A video outlining the major drivers and impacts of the record-breaking 2023 wildfire season in Canada. A PDF of the PowerPoint can be found here.
Drivers, Pressures, and State Responses to Inform Long-term Oil Sands Wetland Monitoring Program Objectives
Resource
Boreal peatlands provide numerous ecosystem services ranging from carbon sequestration to the provisioning of habitat for species integral to Indigenous communities. In the Oil Sands Region of Alberta...
Early Performance of Some Native and Cultivated Grasses on Oil Sands Mine Disturbance Materials
Resource
The trial was established on blended materials consisting of native sand, clayey overburden and peat. Nine native grasses and eight cultivated grass varieties were seeded in June of 1981.
Early Successional Plant Community Dynamics on a Reclaimed Oil Sands Mine in Comparison With Natural Boreal Forest Communities
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...
Earth Observation for Improved Regulatory Decision Making in Alberta – Workshop Report
Resource
NRCan pilot science projects have proven that Earth Observation can provide relevant and valuable information to inform and enhance monitoring and support regulatory frameworks
Eastern Canadian Temperate Deciduous Forest
Resource
The Canadian National Vegetation Classification (CNVC) is an ecological classification of natural and semi-natural Canadian vegetation. The classification is a hierarchical taxonomy, describing...
Eastern North American Temperate Hardwood – Conifer Forest
Resource
The Canadian National Vegetation Classification (CNVC) is an ecological classification of natural and semi-natural Canadian vegetation. The classification is a hierarchical taxonomy, describing...
Éclaircie précommerciale en peuplements de sapin baumier : incidence sur la régénération
Resource
This fact sheet provides an overview of a study on the management implications of pre-commercial thinning in balsam fir. While the effects of pre-commercial thinning on stand growth and quality are...
Ecological Bench-marking and Biomonitoring for Detection of Airborne Pollutant Effects on Vegetation and Soils
Resource
There was only very limited evidence of biological responses to increased pollutant content in spite of significantly higher pollutant levels in tissues close to existing industrial developments.
Ecological Habitat Mapping of the AOSERP Study Area: Phase 1
Resource
Classification system devised for mapping vegetation and surficial geology from 1:60,000 scale false colour infrared photographs; 1:50 000 base maps plus a vegetation and a surficial geology overlay
Ecological Habitat Mapping of the AOSERP Study Area (Supplement): Phase 1
Resource
Ground surveys of vegetation and surficial geology generally confirmed that the classification systems used in the mapping accurately described and defined the ecological habitat features
Ecological Issues Related to Second-growth Boreal Forest Management in Eastern Quebec, Canada: Expert Perspectives from a Delphi Process
Resource
The Eastern boreal forests of Quebec, Canada, have been extensively harvested over the past decades. Second growth stands originating from sites harvested between 1920 and 1950 will soon reach the...

Ecologically-based Criteria to Assess the Impact and Recovery of Seismic Lines: The Importance of Width, Regeneration, and Seismic Density
Resource
We conducted a series of surveys to evaluate wildlife responses to different types of seismic lines in bogs, conifer‐dominated, mixedwood and deciduous forests in the western boreal forest. Research...
Economic Impacts of Short Rotation Woody Crops in Canada
Resource
Canada is seeking cost-effective means to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions, particularly CO2. One of the promising means is the short rotation woody crops (SRWC) plantation, a silvicultural approach...
Ecosystem Management in Paludified Boreal Forests: Enhancing Wood Production, Biodiversity, and Carbon Sequestration at the Landscape Level
Resource
Canada’s boreal forest represents an important contributor of the world’s wood supply industry. However, maintaining or increasing productivity of the boreal forest may be challenging in areas...
