Uncovering Traits in Recovering Grasslands: A Functional Assessment of Oil and Gas Well Pad Reclamation
Resource
Results suggest that even as practices and policies evolve, reclamation does not fully alleviate the legacy effects of industrial disturbance. Trait-based approaches can inform recovery assessment.
Undermining Subsistence: Barren-Ground Caribou in a “Tragedy of Open Access”
Resource
The paper describes a “tragedy of open access” occurring in Canada’s north as governments open up new areas of sensitive barren-ground caribou habitat to mineral resource development. A growing body of science and traditional knowledge research points to the adverse impacts of resource development; however, management efforts have been almost exclusively focused on controlling the subsistence harvest of northern Indigenous peoples.
Use of Anthropogenic Linear Features by Alternative Predators in Woodland Caribou Range
Resource
In this study, we examined seasonal coyote and black bear use of industrial linear features and rivers and streams (i.e. natural linear features). We used two methods to assess movement behavior...
Use of Space by Caribou in Northern Canada
Resource
Understanding how populations are structured and how they use natural and anthropogenic spaces is essential for effective wildlife management. A total of 510 barren-ground ( Rangifer tarandus...
Use of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles for Monitoring Recovery of Forest Vegetation on Petroleum Well Sites
Resource
Good statistical agreement between key structural vegetation parameters, such as mean and maximum vegetation height, with PPC metrics successfully predicting most height and tree-diameter metrics.
Using GIS and Remote Sensing to Monitor Industrial Impacts to Archaeological Sites in the Athabasca Oil Sands of Alberta
Resource
The Athabasca Oil Sands (AOS) region of Alberta has one of the densest accumulations of known archaeological sites, and possibly the most archaeological sites at risk, in the country. Expanding...
Utilizing a Topographic Moisture Index to Characterize Understory Vegetation Patterns in the Boreal Forest
Resource
For the purpose of informing biodiversity conservation efforts in managed landscapes, we explored whether and how understory plant communities (abundance, diversity, composition) were related to a...
