Estimating Lichen Biomass in Forests and Peatlands of Northwestern Canada in a Changing Climate
Resource
Climate warming in the North could lead to lichen decline within critical woodland caribou habitat. We used repeat measurements of sixty-nine plots over ten years (2007–2008 and 2017–2018) to assess...
Estimating the Size of the Reclamation and Restoration Economy and Supply Chain in Alberta
Resource
Based on 115 respondents, the survey highlights that the R&R economy in Alberta is robust, with 2 056 employees working at least part-time and 1 488 fulltime equivalent positions.
Estimating Tree Species Composition From Airborne Laser Scanning Data Using Point-based Deep Learning Models
Resource
Airborne laser scanning (ALS) data has been widely used for total aboveground tree biomass (AGB) modelling, however, there is less research focusing on estimating specific tree biomass components...
Étude des menaces et des risques liés aux espèces exotiques envahissantes forestières
Resource
Invasions by alien organisms into new habitats pose one of the most significant global threats to ecosystem biodiversity and serious threats to economies around the globe. Canada, with its vast...

Examining Management Scenarios to Mitigate Wildfire Hazard to Caribou
Resource
We undertook a wildfire risk assessment across the Cold Lake caribou range where we used the Burn-P3 model to determine: a) burn probability; b) wildfire risk to restored seismic line areas; and c) the effectiveness of mitigation measures. The burn probability of the landscape was highly heterogeneous, and recent large burns and some waterbodies provided “shields” that reduced burn probability on their leeward sides.
Expected Increased Risks of Wildfires in Canadian Wildland-Human Interface Areas
Resource
With climate change, current research predicts an increase in forest fires in the wildland-human interface or WHI; several inhabited areas will be more at risk in the years to come. Despite this...
Exploring Ecological Change in Western and Northern Canada
Resource
A video exploring the methods that researchers use to access ecological changes in Western Canada (including wildfires). A PDF of the PowerPoint can be found here.
Exploring Opportunities for Mitigating the Ecological Impacts of Current and Future Mountain Pine Beetle Outbreaks Through Improved Planning: A Focus on Northeastern British Columbia
Resource
The primary response to the present mountain pine beetle (MPB) epidemic has focused on salvaging beetle-killed wood while it remains economically viable, and developing methods for reducing the spread...

Extending the National Burned Area Composite Time Series of Wildfires in Canada
Resource
This study created a 35-year time series of wildfire burned areas in Canada from 1986 to 2020, using data from satellite imagery and aerial surveys. Wildfires are a major natural disturbance in Canada...
Factors Affecting the Survival of Immature Lodgepole Pine in the Foothills of West-Central Alberta
Resource
Plots were established to monitor the survival of immature lodgepole pine ( Pinus contorta var. latifolia Engelm.) in over 70 cutover areas in the subalpine and boreal forest regions of west-central...
Factors Influencing the Seasonal Diet Selection by Woodland Caribou (Rangifer tarandus tarandus) in Boreal Forest in Ontario
Resource
We used remote video cameras over a two-year period to assess seasonal diet composition of 23 woodland caribou at three areas across the boreal forest of Ontario. Diet varied by season, land-cover...

Fertilization and Thinning Effects on a Douglas-fir Ecosystem at Shawnigan Lake: 15-year Growth Response
Resource
This report documents the 15-year growth response of a Douglas-fir ( Pseudotsuga menziesii (Mirb) Franco) stand to thinning and urea fertilization. The initial treatments were carried out when the...
