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...
A Deeper Dive into Human Footprint in Alberta
Resource
As of 2015, 29.2% of Alberta is under human footprint, up from 25.7% in 1999—that’s an average increase of about 0.22%, or around 1450 km2 (560 sections) per year.
A Field Guide to the Wetlands of the Boreal Plains Ecozone of Canada
Resource
This guide provides an in-depth look at Ducks Unlimited Canada's (DUC) remote-sensing satellite mapping efforts and the development of the DUC enhanced wetland classification system.
A Framework for Adaptive Monitoring of the Cumulative Effects of Human Footprint on Biodiversity
Resource
Effective ecological monitoring is imperative in a human-dominated world, as our ability to manage functioning ecosystems will depend on understanding biodiversity responses to anthropogenic impacts...
A Greener World May Hold Red Flags for Woodland Caribou
Resource
A team from the ABMI’s Caribou Monitoring Unit, studied links between habitat alteration (e.g., forest harvesting), primary productivity, moose, wolves, and caribou across the Canadian boreal forest
A Literature Review for Monitoring Rare and Elusive Species, and Recommendations on Survey Design for Monitoring Boreal Caribou
Resource
Effective wildlife management requires monitoring changes in the spatial distribution of species, their population size and their population trend (Williams et al. 2002; Sinclair et al. 2006)...
ABMI Science Letter: Factors Affecting Nutrient Variation in Alberta Prairie Wetlands
Resource
Our results indicate water depth, surrounding agriculture footprint, and amount of precipitation received all significantly influence the water quality of prairie wetlands in Alberta.
ACFN-MCFN Tâdzié-Sagow Atihk Stewardship Plan
Resource
This document describes an Indigenous knowledge-based stewardship plan for the four ranges of the boreal population of woodland caribou (tâdzié in Dené; sagow atihk in Cree; Rangifer tarandus caribou...
Adapting Monitoring to More Effectively Assess the Impacts of Climate Change on Alberta’s Biodiversity
Resource
Use of ABMI samples to understand genetic variation and changes in genetic structure is identified as an area where ABMI data can be used to understand how biodiversity is adapting to climate change
