The Long Road to Protecting Critical Habitat for Species at Risk: The Case of Southern Mountain Woodland Caribou
Resource
Identifying habitat that is essential to the recovery of species at risk, known as critical habitat, is a major focus of species at risk legislation, yet there has been little research on the degree...
The Long-term Impact of Pipeline Construction on Solonetzic Mixed Prairie
Resource
Study concentrated on the well-documented 1981 right-of-way, and compared it to the oldest trench, installed in 1957, and to the undisturbed adjacent mixed prairie
The Metabolism of Selected Organic Compounds by Microorganisms in the Athabasca River
Resource
Incubation of samples taken along a transect of the river just downstream from the oil sands plants showed higher rates of microbial degradation on the west bank where effluents and drainage would be
The Multiple Toxicity of Vanadium, Nickel, and Phenol to Fish
Resource
Goal of the project was the establishment of criteria safeguarding fish from toxic effects of mixtures of vanadium, nickel, and phenol to fish; all are associated with oil sands developments
The Multisource Vegetation Inventory (MVI): A Satellite-Based Forest Inventory for the Northwest Territories Taiga Plains
Resource
Wall-to-wall 30 m raster maps of broad forest type, stand height, crown closure, stand volume, total volume, aboveground biomass, and stand age were created for a ~400,000 km2 area, validated with independent data, and generalized into a polygon GIS layer resembling a traditional FI map. The MVI project showed that a reasonably accurate FI map for large, remote, predominantly non-inventoried boreal regions can be obtained at a low cost by combining limited field data with remote sensing data from multiple sources.
The Natural Defences of Trees Against Injury and Disease
Resource
Trees are constantly exposed to a multitude of micro-organisms, but only a few are capable of causing disease. When trees come under attack from micro-organisms, their primary line of defence is a...
The Ongoing Lateral Expansion of Peatlands in Finland
Resource
Peatlands are the most dense terrestrial carbon stock and since the last glacial epoch northern peatlands have accumulated between 400 and 1000 Gt of carbon. Although the horizontal development...
The Operational-Scale Carbon Budget Model of the Canadian Forest Sector (CBM-CFS3)
Resource
The scientific community, forest managers, environmental organizations, carbon-offset trading systems and policy-makers require tools to account for forest carbon stocks and carbon stock changes. In...
The OSRIN Story: Five Years of Creating and Sharing Oil Sands Environmental Management Knowledge
Resource
Mandates: 1. Creating oil sands environmental management knowledge, 2. Sharing oil sands environmental management information, and 3. Networking to link researchers with funders and other researchers
The Pan-Canadian Approach and Priority Species
Resource
The Pan-Canadian Approach has identified a set of six "priority" species at risk for collaborative action: barren ground caribou; caribou, boreal population; greater sage grouse; Peary caribou...
The Philosophy and Theory of Ecological Restoration
Resource
We are in the midst of an unprecedented crisis of declining biodiversity. Due to the extent of ecosystem devastation and degradation, reversing the trend requires the restoration of natural systems...
The Potential of Carbon Nanoparticles as a Stimulant to Improve the Propagation of Native Boreal Forest Species: A Mini-Review
Resource
Boreal forests across Canada and other geographic areas globally have vast networks or densities of seismic lines, pipelines, access roads, utility corridors, and multipurpose trails collectively termed “linear disturbances” or “linear features.”
The Potential of Peatlands as Nature-based Climate Solutions
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...
The Potential of Rock Dust Nanoparticles to Improve Seed Germination and Seedling Vigor of Native Species: A Review
Resource
Land degradation as a result of unregulated mineral exploration and mining, negatively impacts local communities and vulnerable ecosystems.
