Gains and Losses of Plant Species and Phylogenetic Diversity for a Northern High-latitude Region
Resource
We found that 368 species (24%) may lose on average > 80% of their current suitable climates (habitats), while 539 species (35%) were projected to more than double their current suitable range
Geomechanical Investigation of Post Reclamation Subsidence of Prairie Strip Mine Spoil
Resource
The post-reclamation subsidence of cast-back overburden is of interest to mining companies and regulatory agencies. Although subsidence may be of lesser concern than the prevention of soil degradation...
Global Declines of Caribou and Reindeer
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...
Global Peatlands Assessment: The State of the World’s Peatlands
Resource
Peatlands are unique and rare ecosystems that, despite only covering around 3-4% of the planet’s land surface, they contain up to one-third of the world’s soil carbon, which is twice the amount of...
Groundwater Monitoring Near Oil Sands Development: Insights From Regional Water Quality Datasets in the Alberta Oil Sands Region (AOSR)
Resource
Groundwater quality data for the AOSR are compiled and interpreted to provide information on regional water quality to inform groundwater monitoring and land use planning. A database of 546 water...
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 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...
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.
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
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...
