The Ontario government recently committed $29 million over four years to support boreal caribou habitat restoration, protection, and monitoring. The funding is intended to complement the recently...
Permafrost Thaw Causes Large Carbon Loss in Boreal Peatlands While Changes to Peat Quality are Limited
Resource
Rapid, ongoing permafrost thaw of peatlands in the discontinuous permafrost zone is exposing a globally significant store of soil carbon (C) to microbial processes. Mineralization and release of this...
Proposal for a Conservation Agreement under s.11 of the Species at Risk Act: Woodland Caribou (Boreal population)
News
Organization
A proposal for a bilateral conservation agreement between Ontario and Canada to support boreal caribou protection and recovery under section 11 of the federal Species at Risk Act is now available for...
Province of Ontario launches new program to protect caribou

Organization
The Ontario government is investing up to $20 million into a new Caribou Conservation Stewardship Program, aimed at supporting projects working towards maintenance and recovery of caribou populations...
Range Management Policy in Support of Woodland Caribou Conservation and Recovery
Resource
The Range Management Policy provides a transparent and evidence-based approach to planning and decision-making in caribou habitat that maintains or improves the condition of caribou ranges in Ontario...
Recent Climate Change has Driven Divergent Hydrological Shifts in High-latitude Peatlands
Resource
High-latitude peatlands are changing rapidly in response to climate change, including permafrost thaw. Here, we reconstruct hydrological conditions since the seventeenth century using testate amoeba...
Roads, Logging, and the Large-Mammal Community of an Eastern Canadian Boreal Forest

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...
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...
Science and Indigenous Knowledge to Predict Changes in Caribou Habitat

Organization:
To provide essential knowledge for improving woodland caribou recovery plans, the Canadian Forest Service initiated an integrative research project in collaboration with the Pessamit Innu community...
Selection for Forage and Avoidance of Risk by Woodland Caribou (Rangifer tarandus caribou) at Coarse and Local Scales
Resource
The relationship between selection at coarse and fine spatiotemporal spatial scales is still poorly understood. Some authors claim that, to accommodate different needs at different scales, individuals...
Significant Wildlife Habitat: Technical Guide
Resource
This technical guide is intended for use in the municipal policy and development process under the Planning Act.
Space-use Behaviour of Woodland Caribou Based on a Cognitive Movement Model
Resource
Movement patterns offer a rich source of information on animal behaviour and the ecological significance of landscape attributes. This is especially useful for species occupying remote landscapes...
Spring Diet of American Black Bears (Ursus americanus) in a Moose (Alces alces) – Woodland Caribou (Rangifer tarandus caribou) System in Northern Ontario, Canada
Resource
American black bears can be predators of ungulates, especially neonates. In this study in northern Ontario, there was no evidence of caribou consumption.
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...
The Essential Carbon Service Provided by Northern Peatlands
Resource
Northern peatlands have cooled the global climate by accumulating large quantities of soil carbon (C) over thousands of years. Maintaining the C sink function of these peatlands and their immense long...
