Community-level Modelling of Boreal Forest Mammal Distribution in an Oil Sands Landscape
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...
Constructed Wetland Pilot Project at the Strachan Gas Plant
Resource
A pilot scale constructed wetland was built at the Strachan Gas Plant to evaluate its ability to treat dissolved phase hydrocarbons in groundwater. The overall objective was to assess the feasibility...

Organization
The Alberta Environment and Parks (AEP) Subsoil Salinity Tool (SST) Version 3.0 is a software tool used to generate Tier 2A and 2B Subsoil Remediation Guidelines (SRGs) for chloride, SAR and sodium...
Determining the Importance of Grizzly Bear Predation on Central Mountain Caribou Populations: Final Report
Resource
To gain a better understanding of possible impacts of grizzly bears on central mountain caribou populations, we investigated three separate but inter-related topics concerning grizzly bear predation...
Determining the Importance of Grizzly Bear Predation on Southern Mountain Caribou Populations
Resource
The goal of this project is to determine to what extent grizzly bear predation might be influencing caribou populations in west-central Alberta. We use existing datasets supplemented with additional...
Disturbance Zones of Influence on Boreal Songbird Communities in Northeastern Alberta
Resource
Canada’s boreal forest is important habitat for many North American birds, which play a vital role in the health of forests, and provide ecosystem services. Expanding human development in northern...
Divergent Patterns of Understory Forage Growth After Seismic Line Exploration: Implications for Caribou Habitat Restoration
Resource
Using field data from 351 seismic lines across [Alberta], and focusing on forage taxa preferred by moose and bears, we [investigated the effects of seismic line clearing on forage and resilience]
Do Oil and Gas Activities and Access Control Measures Affect the Distribution, Abundance and Movements of Grizzly Bears?
Resource
To understand how oil and gas activities and access control measures, particularly gates, influences grizzly bears and their habitats in Alberta, we used multiple data sources including spatial layers...
Ecologically-based Criteria to Assess the Impact and Recovery of Seismic Lines: The Importance of Width, Regeneration, and Seismic Density
Resource
We conducted a series of surveys to evaluate wildlife responses to different types of seismic lines in bogs, conifer‐dominated, mixedwood and deciduous forests in the western boreal forest. Research...
Effects of Oil and Gas Development on Grassland Birds
Resource
Grassland bird populations have declined significantly over the past century, largely due to anthropogenic habitat loss and degradation. It is estimated that approximate 20% of original native...
Efficient Monitoring of Wildlife Responses to Seismic Line Restoration in the Algar Habitat Restoration Program
Resource
This project has clearly demonstrated the utility of camera trap surveys for monitoring restoration effectiveness in boreal environments. The cameras facilitated the collection of longitudinal data on...
Evaluating the Revegetation Success of Foothills Fescue Grassland
Resource
Seeding fescue grassland is often associated with low emergence and poor establishment. Alternative methods for re-vegetating fescue grassland include fescue plugs and the use of native hay. Each...
Evaluation of Reclamation Practices on Upland and Peatland Wellsites
Resource
Need for clear direction on information required to support professional justification which describes why specific deficiencies will not have long term adverse environmental impacts and/or affect ELC
Examining Drivers of Post-Fire Seismic Line Ecotone Regeneration in a Boreal Peatland Environment
Resource
Seismic lines are the dominant anthropogenic disturbance in the boreal forest of the Canadian province of Alberta, fragmenting over 1900 km 2 of peatland areas and accounting for more than 80% of all...
Experimental Design for Estimating White-Tailed Deer Occupancy, Density, and Habitat Selection in Alberta’s Boreal Forest
Resource
In this year we analyzed the study landscape using GIS, reclassified AVI data into deer habitat categories, and created the experimental design for sampling deer occupancy using remote cameras. We...
Factors Driving Territory Size and Breeding Success in a Threatened Migratory Songbird, the Canada Warbler
Resource
Successful conservation of migratory birds demands we understand how habitat factors on the breeding grounds influences breeding success. Multiple factors are known to directly influence breeding...
Field-scale Assessment of Phytoremediation of a Flare-Pit Soil in Carlyle, SK: Year 4 Overview
Resource
A cooperative trial to test the use of vegetation to enhance treatment of soils contaminated with weathered petroleum hydrocarbons (PHCs) was initiated in 2002. Experimental protocols were adapted...
Grizzly Bear Response to Oil and Gas Activities in Alberta
Resource
In 2010 and 2011, the Foothills Research Institute Grizzly Bear Program (FRIGBP) received funding from the Alberta Upstream Petroleum Research Fund (AUPRF) and other program partners to investigate...
Grizzly Bears and Pipelines: Response to Unique Linear Features
Resource
This report includes results from two years of research investigating grizzly bear response to oil and gas pipelines in the Kakwa region of west-central Alberta. We investigated grizzly bear habitat...
