Length of Cold Stratification Period Affects Germination in Green alder (Alnus viridis (Chaix) DC. subsp. crispa (Aiton) Turrill) Seed Collected from Northwestern Alberta
Resource
Abstract: Alnus viridis (Chaix) DC. subsp. crispa (Aiton) Turrill (Betulaceae), commonly known as green alder or mountain alder, is a boreal shrub used to revegetate disturbed lands because of its...
Limited Impacts of Extensive Human Land Use on Dominance, Specialization, and Biotic Homogenization in Boreal Plant Communities
Resource
Rank species occupancy curves revealed high species dominance regardless of disturbance: within any disturbance class a few species occupied nearly every site and most species were found in a low...
Linear Feature Restoration in Boreal Wetlands
Resource
This presentation discusses linear feature disturbances or boreal peatlands and reclamation trials of various sites. Presented at the NAIT 7th Seminar on Linear Disturbance Impacts on Boreal Wetland...

Low-impact Line Construction Retains and Speeds Recovery of Trees on Seismic Lines in Forested Peatlands
Resource
Abstract Seismic lines are linear features created by the oil and gas industry for energy exploration. Though individually narrow, collectively seismic lines are a pervasive management challenge...
Low-impact Line Construction Retains and Speeds Recovery of Trees on Seismic Lines in Forested Peatlands
Resource
Seismic lines, linear features originating from the oil and gas industry for energy exploration, pose a substantial management challenge due to their collective impact on biogeochemical cycles, plant...
Making Sites Rough and Loose: A Soil Adjustment Technique
Resource
Rough and loose surface treatments provide an effective way to control erosion and create conditions that promote the revegetation of the site. By creating topographic heterogeneity the rough and...
Managing Wolves (Canis Lupus) to Recover Threatened Woodland Caribou (Rangifer Tarandus Caribou) in Alberta
Resource
Across Canada, woodland caribou ( Rangifer tarandus caribou (Gmelin, 1788)) populations are declining because of human-induced changes to food webs that are resulting in apparent competition-induced...
Managing Woody Materials on Industrial Sites: Meeting Economic, Ecological and Forest Health Goals
Resource
Leaving woody material on reclaimed sites introduces microsites and variability which serve as critical habitat for a range of native plant species, seedlings, and microorganisms for forest regen
Map Gallery: Climate Change Impact Projections for Boreal Songbirds
Resource
Bioclimatic niche models of current avian distribution and density for 80 boreal-breeding songbird species are mapped based on present counts and climate change models
Mapping Degrading Dendritic Peat Plateaus, NWT, Canada
Resource
In the discontinuous permafrost zone, thermokarst lakes and thermal erosion are widespread and common permafrost thaw-related phenomena. Thermokarst features are indicative of thaw sensitive...
Metrics for Assessing Fisheries Productivity and Offsetting Strategies under Canada’s New Fisheries Act
Resource
Best predictors for fisheries productivity remain the quantity and quality of available fish habitat combined with abundance, size structure data and species composition within the given habitats
