Appendix 3 ALCES III® Scenario Modeling Report - Athabasca Landscape Area
Resource
In order to evaluate management options that may recover and sustain boreal caribou in the Athabasca Landscape area, the ALT developed scenarios and used simulation modeling to compare and evaluate...
Conceptual Models as Tools for Communication Across Disciplines
Resource
This paper suggests that researchers can improve interdisciplinary science through the use of conceptual models as a communication tool. The authors share lessons from a workshop in which...
Delaying Conservation Actions Matters for Species Vulnerable to Climate Change
Resource
Abstract Climate change vulnerability assessments are commonly used to identify species or populations at risk from global climate change, but few translate impact assessments to climate change...
Modeled Production, Oxidation, and Transport Processes of Wetland Methane Emissions in Temperate, Boreal, and Arctic Regions
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...
Modeling Cumulative Effects of Climate and Development on Moose, Wolf, and Caribou Populations
Resource
This article explores the results of an integrated landscape and population simulation model which accounts for key ecological components and relationships among moose, grey wolves, and woodland...
Revealing the Hidden Carbon in Forested Wetland Soils
Resource
Inland wetlands are critical carbon reservoirs storing 30% of global soil organic carbon (SOC) within 6% of the land surface. However, forested regions contain SOC-rich wetlands that are not included...
Satellite Determination of Peatland Water Table Temporal Dynamics by Localizing Representative Pixels of A SWIR-Based Moisture Index
Resource
The OPtical TRApezoid Model (OPTRAM) is a physically-based approach for remote soil moisture estimation. OPTRAM is based on the response of short-wave infrared (SWIR) reflectance to vegetation water...
The Biophysical Climate Mitigation Potential of Boreal Peatlands During the Growing Season
Resource
Peatlands and forests cover large areas of the boreal biome and are critical for global climate regulation. They also regulate regional climate through heat and water vapour exchange with the...
Using Perceptions as Evidence to Improve Conservation and Environmental Management
Resource
The conservation community is increasingly focusing on the monitoring and evaluation of management, governance, ecological, and social considerations as part of a broader move toward adaptive...
Video - Sustainability Approaches to Land Use Planning - Adoption of Triple Bottom Line Indicators
Resource
Dr. Brad Stelfox, from ALCES, did a presentation for the Town of Okotoks about Sustainability Approaches to Land Use Planning - Adoption of Triple Bottom Line Indicators. The presentation focussed on...
