Potential Spatial Overlap of Heritage Sites and Protected Areas in a Boreal Region of Northern Canada
Resource
Abstract Under article 8-J of the Convention on Biological Diversity, governments must engage indigenous and local communities in the designation and management of protected areas. A better...
Potential Spatial Overlap of Heritage Sites and Protected Areas in a Boreal Region of Northern Canada
Project
Organization:
This project examined the potential overlap between Gwich'in First Nations (Northwest Territories, Canada) heritage sites and areas independently identified for the protection of conventional...
Predicting Patterns of Regeneration on Seismic Lines to Inform Restoration Planning in Boreal Forest Habitats
Resource
Mapping of oil reserves involves the use of seismic lines (linear disturbances) to determine size of reserves. These linear disturbances fragment forests and in many cases fail to regenerate trees...
Predicting the Cumulative Effects of Human Development on Biodiversity in Northeastern Alberta
Resource
We used information from the Alberta Biodiversity Monitoring Institute (ABMI) on birds, plants, human footprint, and vegetation, plus information from Dr. Bayne on birds, to test a new method for...
Prioritization can Improve Cost Effectiveness of Seismic Line Restoration
Resource
Upland mesic sites showed a relatively strong ability to regenerate on their own (passive restoration), while lowland (bogs and fens) and upland dry sites were slow to recover.
Quantification of Lichen Cover and Biomass Using Field Data, Airborne Laser Scanning and High Spatial Resolution Optical Data - A Case Study from a Canadian Boreal Pine Forest
Resource
Abstract: Ground-dwelling macrolichens dominate the forest floor of mature upland pine stands in the boreal forest. Understanding patterns of lichen abundance, as well as environmental characteristics...

Reclamation of an Eroded Lakeshore Slope Using Small Vegetation Islands and Terraces
Resource
Bioengineering approaches to slope stabilization involve biological and mechanical methods with low impact on the environment and landscape. Slope stabilization using vegetation patches or islands can...
Relationships between Rangifer and Indigenous Well-being in the North American Arctic and Subarctic: A Review Based on the Academic Published Literature
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...
Saving Endangered Species Using Adaptive Management
Resource
Adaptive management is a powerful means of learning about complex ecosystems, but is rarely used for recovering endangered species. Here, we demonstrate how it can benefit woodland caribou, which...
Social-ecological Reclamation in the Northwest Territories: A Framework for Healing Human-caribou Relations
Resource
Abstract The impacts of mining activity on human-caribou relationships in the Northwest Territories have been a focus of study in both the natural and social sciences for decades. Guided by Łutsel K’e...

Spatiotemporal Variations of Total and Dissolved Trace Elements and Their Distributions Amongst Major Colloidal Forms Along and Across the Lower Athabasca River
Resource
With a wide variety of natural and potential anthropogenic inputs, the Athabasca River (AR) has been the focus of recent attention. In addition to natural inputs of trace elements (TEs) from...
