Caribou Use of Habitat Near Energy Development in Arctic Alaska
Resource
Increasing demands for energy have generated interest in expanding oil and gas production on the North Slope of Alaska, USA, raising questions about the resilience of barren-ground caribou ( Rangifer...
Revealing the Hidden Carbon in Forested Wetland Soils
Resource
Inland wetlands are critical carbon reservoirs storing 30% of global soil organic carbon (SOC) within 6% of the land surface. However, forested regions contain SOC-rich wetlands that are not included...

Survival and Reproduction in Arctic Caribou are Associated with Summer Forage and Insect Harassment
Resource
Investigators have speculated that the climate-driven “greening of the Arctic” may benefit barren-ground caribou populations, but paradoxically many populations have declined in recent years. This...
The Boreal-Arctic Wetland and Lake Dataset
Resource
Here we present the Boreal–Arctic Wetland and Lake Dataset (BAWLD), a land cover dataset based on an expert assessment, extrapolated using random forest modelling from available spatial datasets of...
Using Perceptions as Evidence to Improve Conservation and Environmental Management
