Understory Forage on Seismic Lines
Resource
The paper by the fRI Research Caribou Program investigates seismic lines for their abundance of forage plants, which could attract predators of caribou such as bears as well as alternate prey for...
Ungulate Occurrence in Forest Harvest Blocks is Influenced by Forage Availability, Surrounding Habitat, and Silviculture Practices - Summary
Resource
In Canada, the young forests created by harvesting have shifted the distribution and abundance of deer, elk, and moose. A consequence is unsustainable caribou predation by shared predators like bears...
Ungulate Occurrence in Forest Harvest Blocks is Influenced by Forage Availability, Surrounding Habitat, and Silviculture Practices
Resource
Forest harvesting causes habitat loss and alteration and can change predator– prey dynamics. In Canada, forest harvesting has shifted the distribution and abundance of ungulates (deer, elk and moose)...
Unravelling the Impacts of Disturbance Type and Regeneration on Movement of Threatened Species
Resource
Impact of disturbance on the daily movement of two large threatened mammals, and examined the nuances of movement response to type and regeneration of disturbance across seasons.
Vegetation Growth on Seismic Lines in West-Central and North-Western Alberta
Resource
Seismic lines are slow to recover naturally, and many seismic lines need to be restored to contribute towards caribou recovery. Caribou predators use seismic lines to travel throughout caribou ranges...
Video - A Drainage Network Model for Regional-scale Land-use Planning in Alberta's Foothills
Resource
Dr. Richard McCleary draws the links between what we see in the field to the maps we have for planning and points out that the information we need for watershed assessment and riparian zones is the same.
