance on Understory Succession in Upland and Lowland Boreal Forests and Implications for Woodland Caribou (Rangifer tarandus caribou)
Resource
Boreal forest development is influenced by both natural and anthropogenic disturbances that alter stand structure and nutrient cycling over decadal timescales. The effects of disturbance on boreal...
Effects of Elemental Sulfur on Soil pH and Growth of Saskatoon Berry (Amelanchier alnifolia) and Beaked Hazelnut (Corylus cornuta) Seedlings
Resource
The land disturbed by open-pit oil sands mining must be restored to support the survival and growth of native boreal plants. Because tailings sand and sodic shale overburden are commonly used as an...
Effects of Fire Severity and Woody Debris on Tree Regeneration for Exploratory Well Pads in Jack Pine (Pinus banksiana) Forests
Resource
This study compares the effects of wildfire and local variation in the amount of residual woody debris on natural regeneration in jack pine on exploratory well pads in Alberta’s boreal forest.
Effects of Forest Disturbance on Density, Space Use, and Mortality of Woodland Caribou
Resource

Effects of Harvesting Methods on Soil Properties and Forest Productivity in Interior British Columbia
Resource
Seven treatment units in three different clearcut blocks in the Golden Forest District were studied to assess overall soil disturbance levels resulting from ground-based harvesting using two methods...
Effects of Land Use on the Structure and Function of Leaf-litter Microbial Communities in Boreal Streams
Resource
Microbial communities associated with leaf litter in streams provide key ecosystem services through the cycling of energy and nutrients that can be influenced by environmental factors. We examined the...
Effects of Mechanical Site Preparation on Microsite Availability and Growth of Planted Black Spruce in Canadian Paludified Forests
Resource
Low productivity caused by paludification in some parts of the closed black spruce (Picea mariana (Mill.) B.S.P) dominated boreal forest threatens the provision of ecosystem services, including wood...
