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 Distribution of Nutrients and Organic Matter in Native Mountain Grasslands and Reclaimed Coal-mined Areas in Southeastern B.C.
Resource
The study's purpose is to assess the nutrient self-sufficiency of five-year-old reclaimed areas in montane and subalpine environments. Adjacent, undisturbed native grasslands were also studied for...
The Effects of Maternal Penning on the Movement Ecology of Mountain Caribou
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...
The Effects of Variable Retention Harvesting on Caribou Terrestrial Forage Lichens
Resource
Northern caribou depend on terrestrial lichens as a primary source of food during winter. This paper illustrates how changes in harvesting intensity affect terrestrial lichen abundance, species...
The Essential Carbon Service Provided by Northern Peatlands
Resource
Northern peatlands have cooled the global climate by accumulating large quantities of soil carbon (C) over thousands of years. Maintaining the C sink function of these peatlands and their immense long...
The Spatial Patterns of Anthropogenic Disturbance in the Western Canadian Boreal Forest Following Oil and Gas Development
Resource
Resource development can have significant consequences for the distribution of vegetation cover and for species persistence. Modelling changes to anthropogenic disturbance regimes over time can...
The Unrecognized Importance of Carbon Stocks and Fluxes from Swamps in Canada and the USA
Resource
Swamps are a highly significant wetland type in North America both in terms of areal extent and their role in terrestrial carbon cycling. These wetlands, characterized by woody vegetation cover...
Theses - University of British Columbia
Project
Organization:
The UBC Theses and Dissertations collection promotes open and comprehensive access to a significant body of unique knowledge created by graduate students to support further research and for private...
Trophic Consequences of Terrestrial Eutrophication for a Threatened Ungulate
Resource
Conservation actions directed at the proximate cause of caribou decline have been more successful in the near term than those directed further along the trophic chain.
"Two-Eyed Seeing": An Indigenous Framework to Transform Fisheries Research and Management
Resource
Increasingly, fisheries researchers and managers seek or are compelled to “bridge” Indigenous knowledge systems with Western scientific approaches to understanding and governing fisheries. Here, we...
Use of Island and Mainland Shorelines by Woodland Caribou during the Nursery Period in Two Northern Ontario Parks
Resource
Predation is considered a primary limiting factor of woodland caribou ( Rangifer tarandus caribou) populations across North America. Caribou are especially vulnerable to predation during their first...
Using Perceptions as Evidence to Improve Conservation and Environmental Management
Resource
The conservation community is increasingly focusing on the monitoring and evaluation of management, governance, ecological, and social considerations as part of a broader move toward adaptive...
Video - Assessment of forest attributes using airborne and terrestrial LiDAR
Resource
This presentation discusses the different ways that LiDAR data can be effectively used in forestry management applications.
Video - Ecological Resiliency
Resource
This introductory lecture at the seminar on Resiliency of Reclaimed Boreal Forest Landscapes discusses the two sides of the coin, ecosystem resilience and engineering resilience.
Video - From Point Cloud to Supporting Decisions: Making use of your LiDAR data
Resource
This presentation discusses how to use LiDAR data, in particular for forestry, but also for other government and industry applications.
Video - The TRIA Project: Genomics of the Mountain Pine Beetle system
Resource
This presentation discusses the TRIA Project and it's use related to mountain pine beetle populations, physiological genomics and risk modeling.
Video - Too Much and Too Little Water, Adaptation Strategies for Municipalities
Resource
This presentation discusses explains how climate change and land use changes impact water supply and how we can adapt.
Video - Where Do You Look for Evidence of Fires From Thousands of Years Ago?
Resource
This presentation describes how coring lake sediments gives us information on fire history, providing data on fire frequency, severity and what actually burned.
Weaving Indigenous Knowledge Systems and Western Sciences in Terrestrial Research, Monitoring and Management in Canada: A Protocol for a Systematic Map
Resource
Human activities and development have contributed to declines in biodiversity across the globe. Understanding and addressing biodiversity loss will require the mobilization of diverse knowledge...
