Large Stocks of Peatland Carbon and Nitrogen are Vulnerable to Permafrost Thaw
Resource
Northern peatlands have accumulated large stocks of organic carbon (C) and nitrogen (N), but their spatial distribution and vulnerability to climate warming remain uncertain. Here, we used machine...
Multispecies Modelling Reveals Potential for Habitat Restoration to Re-establish Boreal Vertebrate Community Dynamics
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...
Native Prey, Not Landscape Change or Novel Prey, Drive Cougar (Puma concolor) Distribution at a Boreal Forest Range Edge
Resource
Many large carnivores, despite widespread habitat alteration, are rebounding in parts of their former ranges after decades of persecution and exploitation. Cougars (Puma concolor) are apex predator...
No Statistical Support for Wolf Control and Maternal Penning as Conservation Measures for Endangered Mountain Caribou
Resource
Abstract Mountain caribou, a behaviourally and genetically distinct set of ecotypes of the Woodland caribou ( Rangifer tarandus caribou) restricted to the mountains of western Canada, have undergone...
Paleolimnological Assessment of Past Hydro-ecological Variation at a Shallow Hardwater Lake in the Athabasca Oil Sands Region Before Potential Onset of Industrial Development
Resource
Effective environmental monitoring requires knowledge of inherent natural variation. In the absence of pre-development monitoring of aquatic ecosystems, paleolimnological approaches have been...
Peatland Restoration Increases Water Storage and Attenuates Downstream Stormflow but Does Not Guarantee an Immediate Reversal of Long-term Ecohydrological Degradation
Resource
Peatland restoration is experiencing a global upsurge as a tool to protect and provide various ecosystem services. As the range of peatland types being restored diversifies, do previous findings...
Plant Functional Traits as Indicator of the Ecological Condition of Wetlands in the Grassland and Parkland of Alberta, Canada
Resource
The analysis of functional trait-habitat relationships has been used to measure the degree to which environmental factors influence the assembly of ecological communities. In the Parkland and...
Potential for Using Remote Sensing to Estimate Carbon Fluxes Across Northern Peatlands – A Review
Resource
Peatlands store large amounts of terrestrial carbon and any changes to their carbon balance could cause large changes in the greenhouse gas (GHG) balance of the Earth's atmosphere. There is still much...
Recent Climate Change has Driven Divergent Hydrological Shifts in High-latitude Peatlands
Resource
High-latitude peatlands are changing rapidly in response to climate change, including permafrost thaw. Here, we reconstruct hydrological conditions since the seventeenth century using testate amoeba...
Reindeer Lichen Transplant Feasibility for Reclamation of Lichen Ecosites on Alberta’s Athabasca Oil Sand Mines
Resource
This project is a pilot study to assess the viability of transplantation as a technique to establish reindeer lichens on reclaimed areas of oil sands surface mines in the Athabasca region of Alberta...
Spatial Structure of Reproductive Success Infers Mechanisms of Ungulate Invasion in Nearctic Boreal Landscapes
Resource
Abstract Landscape change is a key driver of biodiversity declines due to habitat loss and fragmentation, but spatially shifting resources can also facilitate range expansion and invasion. Invasive...
The Role of Digital Data Entry in Participatory Environmental Monitoring
Resource

The Wind Waits for No one
Resource
The Sahtúgot’ı̨nę have lived in the Sahtú Region around Great Bear Lake since time immemorial. Our Elders believe that spirituality is the foundation for our language, culture and worldview and...

Using Remote Camera Traps to Monitor Population Demographics and Community Ecology of Divii (Dall’s sheep): Part of a Community-based Monitoring Program in the Northern Richardson Mountains, NT
Resource
The warming Arctic is undergoing rapid ecological change, influencing wildlife populations, mammal community interactions, and ultimately, the persistence of many species. Collecting the species...
