Effects of 2023 Wildfires in Alberta
Resource
Fires are a natural occurrence in Alberta’s forests. In boreal and montane forests, fires—along with other natural disturbances such as insect outbreaks and disease—create a mosaic of stands of...
Effects of Agriculture and Climate Change on Prairie Wetlands
Resource
The Alberta Biodiversity Monitoring Institute (ABMI), InnoTech Alberta, and Ducks Unlimited Canada have partnered on a four-year project to better understand linkages between wetland health and...
Effects of Natural Land Cover, Anthropogenic Disturbance, Space, and Climate on Oribatid Mite Communities in Canada’s Oil Sands Region
Resource
Soil contains a diverse fauna and microflora that are vital for maintaining healthy soils and their various ecosystem services. Oribatid mites are typically highly abundant arthropods in the soil and...
Evaluating the Impact of Caribou Habitat Restoration on Predator and Prey Movement
Resource
Fragmentation of the boreal forest by linear features, including seismic lines, has destabilized predator–prey dynamics, resulting in the decline of woodland caribou (Rangifer tarandus caribou)...
Evaluating the Mechanisms of Landscape Change on White‐Tailed Deer Populations
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...
Experimental Moose Reduction Lowers Wolf Density and Stops Decline of Endangered Caribou
Resource
Using an adaptive management experiment, we tested the hypothesis that reducing moose to historic levels would reduce apparent competition and therefor recover caribou populations.
Extreme Precipitation Reduces Reproductive Output of an Endangered Raptor
Resource
Frequency and intensity of extreme weather has increased against a backdrop of anthropogenic land change. Extreme rainfall during the breeding season reduced reproductive success of burrowing owls.
Ferruginous Hawk Climate Change Adaptation Plan for Alberta
Resource
The Alberta Ferruginous Hawk Recovery Plan 2009 – 2014 identifies climate change as a factor potentially threatening the recovery of the species in Alberta.
Forest Ecosystem Monitoring in Saskatchewan and Alberta: Identification of Aquatic Elements and Sampling Protocols
Resource
This chapter describes aquatic elements and sampling protocols that could be used to monitor forested stream ecosystems in Alberta and Saskatchewan
Gwich’in Traditional Knowledge: Woodland Caribou, Boreal Population
Resource
... conducted 20 interviews with holders of Gwich’in traditional knowledge and searched the digital archives of GSCI for relevant primary and secondary data to obtain TK about [woodland caribou].
Habitat Alteration or Climate: What Drives the Densities of an Invading Ungulate?
Resource
Anthropogenic habitat alteration and climate change are two well-known contributors to biodiversity loss through changes to species distribution and abundance; yet, disentangling the effects of these...
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 Selection and Population Trends of the Torngat Mountains Caribou Herd
Resource
We fitted collars on 35 adult caribou to assess seasonal habitat selection at 2 spatial scales, current and future population trends, and interactions with the neighboring migratory caribou herd.
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...
HydroGeoSim: A Water Purification Geosimulation Modelling Platform
Resource
The model documentation summarizes the data, variables and assumptions required to capture how water purification services are provided across landscapes in Alberta
Impacts of Land-use Management on Ecosystem Services and Biodiversity: An Agent-based Modelling Approach
Resource
This ecosystem service modelling system allows stakeholders to evaluate the opportunities and trade-offs to make informed decisions for achieving land-use planning goals.
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...
