Leveraging AI to Estimate Caribou Lichen in UAV Orthomosaics from Ground Photo Datasets
Resource
Study shows that AI models trained on ground photographs effectively classify lichen in UAV orthomosaics.
Lowering the Rate of Timber Harvesting to Mitigate Impacts of Climate Change on Boreal Caribou Habitat Quality in Eastern Canada
Resource
This study evaluates how climate change will affect boreal caribou habitat over the 2030–2100 horizon and in a 9.94 Mha study area, using a climate-sensitive simulation ensemble that integrates...
Maintaining Animal Assemblages Through Single-species Management: The Case of Threatened Caribou in Boreal Forest
Resource
With the intensification of human activities, preserving animal populations is a contemporary challenge of critical importance. In this context, the umbrella species concept is appealing because...
Meeting Caribou in the Alpine: Do Moose Compete with Caribou for Food?
Resource
The Atlantic-Gaspesie caribou ( Rangifer tarandus caribou) is an endangered, isolated population that has been declining for decades in response to intensive logging. Timber harvesting has led to a...
Plant Functional Trait Approach to Assess the Persistence of Seismic Line Footprint in Boreal Peatlands of Alberta, Canada
Resource
Understanding the mechanisms that control ecosystem functioning based on taxonomic and functional community composition observed on seismic lines can inform restoration and mitigation measures
Potential Impacts of Climate Change on the Habitat of Boreal Woodland Caribou
Resource
Boreal woodland caribou ( Rangifer tarandus caribou) are currently listed as threatened in Canada, with populations in the province of Alberta expected to decline as much as 50 percent over the next 8...
Prioritizing Restoration of Fragmented Landscapes for Wildlife Conservation: A Graph-theoretic Approach
Resource
Exploration for belowground oil and gas deposits in boreal forests of western Canada involves the creation of seismic lines, which are linear disturbances where seismic equipment operates. Seismic...
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...
Report on the Progress of Recovery Strategy Implementation for the Woodland Caribou (Rangifer tarandus caribou), Boreal Population, in Canada for the Period 2012-2017
Resource
This Progress Report was prepared by Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC), where the purpose of this Progress Report is to fulfill a legal obligation by providing Canadians with a summary of...
Restoration of Linear Disturbances From Oil-and-gas Exploration in Boreal Landscapes: How can Network Models Help?
Resource
Abstract In western Canada, decades of oil-and-gas exploration have fragmented boreal landscapes with a dense network of linear forest disturbances (seismic lines). These seismic lines are implicated...
