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 Population Management Working Group (PMWG) of the NBCKC
Page
Established in 2020, the Population Management Working Group (PMWG), part of the National Boreal Caribou Knowledge Consortium (NBCKC), is a forum to share and generate new knowledge regarding...
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.
The Potential Supply of Carbon-related Ecosystem Services from Land Management Choices in Alberta’s Agricultural Lands
Resource
The results showed a pronounced variation in the historic supply of soil organic carbon and aboveground biomass in the watershed. Land management resulted in a diverse range of gains or losses.
The Prado Wetlands: 24 Years of River Diversion Treatment Wetlands Reducing Nitrate and Phosphate while Increasing an Endangered Bird
Resource
Nitrate pollution of surface water from farms and urban runoff is widespread – impairing drinking water supplies, recreation, and wildlife habitat. The scale of the problem in rivers has overwhelmed...
The Reclamation and Management of Garbage Dumps and Gravel Pits in Alberta
Resource
Through the development of two Department of Environment programs; namely, the Regional Landfill Program and the H.S.T.F. Land Reclamation Program and the enactment of the Sand and Gravel regulations...
The Relationship between Reclamation and Sustainable Economic Development
Resource
Reclamation of the land surface is what makes non-renewable resource developments sustainable. We must continue to strive to improve our science so that we can prove to regulators and the public that
The Restorative Continuum
Resource
The Restorative Continuum includes a range of activities and interventions that can improve environmental conditions and reverse ecosystem degradation and landscape fragmentation. The continuum...
The Role of Digital Data Entry in Participatory Environmental Monitoring
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 Role of Hummocks in Re-establishing Black Spruce Forest Following Permafrost Thaw
Resource

The Role of Introgression and Ecotypic Parallelism in Delineating Intraspecific Conservation Units
Resource
Abstract: Parallel evolution can occur through selection on novel mutations, standing genetic variation or adaptive introgression. Uncovering parallelism and introgressed populations can complicate...
The Role of Microhabitat for Bryophyte Establishment in Reclamation of Boreal Wetlands
Resource
Minerogenous peatlands that accumulate deep deposits of organic matter (fens) were an important part of the pre-disturbance landscape across Alberta’s oil sands mining area. Bryophytes occupy 80–100%...
The Role of Microtopography in Vegetation Colonization and Early Forest Development on Mine Reclamation Sites
Resource
Microsite heterogeneity is an important variable that drives biodiversity in forests. Current forest reclamation practices often do not incorporate site heterogeneity in their practices which might...
The Role of Weather and Long-Term Prey Dynamics as Drivers of Wolf Population Dynamics in a Multi-Prey System
Resource
As climate change accelerates in northern latitudes, there is an increasing need to understand the role of climate in influencing predator-prey systems. We investigated wolf population dynamics and...
The Scale of Effect of Landscape Context Varies with the Species’ Response Variable Measured
Resource
Abstract: Context To detect an effect of landscape context on a species’ response, the landscape variables need to be measured within the appropriate distance from the species’ response, i.e. at the...
The Science at the Canadian Forest Service in Genomics and Climate Change in Relation to the 2 Billion Trees Program
Resource
This brochure encompasses current knowledge stemming from research in genomics and climate change as it relates to the 2 Billion Trees Program. This knowledge is presented based on an integrated...
