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...
Permafrost Thaw Causes Large Carbon Loss in Boreal Peatlands While Changes to Peat Quality are Limited
Resource
Rapid, ongoing permafrost thaw of peatlands in the discontinuous permafrost zone is exposing a globally significant store of soil carbon (C) to microbial processes. Mineralization and release of this...
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
Prioritization can Improve Cost Effectiveness of Seismic Line Restoration
Resource
Upland mesic sites showed a relatively strong ability to regenerate on their own (passive restoration), while lowland (bogs and fens) and upland dry sites were slow to recover.
Provisioning Time and Central-place Foraging in Beavers
Resource
This study tested the effect of provisioning time by providing beavers in experimental enclosures with equal frequencies of saplings at various distances from the lodge and we compared the patterns of...
Rat Root Plants May Not be Suitable for Reclaiming Oil Sands Tailing Ponds
Resource
This study tested the ability of rat root to grow in a high pH/high salinity environment, similar to that of a constructed oil sands tailings pond wetland.
Reconstructed Soils in Alberta Oil Sands Limit Fine Root Growth of Trees
Resource
Tailings sand sites: fine root biomass decreased with depth and proximity to the textural interface. Overburden sites: fine root biomass decreased abruptly at the textural interface and EC increased
Restoration and Reclamation Virtual Tours and Silviculture Toolkit
Resource
The Forest Restoration Virtual Tours and Silviculture Toolkit provides resources to support successful forest restoration practices on oil sands sites. This site was first developed by Canada’s Oil...
Review of Alberta's Integrated Land Management Policies, Practices and Legislation
Project
Organization:
This initiative evaluated several cases of the latest efforts in resource and land policy integration, combined with a literature review, and interviews with 32 subject matter experts (SME’s) from...
Seismic Lines in the Boreal and Arctic Ecosystems of North America: Environmental Impacts, Challenges, and Opportunities
Resource
The oil and gas industry has grown significantly throughout the boreal and arctic ecosystems of North America. A major feature of the ecological footprint of oil and gas exploration is seismic lines...
Selection for Forage and Avoidance of Risk by Woodland Caribou (Rangifer tarandus caribou) at Coarse and Local Scales
Resource
The relationship between selection at coarse and fine spatiotemporal spatial scales is still poorly understood. Some authors claim that, to accommodate different needs at different scales, individuals...
Semi-aquatic Mammals: Annotated Bibliography
Resource
Annotated bibliography contains 776 entries grouped under the species: muskrat, beaver, mink, and otter
Soil Salvage Depth is Key to Aspen Root Fragment Survival and Sucker Regeneration in Forest Reclamation
Resource
Aspen sucker production from root fragments was 3X higher at salvage/placement depth of 40 cm compared to 15 cm. Successful suckering occurred in root fragments with little damage in upper 20 cm soil
Space-use Behaviour of Woodland Caribou Based on a Cognitive Movement Model
Resource
Movement patterns offer a rich source of information on animal behaviour and the ecological significance of landscape attributes. This is especially useful for species occupying remote landscapes...
Temporary Drilling Pads From Oil Sands Exploration Require Microtopography for Restoration
Resource
Differences in microtopography were associated with differences in plant species richness and composition between OSE pads and the undisturbed sites.
