Examination of Two New Technologies to Assess the Diet of Woodland Caribou: Video Recorders Attached to Collars and DNA Barcoding
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...
Examining Management Scenarios to Mitigate Wildfire Hazard to Caribou
Resource
We undertook a wildfire risk assessment across the Cold Lake caribou range where we used the Burn-P3 model to determine: a) burn probability; b) wildfire risk to restored seismic line areas; and c) the effectiveness of mitigation measures. The burn probability of the landscape was highly heterogeneous, and recent large burns and some waterbodies provided “shields” that reduced burn probability on their leeward sides.
Expected Increased Risks of Wildfires in Canadian Wildland-Human Interface Areas
Resource
With climate change, current research predicts an increase in forest fires in the wildland-human interface or WHI; several inhabited areas will be more at risk in the years to come. Despite this...
Experimental Moose Reduction Lowers Wolf Density and Stops Decline of Endangered Caribou
Resource
Using an adaptive management experiment, we tested the hypothesis that reducing moose to historic levels would reduce apparent competition and therefor recover caribou populations.
Exploring Ecological Change in Western and Northern Canada
Resource
A video exploring the methods that researchers use to access ecological changes in Western Canada (including wildfires). A PDF of the PowerPoint can be found here.
Exploring Opportunities for Mitigating the Ecological Impacts of Current and Future Mountain Pine Beetle Outbreaks Through Improved Planning: A Focus on Northeastern British Columbia
Resource
The primary response to the present mountain pine beetle (MPB) epidemic has focused on salvaging beetle-killed wood while it remains economically viable, and developing methods for reducing the spread...

Extending the National Burned Area Composite Time Series of Wildfires in Canada
Resource
This study created a 35-year time series of wildfire burned areas in Canada from 1986 to 2020, using data from satellite imagery and aerial surveys. Wildfires are a major natural disturbance in Canada...
Extreme Precipitation Reduces Reproductive Output of an Endangered Raptor
Resource
Frequency and intensity of extreme weather has increased against a backdrop of anthropogenic land change. Extreme rainfall during the breeding season reduced reproductive success of burrowing owls.
Factors Affecting the Survival of Immature Lodgepole Pine in the Foothills of West-Central Alberta
Resource
Plots were established to monitor the survival of immature lodgepole pine ( Pinus contorta var. latifolia Engelm.) in over 70 cutover areas in the subalpine and boreal forest regions of west-central...
Factors Influencing the Seasonal Diet Selection by Woodland Caribou (Rangifer tarandus tarandus) in Boreal Forest in Ontario
Resource
We used remote video cameras over a two-year period to assess seasonal diet composition of 23 woodland caribou at three areas across the boreal forest of Ontario. Diet varied by season, land-cover...

Ferruginous Hawk Climate Change Adaptation Plan for Alberta
Resource
The Alberta Ferruginous Hawk Recovery Plan 2009 – 2014 identifies climate change as a factor potentially threatening the recovery of the species in Alberta.
Fertilization and Thinning Effects on a Douglas-fir Ecosystem at Shawnigan Lake: 15-year Growth Response
Resource
This report documents the 15-year growth response of a Douglas-fir ( Pseudotsuga menziesii (Mirb) Franco) stand to thinning and urea fertilization. The initial treatments were carried out when the...
Fertilization and Thinning Effects on a Douglas-Fir Ecosystem at Shawnigan Lake: 32-Year Growth Response
Resource
The Canadian Forest Service’s Shawnigan Lake Project (SLP) main experiment was established in 1971–1972 to study the effects of fertilizing and thinning 24-year-old coastal Douglas-fir ( Pseudotsuga...
Field Performance of Several Tree Species and Stock Types Planted in Montane Forests of Coastal British Columbia
Resource
The need for tree species selection on a site specific basis to regenerate the province’s forests is now recognized throughout British Columbia. However, little research has been done to assess the...
Fifty Years of Landsat Science and Impacts
Resource
Since 1972, the Landsat program has been continually monitoring the Earth, to now provide 50 years of digital, multispectral, medium spatial resolution observations. Over this time, Landsat data were...
