Trophic Consequences of Terrestrial Eutrophication for a Threatened Ungulate
Resource
Conservation actions directed at the proximate cause of caribou decline have been more successful in the near term than those directed further along the trophic chain.
Uncovering Traits in Recovering Grasslands: A Functional Assessment of Oil and Gas Well Pad Reclamation
Resource
Results suggest that even as practices and policies evolve, reclamation does not fully alleviate the legacy effects of industrial disturbance. Trait-based approaches can inform recovery assessment.
Understanding and Responding to the Effects of Climate Change on Alberta’s Biodiversity
Resource
The Biodiversity Management and Climate Change Adaptation project has produced a comprehensive, evidence-based, and original examination of the effects of climate change on Alberta’s biodiversity
Use of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles for Monitoring Recovery of Forest Vegetation on Petroleum Well Sites
Resource
Good statistical agreement between key structural vegetation parameters, such as mean and maximum vegetation height, with PPC metrics successfully predicting most height and tree-diameter metrics.
Video - Alberta's Biodiversity Management Framework for the Lower Athabasca Region
Resource
The presentation describes the development and content of the draft Biodiversity Management Framework for the Lower Athabasca Region
Video - Alberta’s Natural Subregions under a Changing Climate: Past, Present and Future
Resource
As a consequence of climate change, current landscape patterns are unlikely to persist in the future. The types of ecological changes expected to occur as the climate warms are described
Video - Applying Remote Sensing-Based Land Cover to Biodiversity Assessments
Resource
The presentation covers the use of remote sensing in assessing biodiversity and how using covariate data can improve on the interpretation of results
Video - Assessing Cumulative Ecological Effects: The Changing Management Landscape
Resource
Jim Schieck, research scientist at Alberta Innovates – Technology Futures, discusses how cumulative effects are currently being assessed in Alberta. He talks about the pilot study of how to use...
Video - Assessing the Provisioning of Water Purification in Alberta
Resource
The presentation describes the purpose and development of a water purification model that can be used to help decision-makers evaluate tradeoffs for land use development proposals
Video - Caribou Conservation Project
Resource
The Denesųłiné of Cold Lake First Nations (CLFN) are applying both their Indigenous Knowledge and expertise in western science to develop and implement diverse caribou conservation strategies in...
Video - Challenges to Monitoring Recovery of Woodland Caribou in Alberta
Resource
ABMI is working with the Government of Alberta to develop new methods to estimate caribou numbers, a species that is notoriously hard to count because of their rarity and association with dense forest
Video - Determining Community Level Physiological Profiles of Organic Soil Horizons
Resource
This presentation is about understanding how land disturbances impact the diversity, abundance and activity of soil microorganisms, and discusses both CLPP and functional diversity
Video - Economic and Ecological Outcomes of Flexible Biodiversity Offset Systems
Resource
Oil sands industry case study evaluated the economic and ecological performance of alternative offset networks targeting either ecologically equivalent areas or regional conservation priorities
Video - Forecasting the Future of Alberta’s Birds
Resource
I will demonstrate how data from ABMI can be combined with designed research studies to answer questions at spatial scales and temporal extents that are not possible for a single researcher to achieve
Video - Mapping Alberta’s Hidden Value: The ABMI’s Ecosystem Services Assessment Project
Resource
The goal of the program is to develop a set of spatially explicit models that can be used to map the supply and economic value ecosystems goods and services
Video - Monitoring Ecological Recovery of Reclaimed Wellsites in Alberta
Resource
I will introduce ABMI’s Ecological Recovery Monitoring program, which is establishing long-term monitoring protocols to assess ecological recovery at certified reclaimed wellsites across Alberta
Video - Multi-Temporal Remote Sensing: A New Perspective on the Dynamic Albertan Landscape
Resource
The presentation describes how multi-temporal remote sensing offers a better understanding of landscape changes over time in comparison to the more traditional two-date, before and after comparison.
Video - NatureLynx: The ABMI Leaps Into Citizen Science
Resource
The presentation describes the goals of NatureLynx and provides some demonstrations of the mobile and desktop platforms
Video - Now I've Heard Everything: The Acoustic Revolution in Wildlife Monitoring
Resource
Presentation tracks the evolution in technology used to monitor birds by recording their songs, with examples from different regions of the province.
