Rusty Blackbird (Euphagus carolinus ) Population and Distribution Data in the Athabasca and Cold Lake Oil Sands Regions of Alberta using Automated Recording Units (ARUs)
Resource
The Rusty Blackbird ( Euphagus carolinus ) was listed as Special Concern on Schedule 1 of the federal Species at Risk Act in March 2009 because of large and longterm declines in population size. The...
Sampling, Handling, and Preparation of Peat Cores From Bogs: Review of Recent Progress and Perspectives for Trace Element Research
Resource
Peat bogs are valuable archives of environmental change, including climate history, landscape evolution, and atmospheric deposition of trace elements, fallout radionuclides, and organic contaminants...
Sampling Techniques to Detect Canopy Infestations of the Hemlock Woolly Adelgid
Resource
Hemlock woolly adelgid ( Adelges tsugae Annand) has recently invaded Canada and is threatening the survival of eastern hemlock. An important part of the management of the hemlock woolly adelgid is...
Save Our Species: A Blueprint for Restoring Butternut (Juglans cinerea) across Eastern North America
Resource
Butternut is a relatively uncommon hardwood tree native to eastern North America. The species’ abundance has declined over the past 50 years, primarily because of an invasive pathogen ( Ophiognomonia...
Saving Endangered Species Using Adaptive Management
Resource
Adaptive management is a powerful means of learning about complex ecosystems, but is rarely used for recovering endangered species. Here, we demonstrate how it can benefit woodland caribou, which...
Seed Collection Guide for Six Boreal Plants Important to Indigenous Peoples
Resource
This publication is intended to be a source for plant identification and seed collection and is available to all who wish to use it. We aimed to make the information in this guide illustrative for...
Seed Shelters Improve Black Spruce Establishment and Survival on Upland Cutovers
Resource
This note presents fifth-year stocking, density, and height growth results for three lowland and three upland seed spot experiments that compare untreated/unsheltered black spruce seed spots with...
Seedwhere: A Computer Tool for Tree Planting and Ecological Restoration
Resource
It is generally recognized that plants are genetically adapted to the prevailing climate. Planting stock is often moved across environmental gradients with little knowledge of the ecological risks...
Short Rotation Woody Crop
Resource
Providing the knowledge needed to mitigate climate change effects and improve forest management, this long-term research by the CWFC could expand the circular bio-economy through high-yield crops that...
Short-Interval Wildfire and Drought Overwhelm Boreal Forest Resilience
Resource
The size and frequency of large wildfires in western North America have increased in recent years, a trend climate change is likely to exacerbate. Due to fuel limitations, recently burned forests...
Short-Term Dynamics of Beaver Dam Flow States
Resource
Beavers ( Castor canadensis and C. fiber) build dams that modify catchment and pond water balances, and it has been suggested that they can be a nature-based solution for reducing flood hydrographs...
Short-term Effects of Wildfire in Boreal Peatlands: Does Fire Mitigate the Linear Footprint of Oil and Gas Exploration?
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...
Silvicultural Treatments for Black Spruce Establishment in Boreal Ontario: Effects of Weed Control, Stock Type, and Planting Season
Resource
Four field experiments were carried out to assess the performance of black spruce ( Picea mariana [Mill.] B.S.P.) outplants in relation to: weed control (i.e., with vs. without), stock type (i.e...
Site Restoration. Step 1: Looking Back to the Past
Resource
Because natural resources development causes landscape disturbance, post-development site restoration requires an in-depth knowledge of previous conditions. What did the landscape look like before...
Size and Optical Properties of Dissolved Organic Matter in Large Boreal Rivers During Mixing: Implications for Carbon Transport and Source Discrimination
Resource
The functionality of dissolved organic matter (DOM) in natural waters largely depends upon its size and composition. Identifying the sources, associated properties and transport behavior of DOM is...
Size Requirements of Intact Forest Landscapes for Effective Biodiversity Conservation under Regional Fire Regimes and Climate Change
Resource
Conserving large intact forest landscapes (IFLs) is one forest management strategy to mitigate industrial impacts on the environment. Measuring the IFL inventory at national scales has also been...
