Lichens: A Limit to Peat Growth?
Resource
The fruticose lichens Cladina stellaris and Cladina rangiferina, form thick mats that can cover large areas of northern peatlands (above c. 50° latitude), including the extensive peatlands of the...
Litter Decomposition and Nutrient Dynamics of Four Macrophytes in Intact, Restored, and Constructed Freshwater Marshes of Canada
Resource
The restoration and construction of wetlands offer opportunities to rewet soils, inhibit decomposition, and enhance nutrient retention in decomposing litters. Here, we report the decomposition rates...
Long Term Population Fluctuations and Winter Foraging Ecology of Arctic Tundra Caribou
Resource
Caribou ( Rangifer tarandus) are affected by density-dependent and -independent processes at various temporal scales. Populations residing on Arctic tundra can be affected by both density-independent...
Long Term Population Fluctuations and Winter Foraging Ecology of Arctic Tundra Caribou
Project
Organization:
This PhD project used Inuit knowledge and aerial survey data across many years to analyse distribution, forage selection, foraging ecology, and physical condition of caribou in the arctic.
Modelling Transverse Mixing of Sediment and Vanadium in a River Impacted by Oil Sands Mining Operations
Resource
A novel, quasi-two-dimensional surface water-quality modelling approach is presented in which the model domain can be discretised in two dimensions, but a one-dimension solver can still be applied to...
Motorized Activity on Legacy Seismic Lines: A Predictive Modeling Approach to Prioritize Restoration Efforts
Resource
Natural regeneration of seismic lines, cleared for hydrocarbon exploration, is slow and often hindered by vegetation damage, soil compaction, and motorized human activity. There is an extensive...
Nested Population Structure of Threatened Boreal Caribou Revealed by Network Analysis
Resource
Delineating relevant local populations of widely distributed species is a common challenge in conservation ecology. Caribou and reindeer ( Rangifer tarandus) are in general decline throughout their...
Northern Biochar for Northern Remediation and Restoration
Resource
Biochar is a soil amendment that results from heating various biological ingredients, such as wood, fish or animal bone under oxygen limited conditions and has proven to promote plant growth, as well...
Northern Boreal Caribou Conservation Should Focus on Anthropogenic Disturbance, not Disturbance-mediated Apparent Competition
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...

Bentley Lecture in Sustainable Agriculture Agriculture is the dominant land use in First Nations in the Canadian Prairies. In this lecture, soil biochemist Melissa Arcand will provide an overview of...
PhytoPet© – A Database of Plants that Play a Role in the Phytoremediation of Petroleum Hydrocarbons
Resource
The cold climate and short growing season characteristic of the major oil and gas producing regions of western Canada make it particularly important to conduct phytoremediation research on plants...

Population Trend Analysis for Boreal Caribou in SK2 Central using Non-invasive Capture-Recapture Analysis (2007 – 2019)
Resource
"A 3-year population monitoring program was put in place for a study area within SK2 Central covering 16,092 km2 using fecal DNA based capture–recapture methods to estimate population sizes and...
Potential Impact of Restricted Caribou (Rangifer tarandus) Consumption on Anemia Prevalence Among Inuit Adults in Northern Canada
Resource
Abstract Background Caribou ( Rangifer tarandus) is the top dietary source of iron and several micronutrients necessary for red blood cell production (erythropoiesis) in the contemporary diet of Inuit...
Preferential Recharge in a Reclaimed Tailings Sand Upland: Implications on Solute Flushing
Resource
Given the potential for moisture limited conditions due to the sub-humid regional climate, ensuring sufficient water availability in these landscapes is a principal concern. This research demonstrates...
Remediation in Northern Climates: How Can Petroleum Hydrocarbon Remediation be Assessed in Soils Under Seasonal Freeze-thaw Conditions?
Resource
Accurate assessment for bioremediation feasibility plays a critical role in developing cost-effective and efficient remediation strategies adapted to northern climates, where warm seasons are short...
