UAV Remote Sensing can Reveal the Effects of Low Impact Seismic Lines on Methane (CH4) Release in a Forested Boreal Bog
Resource
Peatlands are globally significant stores of soil carbon, where local methane (CH 4 ) emissions are strongly linked to water table position and microtopography. Historically, these factors have been...
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.
Understory Forage on Seismic Lines
Resource
The paper by the fRI Research Caribou Program investigates seismic lines for their abundance of forage plants, which could attract predators of caribou such as bears as well as alternate prey for...
Ungulate Occurrence in Forest Harvest Blocks is Influenced by Forage Availability, Surrounding Habitat, and Silviculture Practices - Summary
Resource
In Canada, the young forests created by harvesting have shifted the distribution and abundance of deer, elk, and moose. A consequence is unsustainable caribou predation by shared predators like bears...
Ungulate Occurrence in Forest Harvest Blocks is Influenced by Forage Availability, Surrounding Habitat, and Silviculture Practices
Resource
Forest harvesting causes habitat loss and alteration and can change predator– prey dynamics. In Canada, forest harvesting has shifted the distribution and abundance of ungulates (deer, elk and moose)...

Unravelling the Impacts of Disturbance Type and Regeneration on Movement of Threatened Species
Resource
Impact of disturbance on the daily movement of two large threatened mammals, and examined the nuances of movement response to type and regeneration of disturbance across seasons.
Using camera traps to estimate density and population composition of deer, moose, and elk
Project
Organization:
Aerial surveys are the primary method to assess ungulate population size, demographics, and trends in Alberta. These estimates are used to set hunting license allocations and determine priority areas...
Using Tree Ring Analysis to Determine Impacts of a Road on a Boreal Peatland
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...
Vegetation Diversity in Mountain Peatlands
Resource
Mountain valley bottom peatlands are poorly studied systems, particularly in Alberta, Canada, where the provincial inventory has neither mapped nor characterized them. Nonetheless, these ecosystems...
Vegetation Growth on Seismic Lines in West-Central and North-Western Alberta
Resource
Seismic lines are slow to recover naturally, and many seismic lines need to be restored to contribute towards caribou recovery. Caribou predators use seismic lines to travel throughout caribou ranges...
Vegetation Recovery on Legacy Seismic Lines
Project
Contact
Organization:
Project Description:Despite decades of research assessing wildlife response to seismic lines, little is known about the effects of seismic line clearing on the quality of understory forage for...
Vegetation Studies Pertinent to the AOSERP Study Area: A Literature Review
Resource
Review of provides basis for evaluating the current progress regarding vegetation descriptions in this area and for designing certain future vegetation studies.
Very High Resolution Meteorological Satellite Study of Oil Sands Weather “A Feasibility Study”
Resource
Imagery from both meteorological and environmental satellite sensor systems was analyzed to determine its applicability in monitoring weather conditions at the Alberta oil sands.
Video - A Drainage Network Model for Regional-scale Land-use Planning in Alberta's Foothills
Resource
Dr. Richard McCleary draws the links between what we see in the field to the maps we have for planning and points out that the information we need for watershed assessment and riparian zones is the same.
Video - A Framework for Assessing Cumulative Effects on Watershed Values
Resource
This presentation describes a method of assessing cumulative effects, taking into account the many drivers or pressures on the landscape and their effects on watershed processes.
Video - A Recreational Trail Routing Tool Developed for the Ghost Watershed
Resource
David Campbell, geospatial analyst at FORCORP, talks about recreation in Alberta and the importance of considering many different environmental factors before creating a trail. Given current and...
