The British Columbia government has released the results of its Predator Reduction for Caribou Recovery Engagement Survey. Input was sought from stakeholders, interest groups, and citizens to inform...
British Columbia's Draft Boreal Caribou Protection and Recovery Plan – Public Engagement Results
News
Organization
Results of the public engagement process regarding proposed management measures to support boreal caribou recovery outlined in British Columbia’s Draft Boreal Caribou Protection and Recovery Plan are...
Cadmium in Caribou and Muskoxen from the Canadian Yukon and Northwest Territories
Resource
Cadmium, zinc, copper and metallothionein concentrations were measured in liver and kidney tissue of caribou and muskoxen collected from various sites in the Canadian Yukon and Northwest Territories...
Carbon Gas Exchange, Primary Production and Litter Decomposition of a Restored Fen on a Former Well-Pad
Resource
Over 500,000 oil and gas wells have been drilled in Alberta. Recently updated peatland restoration criteria for well-pads creates incentive for peatland restoration, but little is known about...
Carbon Stocks and Fluxes From a Boreal Conifer Swamp: Filling a Knowledge Gap for Understanding the Boreal C Cycle
Resource
The carbon (C) dynamics of boreal coniferous swamps are a largely understudied component of wetland carbon cycling. We investigated the above- and below-ground carbon stocks and growing season carbon...
Caribou and Reindeer Migrations in the Changing Arctic
Resource
Caribou and reindeer, Rangifer tarandus, are the most numerous and socio-ecologically important terrestrial species in the Arctic. Their migrations are directly and indirectly affected by the seasonal...
Caribou and Wind Turbines (Kivalliq Region) - an Overview of Available Information
Resource
A 22 slide presentation (exported as a pdf) providing an overview of effects of wind turbine development on Caribou.
Caribou Gut Parasites Indirectly Create a Greener Tundra
Resource
An article about research into the ecological impact of gut parasites in caribou. The researchers "...developed a series of mathematical simulations to test how caribou survival, reproduction and...
Caribou Mortality and Disease Prevalence in West-central Alberta
Resource
Woodland caribou are in decline across their range and although the proximate cause of decline is unsustainable rates of predation, health is increasingly recognised as a factor that may contribute to...
Changes to the Hydrology of a Boreal Fen Following the Placement of an Access Road and Below Ground Pipeline
Resource
Study Region A channel fen in the Athabasca Oil Sands Area, Alberta, Canada Study Focus We assessed the hydrological changes to the hydrology of a moderate-rich fen after the construction of a road...
Changes to the Hydrology of a Boreal Fen Following the Placement of an Access Road and Below Ground Pipeline
Resource
We assessed the hydrological changes to the hydrology of a moderate-rich fen after the construction of a road (perpendicular to flow) in 2003 and a pipeline (obliquely to flow) in 2011. New...
Characterizing Spatial and Temporal Variations in Nutrient and CO2 Dynamics Within and Across Peatlands in the Western Boreal Plain, Canada
Resource
This thesis is comprising two studies characterizing nutrient dynamics within the Athabasca Oil Sands region (AOS) of Alberta. The first study simultaneously examined and compared nutrient (nitrogen...
Climate, Land Cover and Topography: Essential Ingredients in Predicting Wetland Permanence
Resource
Wetlands in the Prairie Pothole Region (PPR) are forecast to retract in their ranges due to climate change, and potholes that typically contain ponded water year-round, which support a larger...
CO2 Uptake Decreased and CH4 Emissions Increased in First Two Years of Peatland Seismic Line Restoration
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...
Consistent but Delayed Timing of Precipitation Affects Community Composition of Prairie Pothole Birds and Aquatic Macroinvertebrates, but not Wetland Plants
Resource
The hydroperiod (i.e., the length of time ponded water is present) of prairie potholes is sensitive to climate change. Because snowmelt runoff is the largest contributor to ponded water amounts, a...
Contaminants in Two West Greenland Caribou Populations
Resource
Two caribou populations in West Greenland were sampled and the kidneys, liver and muscle analyzed for contaminants, including aluminum, arsenic, cadmium, copper, lead, mercury, selenium and zinc...
