Habitat Loss Accelerates for the Endangered Woodland Caribou in Western Canada
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...
Habitat Loss Accelerates for the Endangered Woodland Caribou in Western Canada
Resource
Habitat loss is often the ultimate cause of species endangerment and is also a leading factor inhibiting species recovery. For this reason, species-at-risk legislation, policies and plans typically...
Habitat Relationships and Management of Terrestrial Birds in Northeastern Alberta
Resource
Breeding bird studies using the mapping method were combined with intensive habitat quantification to determine the relative values to breeding avifauna of 21 habitat types
Habitat Selection and Spatial Relationships of Black Bears (Ursus americanus) with Woodland Caribou (Rangifer tarandus caribou) in Northeastern Alberta
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...
Habitat Selection at Different Scales for a Declining Aerial Insectivorous Bird as Determined by Autonomous Recording Technology
Resource
Conservation management is impeded by the lack of baseline data for many non-passerine, cryptic, or nocturnal species that are inadequately sampled by traditional monitoring programs. The recent rise...
Harvesting and Cleaning Aspen Seeds
Resource
Production of aspen plants can be done in two ways; from root cuttings or from seeds. The former method is used to produce plants of a specific clone; and is generally used when selecting for high...
Heavy Metal Dynamics in the Athabasca River: Sediment Concentrations Prior to Major Alberta Oil Sands Development
Resource
To document the natural heavy metal geochemistry of the sediment and to assess cultural influences if any on concentrations. Absolute concentrations are low compared to data for polluted sediments
Heavy Metals in Bottom Sediments of the Mainstem Athabasca River System in the AOSERP Study Area
Resource
Dredged sediments and sediment cores were collected from sites along the Athabasca River system from between Fort McMurray and the confluence of Riviere des Rochers with the Slave River
HERD: Inuit Voices on Caribou
Project
Contact
Organization:
As a research initiative, the HERD project has co-created knowledge with Inuit about their relationship with caribou in the context of the population declines and hunting ban. We conducted video...
Hitchhiker Planting: Mixed-species Container Stock Planting as a Novel Tool to Increase Plant Diversity on Industrially Disturbed Sites
Resource
Rapid establishment of closed canopy cover is a key goal in land reclamation. While re-establishment of understory vegetation is likely to positively contribute to this goal, native herbaceous species...
How Linear Features Alter Predator Movement and the Functional Response
Resource
In areas of oil and gas exploration, seismic lines have been reported to alter the movement patterns of wolves (Canis lupus). We developed a mechanistic first passage time model, based on an...
How Woodland Caribou use Post-fire Landscapes in Northeastern Alberta
Resource
To examine the effects of forest fires on woodland caribou, we collected GPS location data on five caribou ranges in northeastern Alberta.
Human System Alberta Oil Sands Environmental Research Program 1975-1980: An Integration and Synthesis of Research Results
Resource
Describe, ananlyse, and interpret the socio-economic changes which had occurred in Fort McMurray from development of Suncor and Syncrude operations and assess changes in relation to development stages
Hydrogeological Investigation of the Muskeg River Basin, Alberta
Resource
Streamflow in all basins influenced by the disturbance of muskeg. Where muskeg is removed and replaced by mineral soils, stream discharge will decrease during spring runoff and stormflow periods
Impact of Air Pollutant Mixtures on Forest Vegetation and Soils
Resource
No impact on jack pine physiology was found when concentrations of the dominant pollutants from Oil Sands operations equivalent to 104 years of soluble disposition were added to intact soil cores
Impacts of Climate and Catastrophic Forest Changes on Streamflow and Water Balance in a Mountainous Headwater Stream in Southern Alberta
Resource
Rivers in Southern Alberta are vulnerable to climate change because much of the river water originates as snow in the eastern slopes of the Rocky Mountains.
Improving Soil Tilth in Reclaimed Soils at the Highvale Mine
Resource
The Highvale mine, located 65 km west of Edmonton along the south side of Lake Wabamum, produces approximately 12 m1llion tons of coal per year as fuel for the Sundance and Keephills generating plants...
In Search of Evidence-based Management Targets: A Synthesis of the Effects of Linear Features on Woodland Caribou
Resource
Abstract Effective species management relies on evidence-based goals that address the processes influencing population demography. These goals therefore require understanding how stressors affect the...
Incorporating Mechanism into Conservation Actions in an Age of Multiple and Emerging Threats: The Case of Boreal Caribou
Resource
Conservation strategies for imperiled species are frequently based on identifying and addressing the probable causes of population decline, an approach known as the declining population paradigm...
