Governance as a Driver of Change in the Canadian Boreal Zone
Resource
The Canadian boreal forest is primarily public land, owned and managed by provincial governments on behalf of the public interest. Boreal forest governance consists of a complex patchwork of federal...
Greenhouse Propagation of Endemic North American Reed Grass
Resource
Reed grass (Phragmites australis) is a 1.5 to 5 m tall perennial grass commonly found in riparian areas and along the edges of wetlands. The species establishes quickly over disturbed landscapes and...
Grey Wolves (Canis lupus) Shift Selection of Anthropogenic Landscape Features Following Predator Control in the Nearctic Boreal Forest
Resource
Conserving endangered species sometimes involves killing their predators. In the case of Nearctic wolves (Canis lupus), rarely are lethal control measures examined for ancillary effects on predator...
Guide to Variance Justifications for Reclamation Certification of Wellsites and Associated Facilities: Stakeholder Review and Field Verification
Resource
Practitioners tested the Guide to Variance Justifications on four of those sites; three had been previously approved and one had been submitted and was pending a decision.
Habitat Alteration or Climate: What Drives the Densities of an Invading Ungulate?
Resource
Anthropogenic habitat alteration and climate change are two well-known contributors to biodiversity loss through changes to species distribution and abundance; yet, disentangling the effects of these...
Handling of Poplar and Willow Cuttings - Part 1
Resource
Poplars and willows are woody species that can be propagated by stem cuttings, and grow across a wide range of site and environmental conditions. Both poplars and willows are early successional...
Handling of Poplar and Willow Cuttings - Part 2
Resource
Technical Note #26: Poplars and willows are woody species that can be propagated by stem cuttings, and grow across a wide range of site and environmental conditions. Both poplars and willows are early...
Harvest and Transfer of Donor Material for Peatland Re-vegetation
Resource
Peatland vegetative covers are typically dominated by Bryophytes, and as such vegetative transfer techniques that successfully re-establish the Bryophyte communities play a critical role in the...
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...
Harvesting and Cleaning Fleshy Shrub Seed for Reclamation
Resource
Alberta’s forest land reclamation criteria require the establishment of multi-strata vegetation that includes a shrub layer. Establishment of a shrub layer requires the acquisition of seed from a...
Healing the Land by Reclaiming an Indigenous Ecology : A Journey Exploring the Application of the Indigenous Worldview to Invasion Biology and Ecology
Resource
Using western science as the only worldview when examining complex topics of applied science limits inquiry and understanding. The Indigenous worldview offers an opportunity to renew the way research...
Hitchhiker Planting in Reclamation: Protocols for Developing Nursery Stock of Woody and Herbaceous Species
Resource
The 2010 reclamation criteria for forested lands requires the establishment of both native woody and herbaceous species, while controlling undesirable and noxious weed species, to reclaim industrially...
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...

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...
Increasing Contributions of Peatlands to Boreal Evapotranspiration in a Warming Climate
Resource
The response of evapotranspiration (ET) to warming is of critical importance to the water and carbon cycle of the boreal biome, a mosaic of land cover types dominated by forests and peatlands. The...
