Landscape Features and Caribou Harvesting During Three Decades in Newfoundland
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...
Land-use Planning Following Resource Extraction – Lessons from Grizzly Bears at Reclaimed and Active Open Pit Mines
Resource
Following closure, access management on designated trails will reduce risk of conflicts. Imposing access restrictions, preserving undisturbed habitat patches and restoring original vegetation
Large Stocks of Peatland Carbon and Nitrogen are Vulnerable to Permafrost Thaw
Resource
Northern peatlands have accumulated large stocks of organic carbon (C) and nitrogen (N), but their spatial distribution and vulnerability to climate warming remain uncertain. Here, we used machine...
Large-scale Probabilistic Identification of Boreal Peatlands Using Google Earth Engine, Open-access Satellite Data, and Machine Learning
Resource
The resulting peatland occurrence model shows an accuracy of 87% compared to our validation data set. Differentiating peatlands from mineral wetlands achieved an accuracy of 69%.
Łeghagots'enete ́, (Learning Together): The Importance of Indigenous Perspectives in the Identification of Biological Variation
Resource
Using multiple knowledge sources to interpret patterns of biodiversity can generate the comprehensive species characterizations that are required for effective conservation strategies. Caribou...
Leveraging Genomics Tools to Explore Relationships Between Agriculture, Biodiversity and Waterfowl Productivity in Prairie Wetlands
Resource
Environmental genomics is a research method that sequences DNA from samples collected from the environment (e.g. wetlands, water, soil, organisms, etc.). This method can accelerate species...
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...
Long Term Prediction of Vegetation Performance on Mined Sands
Resource
This project on the "Long Term Prediction of Vegetation Performance On Mined Sands" (V.E.6.1) was undertaken to provide management with answers on the predictive ability to maintain different kinds of...

Loss of Connectivity Among Island-dwelling Peary Caribou Following Sea Ice Decline
Resource
Global warming threatens to reduce population connectivity for terrestrial wildlife through significant and rapid changes to sea ice. Using genetic fingerprinting, we contrasted extant connectivity in...
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...
