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...
Salinity Tolerance of Three Salix Species: Survival, Biomass Yield and Allocation, and Biochemical Efficiencies
Resource
Salinity tolerance is an important adaptive trait for land reclamation, particularly after petroleum extraction from the Athabasca oil sands “gigaproject” in western Canada. We compared survival...
Sampling Techniques to Detect Canopy Infestations of the Hemlock Woolly Adelgid
Resource
Hemlock woolly adelgid ( Adelges tsugae Annand) has recently invaded Canada and is threatening the survival of eastern hemlock. An important part of the management of the hemlock woolly adelgid is...

This project is a part of the Government of Canada’s initiative for monitoring and assessing regional cumulative effects, a recently added requirement to the new Impact Assessment Act (2019). Among...
Satellite-detected Decreases in Caribou Lichen Cover, Cladonia (Cladina) spp., Over Eastern Canada During the Last Three Decades
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...
Save Our Species: A Blueprint for Restoring Butternut (Juglans cinerea) across Eastern North America
Resource
Butternut is a relatively uncommon hardwood tree native to eastern North America. The species’ abundance has declined over the past 50 years, primarily because of an invasive pathogen ( Ophiognomonia...
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...
Science and Indigenous Knowledge to Predict Changes in Caribou Habitat
Project
Organization:
To provide essential knowledge for improving woodland caribou recovery plans, the Canadian Forest Service initiated an integrative research project in collaboration with the Pessamit Innu community...
Science-based Responsible Resource Development: Lessons Learned From Two Canadian Success Stories
Resource
Most of Canada’s natural resource development (i.e., forestry, oil and gas, and mining activities) occurs in the boreal forest. These industrial activities lead to extensive land disturbances that...
Science-informed Policy Decisions Lead to the Creation of a Protected Area for a Wide-ranging Species at Risk
Resource
Protected areas are needed to conserve nature and biodiversity worldwide. The province of Québec (Canada) recently established a large wilderness area affording significant habitat protection for...
Seed Collection Guide for Six Boreal Plants Important to Indigenous Peoples
Resource
This publication is intended to be a source for plant identification and seed collection and is available to all who wish to use it. We aimed to make the information in this guide illustrative for...
Seed Shelters Improve Black Spruce Establishment and Survival on Upland Cutovers
Resource
This note presents fifth-year stocking, density, and height growth results for three lowland and three upland seed spot experiments that compare untreated/unsheltered black spruce seed spots with...
Seedwhere: A Computer Tool for Tree Planting and Ecological Restoration
Resource
It is generally recognized that plants are genetically adapted to the prevailing climate. Planting stock is often moved across environmental gradients with little knowledge of the ecological risks...
