Methane Cycling in Horticultural Extracted, Restored, and Unrestored Peatlands in Central Alberta
Resource
Horticulture peat extraction drastically changes peatland ecosystems and their carbon and greenhouse gas balance. Comprehensive study on the combined response of methane (CH4) cycling (i.e., CH4...
Methane Cycling Microbial Community Characteristics: Comparing Natural, Actively Extracted, Restored and Unrestored Boreal Peatlands
Resource
The microbial community in peat is responsible for organic matter degradation and greenhouse gas emissions, yet its response to peat extraction and peatland restoration remains poorly understood. We...

Moose, Caribou, and Fire: Have We Got it Right Yet?
Resource
Natural disturbance plays a key role in shaping community dynamics. Within Canadian boreal forests, the dominant form of natural disturbance is fire, and its effects are thought to influence the...
Moose, Caribou, and Fire: Have we got it Right Yet?
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...
Nutrition Integrates Environmental Responses of Ungulates
Resource
1. Nutrition influences most aspects of animal ecology: juvenile growth rates and adult mass gain, body condition, probability of pregnancy, over-winter survival, timing of parturition, and neonatal...
Paleolimnological Assessment of Past Hydro-ecological Variation at a Shallow Hardwater Lake in the Athabasca Oil Sands Region Before Potential Onset of Industrial Development
Resource
Effective environmental monitoring requires knowledge of inherent natural variation. In the absence of pre-development monitoring of aquatic ecosystems, paleolimnological approaches have been...
Partitioning Forest-Floor Respiration into Source Based Emissions in a Boreal Forested Bog: Response to Experimental Drought
Resource
Northern peatlands store globally significant amounts of soil carbon that could be released to the atmosphere under drier conditions induced by climate change. We measured forest floor respiration (R...
Petroleum Exploration Increases Methane Emissions from Northern Peatlands
Resource
Peatlands are globally significant sources of atmospheric methane (CH4). In the northern hemisphere, extensive geologic exploration activities have occurred to map petroleum deposits. In peatlands...
Potential Conflict between Future Development of Natural Resources and High-value Wildlife Habitats in Boreal Landscapes
Resource
We used the Muskwa-Kechika Management Area in northeast British Columbia, Canada as a case study to determine potential conflicts between future resource development and high-value habitats of large...
Predation Risk for Boreal Woodland Caribou in Human-modified Landscapes: Evidence of Wolf Spatial Responses Independent of Apparent Competition
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...
Preferential Recharge in a Reclaimed Tailings Sand Upland: Implications on Solute Flushing
Resource
Given the potential for moisture limited conditions due to the sub-humid regional climate, ensuring sufficient water availability in these landscapes is a principal concern. This research demonstrates...
Preliminary Results Presentation: Influence of Forest Harvesting on Predator-prey Dynamics Among Mountain Caribou, Sympatric Ungulates, and Predators
Resource
We investigated the effect of three forest-harvest prescriptions on the co-occurrence of caribou, sympatric ungulates, and predators: unharvested old-growth, clearcut harvesting, and group-selection..
Proactive Conservation of High-value Habitat for Woodland Caribou and Grizzly Bears in the Boreal Zone of British Columbia, Canada
Resource
Highlights • Maintain connectivity to preserve high-value habitats of caribou and grizzly bears. • Avoiding predation risk does not always maintain intact habitat for caribou. • Conserving most...
Re-establishment of Peatland Vegetation Following Surface Leveling of Decommissioned In Situ Oil Mining Infrastructures
Resource
