Saving Endangered Species Using Adaptive Management
Resource
Adaptive management is a powerful means of learning about complex ecosystems, but is rarely used for recovering endangered species. Here, we demonstrate how it can benefit woodland caribou, which...
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...

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 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...
Short-term Effects of Wildfire in Boreal Peatlands: Does Fire Mitigate the Linear Footprint of Oil and Gas Exploration?
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...
Size and Optical Properties of Dissolved Organic Matter in Large Boreal Rivers During Mixing: Implications for Carbon Transport and Source Discrimination
Resource
The functionality of dissolved organic matter (DOM) in natural waters largely depends upon its size and composition. Identifying the sources, associated properties and transport behavior of DOM is...
Slowing Down Wolves to Protect Boreal Caribou Populations: A Spatial Simulation Model of Linear Feature Restoration
Resource
In Canada, boreal caribou ( Rangifer tarandus caribou) are declining in numbers, in part due to increased predation by wolves ( Canis lupus). One management option to reduce wolf–caribou interactions...
Social-ecological Reclamation in the Northwest Territories: A Framework for Healing Human-caribou Relations
Project

Organization:
The impacts of mining activity on human-caribou relationships in the Northwest Territories have been a focus of study in both the natural and social sciences for decades. Guided by Łutsel K’e Dene...
Social-ecological Reclamation in the Northwest Territories: A Framework for Healing Human-caribou Relations

Abstract The impacts of mining activity on human-caribou relationships in the Northwest Territories have been a focus of study in both the natural and social sciences for decades. Guided by Łutsel K’e...
Soil Physical Properties in Reclamation
Resource
To provide coordinated direction for reclamation research in Alberta, the need to review the current understanding and the role of soil physical properties in soil disturbance related activities was...
Soil Quality Assessment in Land Reclamation
Resource
The development and application of quantitative soil quality assessment (SQA) concepts involve calibrating soil quality indicators (SQI), such as soil organic carbon (SOC), to soil management goals...
Soil Research Related to Revegetation of the Oil Sands Area Sub-Project VE4
Resource
Physical properties of soils and mined materials in relation to reclamation; Chemical properties of soils and methods of improving mined material for plant growth; Sulphur deposition and acidification
Soil Salvage Depth is Key to Aspen Root Fragment Survival and Sucker Regeneration in Forest Reclamation
Resource
Aspen sucker production from root fragments was 3X higher at salvage/placement depth of 40 cm compared to 15 cm. Successful suckering occurred in root fragments with little damage in upper 20 cm soil
Soluble Calcium and Sulphate Excesses Related to Stress in Pinus contorta on Peat Amendments of Reclaimed Landscapes in the Boreal Oil Sands Region
Resource
Results indicated a negative relationship among pine performance with increasing soluble calcium and available sulphate-S
Spatial Differences in Genetic Diversity and Northward Migration Suggest Genetic Erosion Along the Boreal Caribou Southern Range Limit and Continued Range Retraction
Resource
Study assesses changes in genetic diversity and connectivity in areas of high and low anthropogenic activity, across threatened boreal caribou populations in Ontario and Manitoba.
Spatial Familial Networks to Infer Demographic Structure of Wild Populations
Resource
Abstract In social species, reproductive success and rates of dispersal vary among individuals resulting in spatially structured populations. Network analyses of familial relationships may provide...
