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 Relationships and Management of Terrestrial Birds in Northeastern Alberta
Resource
Breeding bird studies using the mapping method were combined with intensive habitat quantification to determine the relative values to breeding avifauna of 21 habitat types
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...
Heavy Metal Dynamics in the Athabasca River: Sediment Concentrations Prior to Major Alberta Oil Sands Development
Resource
To document the natural heavy metal geochemistry of the sediment and to assess cultural influences if any on concentrations. Absolute concentrations are low compared to data for polluted sediments
Heavy Metals in Bottom Sediments of the Mainstem Athabasca River System in the AOSERP Study Area
Resource
Dredged sediments and sediment cores were collected from sites along the Athabasca River system from between Fort McMurray and the confluence of Riviere des Rochers with the Slave River
Human System Alberta Oil Sands Environmental Research Program 1975-1980: An Integration and Synthesis of Research Results
Resource
Describe, ananlyse, and interpret the socio-economic changes which had occurred in Fort McMurray from development of Suncor and Syncrude operations and assess changes in relation to development stages
Hydrogeological Investigation of the Muskeg River Basin, Alberta
Resource
Streamflow in all basins influenced by the disturbance of muskeg. Where muskeg is removed and replaced by mineral soils, stream discharge will decrease during spring runoff and stormflow periods
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
Impact of Air Pollutant Mixtures on Forest Vegetation and Soils
Resource
No impact on jack pine physiology was found when concentrations of the dominant pollutants from Oil Sands operations equivalent to 104 years of soluble disposition were added to intact soil cores
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...
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.
Insects on the Suncor Dike, a Survey of the Types Present and an Evaluation of their Effects on Dike Vegetation
Resource
Representatives of 50 insect families were collected in sweep net samples, and additional families were observed to be present on the Suncor dike. Insect attacks were severe on conifer trees
Interim Compilation of 1976 Suspended Sediment Data for the AOSERP Study Area
Resource
This report contains all the available suspended sediment discharge information for 1976 that was collected by Water Survey of Canada and by Alberta Oil Sands Environmental Research Program (AOSERP)...
Interim Compilation of 1977 Suspended Sediment Data for the AOSERP Study Area
Resource
This compilation report contains all the available 1977 suspended sediment concentration and particle size data collected in the Alberta Oil Sands Environmental Research Program study area.
Interim Compilation of Stream Gauging Data, 1979
Resource
Contains all available 1979 hydrometric data including daily discharges for streamflow stations with corresponding hydrographs and stage-discharge curves and water level information for gauged lakes.
Interim Report II: Baseline States of Small Mammal Populations in the AOSERP Study Area
Resource
Changes in the demography and habitat use of three small rodent species (Clethrionomys gapperi, Microtus pennsylvanicus and Peromyscus maniculatus) and snowshoe hares (Lepus americanus) were monitored
