Does Connectivity Exist for Remnant Boreal Caribou (Rangifer tarandus caribou) Along the Lake Superior Coastal Range? Options for Landscape Restoration
Resource
Study of whether animal movement can be discerned, using genetic population and relatedness analyses, within and beyond the Lake Superior Coastal Range.
Does Dust from Arctic Mines Affect Caribou Forage?
Resource
A 2017 paper assessing the impacts of dust from a mining haul road in the NWT on vegetation used by caribou. The paper concluded that dust from the road negatively affected the vegetation within a...
Does Wood Mulch Trigger Microbially Mediated Positive Plant-Soil Feedback in Degraded Boreal Forest Sites? A Post Hoc Study
Resource
Introduction: Reforestation of degraded lands in the boreal forest is challenging and depends on the direction and strength of the plant-soil feedback (PSF). Methods: Using a gradient in tree...
Drivers and Impacts of the Record-Breaking 2023 Fire Season
Resource
A video outlining the major drivers and impacts of the record-breaking 2023 wildfire season in Canada. A PDF of the PowerPoint can be found here.
Early Successional Plant Community Dynamics on a Reclaimed Oil Sands Mine in Comparison With Natural Boreal Forest Communities
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...
Earth Observation for Improved Regulatory Decision Making in Alberta – Workshop Report
Resource
NRCan pilot science projects have proven that Earth Observation can provide relevant and valuable information to inform and enhance monitoring and support regulatory frameworks
Eastern Canadian Temperate Deciduous Forest
Resource
The Canadian National Vegetation Classification (CNVC) is an ecological classification of natural and semi-natural Canadian vegetation. The classification is a hierarchical taxonomy, describing...
Eastern North American Temperate Hardwood – Conifer Forest
Resource
The Canadian National Vegetation Classification (CNVC) is an ecological classification of natural and semi-natural Canadian vegetation. The classification is a hierarchical taxonomy, describing...
Ecological Bench-marking and Biomonitoring for Detection of Airborne Pollutant Effects on Vegetation and Soils
Resource
There was only very limited evidence of biological responses to increased pollutant content in spite of significantly higher pollutant levels in tissues close to existing industrial developments.
Ecological Issues Related to Second-growth Boreal Forest Management in Eastern Quebec, Canada: Expert Perspectives from a Delphi Process
Resource
The Eastern boreal forests of Quebec, Canada, have been extensively harvested over the past decades. Second growth stands originating from sites harvested between 1920 and 1950 will soon reach the...
Ecologically-based Criteria to Assess the Impact and Recovery of Seismic Lines: The Importance of Width, Regeneration, and Seismic Density
Resource
We conducted a series of surveys to evaluate wildlife responses to different types of seismic lines in bogs, conifer‐dominated, mixedwood and deciduous forests in the western boreal forest. Research...
Economic Impacts of Short Rotation Woody Crops in Canada
Resource
Canada is seeking cost-effective means to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions, particularly CO2. One of the promising means is the short rotation woody crops (SRWC) plantation, a silvicultural approach...
Ecosystem Management in Paludified Boreal Forests: Enhancing Wood Production, Biodiversity, and Carbon Sequestration at the Landscape Level
Resource
Canada’s boreal forest represents an important contributor of the world’s wood supply industry. However, maintaining or increasing productivity of the boreal forest may be challenging in areas...
Edge Effects of Conventional Seismic Lines in Northern Alberta Peatlands
Resource
Research poster presented at the NAIT 7th Seminar on Linear Disturbance Impacts on Boreal Wetland Ecosystems.
Edge Influence of Low-impact Seismic Lines for Oil Exploration on Upland Forest Vegetation in Northern Alberta (Canada).
Resource
Low-impact seismic (LIS) techniques were developed to reduce the environmental footprint of oil exploration. Though relatively narrow (~2–3 m) and constructed with light-weight equipment, these lines...
Effect of Seed Production and Soil Scarification on the Natural Regeneration of a Second-Growth Fir Stand in the Lower St. Lawrence Region
Resource
This study examines the relationship between seed production, soil scarification and seedling establishment in balsam fir ( Abies balsamea [L.] Mill.) and white spruce ( Picea glauca [Moench] Voss)...
