Routes to Response: A Conceptual Framework to Detect the Effect of Oil Sands Industrial Activity on the Land
Resource
The Oil Sands Monitoring Program is assessing the environmental impacts of oil sands development at different spatial scales. Monitoring in the Oil Sands Region operates under a consistent framework...
Rusty Blackbird (Euphagus carolinus ) Population and Distribution Data in the Athabasca and Cold Lake Oil Sands Regions of Alberta using Automated Recording Units (ARUs)
Resource
The Rusty Blackbird ( Euphagus carolinus ) was listed as Special Concern on Schedule 1 of the federal Species at Risk Act in March 2009 because of large and longterm declines in population size. The...
Saving Endangered Species Using Adaptive Management
Resource
Adaptive management is a powerful means of learning about complex ecosystems, but is rarely used for recovering endangered species. Here, we demonstrate how it can benefit woodland caribou, which...
Semi-aquatic Mammals: Annotated Bibliography
Resource
Annotated bibliography contains 776 entries grouped under the species: muskrat, beaver, mink, and otter

Organization
SENSR (Services for Environmental Sensor Research) is the latest ABMI addition to our national affiliate, the non-profit Biodiversity Pathways. SENSR is dedicated to helping you get the most out of...
Service Delivery in the Athabasca Oil Sands Region Since 1961
Resource
Population growth in Fort McMurray (from 1200 people to 25,000) necessitated the institution and continuous expansion of a service delivery system, including urban infrastructure and social services
Should Climate Change be Taken into Account in Reclamation Planning?
Resource
If you are planning or undertaking revegetation using long-lived species such as trees then you should be giving some consideration to the environment they may experience in the future
Shrub Changes with Proximity to Anthropogenic Disturbance in Boreal Wetlands Determined Using Bi-temporal Airborne LiDAR in the Oil Sands Region, Alberta Canada
Resource
Bi-temporal LiDAR data used to identify correspondence between density of anthropogenic disturbances, wetland shape complexity and changes in vegetation height within >1800 wetlands near Fort McKay
Slowing Down Wolves to Protect Boreal Caribou Populations: A Spatial Simulation Model of Linear Feature Restoration
Resource
In Canada, boreal caribou ( Rangifer tarandus caribou) are declining in numbers, in part due to increased predation by wolves ( Canis lupus). One management option to reduce wolf–caribou interactions...
Small Mammal Populations of Northeastern Alberta. I. Populations in Natural Habitats
Resource
Study of small mammal populations (small rodents and snowshoe hares), habitat use, small rodent diets, and small mammal damage in natural forest and successional communities from June 1978 to Nov 1979
Small Mammal Populations of Northeastern Alberta. II. Populations in Reclamation Areas
Resource
Study of small rodent populations, habitat use, and amounts of small mammal damage to woody-stemmed plants on reclamation areas of Suncor Inc. lease from July 1978 to November 1979
Soil Physical Properties in Reclamation
Resource
To provide coordinated direction for reclamation research in Alberta, the need to review the current understanding and the role of soil physical properties in soil disturbance related activities was...
Soil Quality Criteria Relative to Disturbance and Reclamation (Revised)
Resource
Land disturbances due to resource extraction and transport are intended to be only temporary disruptions to the normal use of land for food and fiber production or for recreation. Although no two...
