Linear Features, Forestry and Wolf Predation of Caribou and Other Prey in West Central Alberta
Resource
The primary goal of this research was to determine how human activities affect caribou population dynamics through modification of predator‐prey relationships. This knowledge can then be used to...
Long-term Revegetation Success of Industry Reclamation Techniques for Native Grassland: Northern Fescue Natural Subregion
Resource
This study is part of a multi-year, multi-stakeholder initiative to revisit industry revegetation strategies for native prairie in the Grassland Natural Region. Updating the guidelines is a two-step...
Long-term Revegetation Success of Industry Reclamation Techniques for Native Mixedgrass Prairie Cypress Uplands and Majorville Uplands Case Studies
Resource
The purpose of this research project is to provide industry and the government of Alberta regulatory agencies with results and key learnings regarding the long term recovery of native mixedgrass...
Maintaining Animal Assemblages Through Single-species Management: The Case of Threatened Caribou in Boreal Forest
Resource
With the intensification of human activities, preserving animal populations is a contemporary challenge of critical importance. In this context, the umbrella species concept is appealing because...
Management-mediated Predation Rate in the Caribou–Moose–Wolf System: Spatial Configuration of Logging Activities Matters
Resource
Landscape complexity can determine the population dynamics of interacting predators and prey. Yet, management plans are commonly developed from aspatial predictive models. This oversight may result in...
Meeting Caribou in the Alpine: Do Moose Compete with Caribou for Food?
Resource
The Atlantic-Gaspesie caribou ( Rangifer tarandus caribou) is an endangered, isolated population that has been declining for decades in response to intensive logging. Timber harvesting has led to a...
Merging Indigenous and Scientific Knowledge Links Climate with the Growth of a Large Migratory Caribou Population
Resource
Climate change in the Arctic is two to three times faster than anywhere else in the world. It is therefore crucial to understand the effects of weather on keystone arctic species, particularly those...
Meta-analysis Reveals that Enhanced Practices Accelerate Vegetation Recovery During Peatland Restoration
Resource
Abstract The provision of critical ecosystem services like carbon sequestration by peatlands has been degraded around the globe. Peatland restoration represents an opportunity to tackle the twin...
Mineral Road in Sphagnum Dominated Peatlands: The Burial Under Peat Layer Restoration Method
Resource
This research poster gives examples of peatland restoration using the burial under peat method at two sites in Quebec. Presented at the NAIT 7th Seminar on Linear Disturbance Impacts on Boreal Wetland...
Mining Development, Migratory Caribou, and Land Use in Northern Quebec
Resource
A 2017 interactive web-based resource that covers the George River and Leaf River caribou herds. The resource has various narratives about the herds, as well as maps that show the range of the caribou...
Monitoring Wetland Vegetation and Reclamation Across Space and Time
Resource
Measuring variability in natural processes requires rigorous data collection and could increase the cost of environmental monitoring for oil and gas operators. Recent advances in remote-sensing and...
