Large Animal Models for Chronic Wasting Disease
Resource
Chronic wasting disease (CWD) is a fatal neurodegenerative prion disease of cervid species including deer, elk, moose and reindeer. The disease has shown both geographic and species expansion since...
Modeled Production, Oxidation, and Transport Processes of Wetland Methane Emissions in Temperate, Boreal, and Arctic Regions
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...
Natural Climate Solutions for Canada
Resource
Alongside the steep reductions needed in fossil fuel emissions, natural climate solutions (NCS) represent readily deployable options that can contribute to Canada’s goals for emission reductions. We...
Nutrition Integrates Environmental Responses of Ungulates
Resource
1. Nutrition influences most aspects of animal ecology: juvenile growth rates and adult mass gain, body condition, probability of pregnancy, over-winter survival, timing of parturition, and neonatal...
Population Structure and Hybridization of Alaskan Caribou and Reindeer: Integrating Genetics and Local Knowledge
Resource
Abstract Alaskan caribou ( Rangifer tarandus granti) are a valued game species and a key grazer in Alaska's terrestrial ecosystem. Caribou herds, defined by female fidelity to calving grounds, are...
Population Structure and Hybridization of Alaskan Caribou and Reindeer: Integrating Genetics and Local Knowledge
Project
Organization:
This PhD project is an interdisciplinary study. The researcher used interviews with herders and hunters, local observations, and genetic analysis to understand how historical processes influence...
Potential Utilization of Native Prairie Grasses from Western Canada as Ethanol Feedstock
Resource
The utilization of native grass species for potential biomass feedstocks of the emerging ethanol industry requires more information about their cellulose and hemicellulose concentration. Ten native...
Rapid Transformation of Tundra Ecosystems From Ice-wedge Degradation
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...
Setting a Foundation for Indigenous Knowledge Systems-guided Boreal Caribou (tǫdzı) Conservation Planning in the Western Boreal Region of Canada: A Systematic Map Protocol
Resource
Abstract In recent years, researchers have increasingly recognized the need to bridge Western and Indigenous knowledge systems to strengthen research in wildlife conservation. Historically, this arena...
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...
The Boreal-Arctic Wetland and Lake Dataset
Resource
Here we present the Boreal–Arctic Wetland and Lake Dataset (BAWLD), a land cover dataset based on an expert assessment, extrapolated using random forest modelling from available spatial datasets of...
The Study of Human-caribou Systems in the Face of Change: Using Multiple Disciplinary Lenses
Resource
Abstract Barren-ground caribou herds are part of social-ecological systems that are of critical importance to northern Indigenous Peoples of the Arctic, contributing to nutritional, cultural, and...
The Study of Human-caribou Systems in the Face of Change: Using Multiple Disciplinary Lenses
Project
Organization:
This PhD project uses multiple disciplinary lenses to understand the dynamics of the social-ecological systems that are of critical importance to northern Indigenous Peoples of the Arctic. Barren...
Using Tree Ring Analysis to Determine Impacts of a Road on a Boreal Peatland

Video - Bridging Planning Processes: Vermilion Watershed Project
Resource
This presentation describes the watershed planning process for the Vermilion River.
Video - Comparing Soil and Crop Management in Kazakhstan and Alberta
Resource
Dr. Frank Larnery compares soils and crop management in Akmola province, Kazakhstan with cropping in the black soil zone of Alberta.
Video - Evaluation of BMPs on the Lower Little Bow River
Resource
At the 2013 Alberta Soil Science Workshop, Dr. Jim Miller covered the extensive and long term results of riparian protection (streambank fencing and offsite watering for cattle pastures) on stream water quality and biology plus the benefits and costs for cattleman.
