Short-Term Dynamics of Beaver Dam Flow States
Resource
Beavers ( Castor canadensis and C. fiber) build dams that modify catchment and pond water balances, and it has been suggested that they can be a nature-based solution for reducing flood hydrographs...
The Effect of Cover Crop Species on Growth and Yield Response of Tree Seedlings to Fertiliser and Soil Moisture on Reclaimed Sites
Resource
Comparatively the suppressive effect of barley was higher than that of oats probably due to a combination of vigorous growth and possible allelopathic effects.

Undermining Subsistence: Barren-Ground Caribou in a “Tragedy of Open Access”
Resource
The paper describes a “tragedy of open access” occurring in Canada’s north as governments open up new areas of sensitive barren-ground caribou habitat to mineral resource development. A growing body of science and traditional knowledge research points to the adverse impacts of resource development; however, management efforts have been almost exclusively focused on controlling the subsistence harvest of northern Indigenous peoples.
