Predicting Invasive Plant Response to Climate Change: Prioritization and Mapping of New Potential Threats to Alberta’s Biodiversity
Resource
Assessed 16 potentially new invasive plant species not yet present in Alberta for their invasiveness and climate change-related risk
Prioritizing Zones for Caribou Habitat Restoration in the Canada's Oil Sands Innovation Alliance Area V1.0
Resource
Boreal caribou populations are declining across Alberta and much of their Canadian range. Key factors causing this decline include a warming climate along with habitat change from industrial...
Prioritizing Zones for Caribou Habitat Restoration in the Canada's Oil Sands Innovation Alliance Area V2.0
Resource
Seismic lines and other linear features created by humans are thought to negatively impact woodland caribou. It is estimated that there are c. 100,000 km of conventional seismic lines in caribou...
Prioritizing Zones for Caribou Habitat Restoration in the Canada's Oil Sands Innovation Alliance Area V3.0
Resource
Linear features, including seismic lines, pipelines, transmission lines, roads, railways, and trails are pervasive in Alberta’s boreal forest and have been implicated as a primary factor leading to...
Prioritizing Zones for Caribou Habitat Restoration in the Canada's Oil Sands Innovation Alliance (COSIA) Area V4.0
Resource
Seismic lines and other linear features (roads, railways, trails, transmission lines, pipelines, etc.) are pervasive in Alberta’s boreal forest. It is estimated that there are approximately 100,000 km...
Projected Responses of Alberta Grassland Songbirds to Climate Change
Resource
Climate suitability projections, and current distribution of grassland and cropland habitats in Alberta suggest that some climate-mediated range expansion of grassland songbirds is possible
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...
Recommendations for an Amphibian Monitoring Pilot Study in the Lower Athabasca Region of Alberta
Resource
This report provides recommendations for an amphibian monitoring pilot study in the Lower Athabasca Planning Region.
Recommendations Knowledge Requirements - An Integrated Wetland Monitoring Program for Alberta's Oil Sands Region
Resource
Final recommendations to the development of a wetland monitoring program for the Oil Sands region of Alberta.
Remote Camera Survey Guidelines and Metadata Standards for Western Alberta
Resource
This current resource webpage (deployed by GitHub) provides links to the online version of both the Remote Camera Survey Guidelines: Guidelines for Western Canada (RCSC et al., 2023) and Remote Camera...
Reserve Design under Climate Change: From Land Facets Back to Ecosystem Representation
Resource
Our climate envelope projections for the 2080s indicate that virtually all reserves will, in time, be comprised of different ecosystem types than today.

Routes to Response: A Conceptual Framework to Detect the Effect of Oil Sands Industrial Activity on the Land
Resource
The Oil Sands Monitoring Program is assessing the environmental impacts of oil sands development at different spatial scales. Monitoring in the Oil Sands Region operates under a consistent framework...
Rusty Blackbird (Euphagus carolinus ) Population and Distribution Data in the Athabasca and Cold Lake Oil Sands Regions of Alberta using Automated Recording Units (ARUs)
Resource
The Rusty Blackbird ( Euphagus carolinus ) was listed as Special Concern on Schedule 1 of the federal Species at Risk Act in March 2009 because of large and longterm declines in population size. The...
Saving Endangered Species Using Adaptive Management
Resource
Adaptive management is a powerful means of learning about complex ecosystems, but is rarely used for recovering endangered species. Here, we demonstrate how it can benefit woodland caribou, which...
Slowing Down Wolves to Protect Boreal Caribou Populations: A Spatial Simulation Model of Linear Feature Restoration
Resource
In Canada, boreal caribou ( Rangifer tarandus caribou) are declining in numbers, in part due to increased predation by wolves ( Canis lupus). One management option to reduce wolf–caribou interactions...
Spatial and Temporal Variation in Forest Transpiration Across a Forested Boreal Peatland Complex
Resource
Transpiration is a globally important component of evapotranspiration. Careful upscaling of transpiration from point measurements is thus crucial for quantifying water and energy fluxes. In spatially...
Status of Land Cover and Biodiversity in Norbord Inc.'s Operating Areas
Resource
This online report describes the status of human footprint, species, and habitat in Norbord Inc.'s two main operating areas located in northwestern Alberta. This information establishes baseline...
