Habitat Alteration or Climate: What Drives the Densities of an Invading Ungulate?
Resource
Anthropogenic habitat alteration and climate change are two well-known contributors to biodiversity loss through changes to species distribution and abundance; yet, disentangling the effects of these...
Habitat Loss Accelerates for the Endangered Woodland Caribou in Western Canada
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...
Habitat Loss Accelerates for the Endangered Woodland Caribou in Western Canada
Resource
Habitat loss is often the ultimate cause of species endangerment and is also a leading factor inhibiting species recovery. For this reason, species-at-risk legislation, policies and plans typically...
Habitat Selection at Different Scales for a Declining Aerial Insectivorous Bird as Determined by Autonomous Recording Technology
Resource
Conservation management is impeded by the lack of baseline data for many non-passerine, cryptic, or nocturnal species that are inadequately sampled by traditional monitoring programs. The recent rise...
HydroGeoSim: A Water Purification Geosimulation Modelling Platform
Resource
The model documentation summarizes the data, variables and assumptions required to capture how water purification services are provided across landscapes in Alberta
Hydrological Functioning of a Constructed Peatland Watershed in the Athabasca Oil Sands Region: Potential Trajectories and Lessons Learned
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...
Impacts of Land-use Management on Ecosystem Services and Biodiversity: An Agent-based Modelling Approach
Resource
This ecosystem service modelling system allows stakeholders to evaluate the opportunities and trade-offs to make informed decisions for achieving land-use planning goals.
Incorporating Mechanism into Conservation Actions in an Age of Multiple and Emerging Threats: The Case of Boreal Caribou
Resource
Conservation strategies for imperiled species are frequently based on identifying and addressing the probable causes of population decline, an approach known as the declining population paradigm...
Increasing Contributions of Peatlands to Boreal Evapotranspiration in a Warming Climate
Resource
The response of evapotranspiration (ET) to warming is of critical importance to the water and carbon cycle of the boreal biome, a mosaic of land cover types dominated by forests and peatlands. The...
Influence of In-Situ Oil Sands Development on Caribou (Rangifer tarandus) Movement
Resource
Predictions demonstrate that maintaining permeability across In-situ oil sands development is more important than spacing between leases or including protected areas.
Intentional Anthropogenic Additions to Soils: Pesticides
Resource
During the 1980's, environmental issues grew rapidly in importance, and more sophisticated modelling scenarios were developed as an aid in predicting the transport and persistence behaviour of...
Intervention-forward Adaptive Management in the Face of Extinction
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...
Investigation of Microbial Community Response During Oil Sands Reclamation via Lipid and Carbon Isotope Analyses
Resource
In this study, phospholipid fatty acids (PLFA) and carbon isotopes were used to characterize the response of in situ microbial communities to a pilot-scale wetland reclamation project in the Alberta...
Isotope-based Water Balance Assessment of Open Water Wetlands Across Alberta: Regional Trends with Emphasis on the Oil Sands Region
Resource
Water sampling for stable isotopes ( 18O and 2H) was carried out during 2009–2019 across Alberta, Canada, as part of a survey targeting 1022 open water wetlands. The study presents the first site...
Large Scale Mapping of Soil Organic Carbon Concentration with 3D Machine Learning and Satellite Observations
Resource
Canada has extensive forests and peatlands that play key roles in global carbon cycle. Canadian soils and peatlands are assumed to store approximately 20% of the world’s soil carbon stock. However...
