Drivers and Impacts of the Record-Breaking 2023 Fire Season
Resource
A video outlining the major drivers and impacts of the record-breaking 2023 wildfire season in Canada. A PDF of the PowerPoint can be found here.
Early Successional Plant Community Dynamics on a Reclaimed Oil Sands Mine in Comparison With Natural Boreal Forest Communities
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...
Earth Observation for Improved Regulatory Decision Making in Alberta – Workshop Report
Resource
NRCan pilot science projects have proven that Earth Observation can provide relevant and valuable information to inform and enhance monitoring and support regulatory frameworks
Eastern Canadian Temperate Deciduous Forest
Resource
The Canadian National Vegetation Classification (CNVC) is an ecological classification of natural and semi-natural Canadian vegetation. The classification is a hierarchical taxonomy, describing...
Eastern North American Temperate Hardwood – Conifer Forest
Resource
The Canadian National Vegetation Classification (CNVC) is an ecological classification of natural and semi-natural Canadian vegetation. The classification is a hierarchical taxonomy, describing...
Ecological Bench-marking and Biomonitoring for Detection of Airborne Pollutant Effects on Vegetation and Soils
Resource
There was only very limited evidence of biological responses to increased pollutant content in spite of significantly higher pollutant levels in tissues close to existing industrial developments.
Ecological Issues Related to Second-growth Boreal Forest Management in Eastern Quebec, Canada: Expert Perspectives from a Delphi Process
Resource
The Eastern boreal forests of Quebec, Canada, have been extensively harvested over the past decades. Second growth stands originating from sites harvested between 1920 and 1950 will soon reach the...
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...
Economic Impacts of Short Rotation Woody Crops in Canada
Resource
Canada is seeking cost-effective means to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions, particularly CO2. One of the promising means is the short rotation woody crops (SRWC) plantation, a silvicultural approach...
Ecosystem Management in Paludified Boreal Forests: Enhancing Wood Production, Biodiversity, and Carbon Sequestration at the Landscape Level
Resource
Canada’s boreal forest represents an important contributor of the world’s wood supply industry. However, maintaining or increasing productivity of the boreal forest may be challenging in areas...
Ecotypic Variation in the Reproductive Response of Poa alpina
Resource
In 1983 the Alberta Environmental Centre (AEC) at Vegreville began a program to develop licensed, commercially available seed varieties suitable for use in the reclamation of rangeland and man-made...
Edge Effects of Conventional Seismic Lines in Northern Alberta Peatlands
Resource
Research poster presented at the NAIT 7th Seminar on Linear Disturbance Impacts on Boreal Wetland Ecosystems.
Edge Influence of Low-impact Seismic Lines for Oil Exploration on Upland Forest Vegetation in Northern Alberta (Canada).
Resource
Low-impact seismic (LIS) techniques were developed to reduce the environmental footprint of oil exploration. Though relatively narrow (~2–3 m) and constructed with light-weight equipment, these lines...
Effect of Grasses and Soil Amendments on Soil Aggregates and Aggregate Strength
Resource
Four solum and subsoil materials from Alberta were treated to determine if soil aggregation and aggregate strength could be increased to reduce succeptibility to soil compaction. Each soil was treated...
Effect of Seed Production and Soil Scarification on the Natural Regeneration of a Second-Growth Fir Stand in the Lower St. Lawrence Region
Resource
This study examines the relationship between seed production, soil scarification and seedling establishment in balsam fir ( Abies balsamea [L.] Mill.) and white spruce ( Picea glauca [Moench] Voss)...
Effective Strategies for the Restoration of Disturbed Sites
Resource
Understanding the ecology of recovery processes allows effective restoration strategies for disturbed sites to be developed. Since pioneering species occur over broad ecological and geographic ranges...
Effectiveness of Soil Conservation Procedures on Recent Major Pipeline Construction in Western Canada
Resource
The effectiveness of a soil conservation method employed on recent major pipeline construction in Western Canada was investigated. Prior to any major construction activities, topsoil was salvaged over...
