How Linear Features Alter Predator Movement and the Functional Response
Resource
In areas of oil and gas exploration, seismic lines have been reported to alter the movement patterns of wolves (Canis lupus). We developed a mechanistic first passage time model, based on an...
Hydrological Functions of a Peatland in a Boreal Plains Ecosystem
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...
Incentives, Frameworks, and a Path to Habitat Restoration in Alberta
Resource
Presentation from the Seismic Line Restoration Technical Session Edmonton, AB December 1 st , 2016 Organized by the Canadian Institute of Forestry This technical session will facilitate discussion and...
Insect-mediated Apparent Competition Between Mammals in a Boreal Food Web
Resource
While the important role of animal-mediated interactions in the top-down restructuring of plant communities is well documented, less is known of their ensuing repercussions at higher trophic levels...
Inuit Knowledge of Long-term Changes in a Population of Arctic Tundra Caribou
Resource
Indigenous peoples possess knowledge about wildlife that dates back many generations. Inuit observations of historical changes in a caribou population on southern Baffin Island, collected from 43...
Linear Feature Restoration in Caribou Habitat: A Summary of Current Practices and a Roadmap for Future Programs
Resource
Why would a user need this: Seismic line restoration, legacy well site restoration, linear disturbance restoration, reforestation, silviculture boreal best practice, industry solutions land...
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

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...
Plow-in Pipeline Construction Improves Recovery of Rough Fescue Grassland
Resource
Plow-in pipeline approach resulted in a fescue-bluegrass vegetation community that had the best rough fescue recovery and greatest similarity to undisturbed natural grassland
