Assessing Spatial Factors Affecting Predation Risk to Boreal Caribou Calves: Implications for Management
Resource
In 2013, we completed the last year of data collection for the project. Across the project’s three years, we collected GPS data from 57 female caribou, 19 wolves (Canis lupus) and 19 black bears...
Assessing the Climate Suitability and Potential Economic Impacts of Oak Wilt in Canada
Resource
Oak wilt is a disease that kills oak trees and is caused by a fungus named Bretziella fagacearum. Though not currently found in Canada, our distribution models indicate that suitable climate...
Assessing the Health-fitness Dynamics of Endangered Mountain Caribou and the Influence of Maternal Penning
Resource
Abstract The health of wildlife plays a crucial role in population demography by connecting habitat and physiology. Southern mountain caribou, a population of woodland caribou ( Rangifer tarandus...
Assessing the Impact of Fine-Scale Structure on Predicting Wood Fibre Attributes of Boreal Conifer Trees and Forest Plots
Resource
Information about wood fibre attributes (WFA) is important for optimizing forest resource management and increasing the competitiveness of the sector. Many factors influence WFA at both the plot (e.g...
Assessing the Influence of Climate on the Growth Rate of Boreal Tree Species in Northeastern Canada Through Long Term Permanent Sample Plot Datasets
Resource
Climate has a considerable influence on tree growth. Forest managers benefit from the empirical study of the historic relationship between climatic variables and tree growth to support forest...
Assessing the Long-term Economic Interactions between Industrial Forestry Activities, Non-renewable Resource Extraction and Caribou Recovery
Resource
There is an existing gap in knowledge on the economic impacts of caribou recovery measures on forestry activities and non-renewable resource extraction. To address this knowledge gap, this project...
Assessing the Long-term Ecosystem Productivity Benefits and Potential Impacts of Forests Re-established on a Mine Tailings Site
Resource
It can be really hard to get plants and trees to grow on former mine sites, especially if the soil is contaminated by the mining waste material, which is called tailings. In an area of mine tailings...
Assessment of Potential for Remote Sensing Detection of Bark Beetle-Infested Areas During Green Attack: A Literature Review
Resource
Changes observed in the foliage of trees killed by bark beetles are usually described in terms of stages that have been related to a specific timeframe. The “green attack” stage is the period of time...
Assisted Dispersal and Retention of Lichen-dominated Biocrust Material for Arctic Restoration
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...
Audio Data Compression Affects Acoustic Indices and Reduces Detections of Birds by Human Listening and Automated Recognisers
Resource
Increasing popularity in passive acoustic monitoring and the ease with which researchers can accumulate large quantities of acoustic data has resulted in challenges for audio recording storage...
Automated Characterization of Forest Canopy Vertical Layering for Predicting Forest Inventory Attributes by Layer Using Airborne LiDAR Data
Resource
Forest canopy vertical layering influences stand development and yield and is critical information for forest management planning and wood supply analysis. It is also relevant for other applications...
Automated Classification of Avian Vocal Activity Using Acoustic Indices in Regional and Heterogeneous Datasets
Resource
Acoustic indices combined with clustering and classification approaches have been increasingly used to automate identification of the presence of vocalizing taxa or acoustic events of interest. While...
Avian Response to Wildfire Severity in a Northern Boreal Region
Resource
Research Highlights: The effects of fire on birds in the most northern parts of the boreal forest are understudied. We found distinct differences in bird communities with increasing fire severity in...
Balancing Large-scale Wildlife Protection and Forest Management Goals with a Game-theoretic Approach
Resource
When adopted, wildlife protection policies in Canadian forests typically cover large areas and affect multiple economic agents working in these landscapes. Such measures are likely to increase the...
Balsam Fir-Yellow Birch Forest Succession in the Lower St. Lawrence Region
Resource
In Quebec, the bioclimatic zone of balsam fir-yellow birch covers an area of 94,768 km 2. Some of the forest cover types in the area, such as balsam fir-yellow birch, are among the most productive in...
Baseline Condition of Jack Pine Biomonitoring Plots in the Athabasca Oil Sands Area, 1976-1977
Resource
No measureable air pollutant effect was observed on either vascular or lichen communities at any site even though significantly high tissue pollutant concentrations were documented within 10km of GCOS
Beech Scale
Resource
Beech scale is an introduced insect that damages beech trees; this damage can lead to beech bark disease. The insect was introduced to North America in the late 1800’s and has spread throughout...
