Reclamation of Ducks Unlimited Habitat Projects in Alberta
Resource
Ducks Unlimited Canada, a non-profit private conservation organization, has been involved in the preservation and creation of waterfowl habitat in Canada for 49 years. Project development occurs...
Regional Habitat Needs of a Nationally Listed Species, Canada Warbler (Cardellina canadensis), in Alberta, Canada
Resource
Understanding factors that affect the distribution and abundance of species is critical to developing effective management plans for conservation. Our goal was to quantify the distribution and...
Resource Roads and Wetlands: A Guide for Planning, Construction, and Maintenance
Resource
This guide contains best management practices that help plan, construct and maintain resource roads in forested environments in order to maintain the movement of water in wetlands.
Resource Roads and Wetlands: Practical Applications to Maintain Hydrologic Connectivity
Resource
This presentation highlights planning and operations applications of water management techniques for resource roads crossing wetlands.
Results of Vegetation Survey as a Part of Neutralizing Lime Sludge Valorization Assessment
Resource
The use of the lime neutralization process is a common technique to treat acid mine drainage (AMD) generated by sulphidic mine wastes. The AMD-contaminated water collected on the mine site is...
Science-informed Policy Decisions Lead to the Creation of a Protected Area for a Wide-ranging Species at Risk
Resource
Protected areas are needed to conserve nature and biodiversity worldwide. The province of Québec (Canada) recently established a large wilderness area affording significant habitat protection for...

Recovery and Resistance: Restoring the wetland plant community after invasive reed control PRESENTER: DR. REBECCA ROONEY, UNIVERSITY OF WATERLOO For established invasions, like European common reed...
Source or Sink? Meta-analysis Reveals Diverging Controls of Phosphorus Retention and Release in Restored and Constructed Wetlands
Resource
Wetland restoration is a popular nutrient management strategy for improving water quality in agricultural catchments. However, a wetland’s ability to retain phosphorus is highly variable and wetlands...
Stairway to Heaven or Highway to Hell? How Characteristics of Forest Roads Shape their use by Large Mammals in the Boreal Forest
Resource
By showing which forest roads are more used by caribou predators (wolves and bears) and its apparent competitor (moose), our study highlights the importance of considering both road-scale characteristics and the landscape context in which roads are built to prioritize the most detrimental roads to caribou conservation and guide efficient restoration efforts of its habitat.

Summary Pamphlet - Wetland Road Crossing Hydrological Monitoring Report
Resource
Road networks, both temporary and permanent, are necessary for accessing natural resources in the boreal forest. Forest roads can alter hydrology by 1) affecting the movement of water 2) reducing the...
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...
The Direct and Habitat-mediated Influence of Climate on the Biogeography of Boreal Caribou in Canada
Resource
Effective species conservation efforts require insight into whether a species’ extent of occurrence may shift due to changing climate, habitat loss, or both. The extent of occurrence of the threatened...
The Importance of Geology, Climate and Anthropogenic Disturbances in Shaping Boreal Wetland and Aquatic Landscape Types
Resource
This study quantified the distribution of wetland and aquatic wildlife-habitat landscape types in boreal Quebec and determined how wildlife habitats vary among climatic regimes and landforms.
There is Still Time to Reconcile Forest Management With Climate-driven Declines in Habitat Suitability for Boreal Caribou
Resource
This study used the LANDIS-II forest landscape model to forecast boreal caribou habitat suitability across its distribution within the harvestable boreal forest in Québec for the period 2020–2100...
Thresholds in the Capacity of Boreal Caribou to Cope with Cumulative Disturbances: Evidence From Space Use Patterns
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...
