Salinity Tolerance of Three Salix Species: Survival, Biomass Yield and Allocation, and Biochemical Efficiencies
Resource
Salinity tolerance is an important adaptive trait for land reclamation, particularly after petroleum extraction from the Athabasca oil sands “gigaproject” in western Canada. We compared survival...
Sampling Techniques to Detect Canopy Infestations of the Hemlock Woolly Adelgid
Resource
Hemlock woolly adelgid ( Adelges tsugae Annand) has recently invaded Canada and is threatening the survival of eastern hemlock. An important part of the management of the hemlock woolly adelgid is...
Satellite-detected Decreases in Caribou Lichen Cover, Cladonia (Cladina) spp., Over Eastern Canada During the Last Three Decades
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...
Save Our Species: A Blueprint for Restoring Butternut (Juglans cinerea) across Eastern North America
Resource
Butternut is a relatively uncommon hardwood tree native to eastern North America. The species’ abundance has declined over the past 50 years, primarily because of an invasive pathogen ( Ophiognomonia...
Science-based Responsible Resource Development: Lessons Learned From Two Canadian Success Stories
Resource
Most of Canada’s natural resource development (i.e., forestry, oil and gas, and mining activities) occurs in the boreal forest. These industrial activities lead to extensive land disturbances that...
Science-informed Policy Decisions Lead to the Creation of a Protected Area for a Wide-ranging Species at Risk
Resource
Protected areas are needed to conserve nature and biodiversity worldwide. The province of Québec (Canada) recently established a large wilderness area affording significant habitat protection for...
Seed Collection Guide for Six Boreal Plants Important to Indigenous Peoples
Resource
This publication is intended to be a source for plant identification and seed collection and is available to all who wish to use it. We aimed to make the information in this guide illustrative for...
Seed Shelters Improve Black Spruce Establishment and Survival on Upland Cutovers
Resource
This note presents fifth-year stocking, density, and height growth results for three lowland and three upland seed spot experiments that compare untreated/unsheltered black spruce seed spots with...
Seedwhere: A Computer Tool for Tree Planting and Ecological Restoration
Resource
It is generally recognized that plants are genetically adapted to the prevailing climate. Planting stock is often moved across environmental gradients with little knowledge of the ecological risks...
Seismic Line Edge Effects on Plants, Lichens and Their Environmental Conditions in Boreal Peatlands of Northwest Alberta (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...
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...
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...
Setting a Foundation for Indigenous Knowledge Systems-guided Boreal Caribou (tǫdzı) Conservation Planning in the Western Boreal Region of Canada: A Systematic Map Protocol
Resource
Abstract In recent years, researchers have increasingly recognized the need to bridge Western and Indigenous knowledge systems to strengthen research in wildlife conservation. Historically, this arena...
Short- and Long-term Wildfire Threat When Adapting Infrastructure for Wildlife Conservation in the Boreal Forest
Resource
Infrastructure built in fire-prone wildland areas often has a high potential of being impacted by wildfire. Managers designing infrastructure in these areas, therefore, require assessments of wildfire...
Short Rotation Woody Crop
Resource
Providing the knowledge needed to mitigate climate change effects and improve forest management, this long-term research by the CWFC could expand the circular bio-economy through high-yield crops that...
Short-Interval Wildfire and Drought Overwhelm Boreal Forest Resilience
Resource
The size and frequency of large wildfires in western North America have increased in recent years, a trend climate change is likely to exacerbate. Due to fuel limitations, recently burned forests...
Short-term Effects of Wildfire in Boreal Peatlands: Does Fire Mitigate the Linear Footprint of Oil and Gas Exploration?
Resource
