Scaling Up the Role of Predation in Caribou Declines in West-Central Alberta (Redwillow, Narraway, Redrock Prairie Creek, A la Pêche and Little Smoky Ranges)
Resource
Anthropogenic disturbances contribute to the way animals perceive and respond to their environment. These multiple disturbances can additionally act in non-independent ways to shape an animal’s...
Scaling Up the Role of Predation in Caribou Declines in West-Central Alberta (Redwillow, Narraway, Redrock Prairie Creek, A la Pêche and Little Smoky Ranges). 2012 AUPRF project status update
Resource
Avoidance by caribou and increased wolf predation risk in disturbed areas indicate functional habitat loss for caribou, yet these patterns alone do not necessarily imply a demographic impact. Spatial...
Scaling Up the Role of Predation in Caribou Declines in West‐Central Alberta (Redwillow, Narraway, Redrock Prairie Creek, A la Pêche and Little Smoky Ranges). Interim Report
Resource
Our primary goal is to address the relative contributions of forestry and oil and gas production to the decline of caribou populations. This knowledge can then be used to develop appropriate...
Seed Collection and Extraction of Fireweed, Showy Aster and Canada Goldenrod
Resource
Reclamation of industrial sites in Alberta’s forest settings requires the re-establishment of self-sustaining boreal forest ecosystems comprising native forest plant species. Considerable work has...
Seed Collection, Processing and Storage
Resource
This publication provides a valuable guide for reclamation practitioners and technicians through the documents that regulate plant deployment for reclamation in northwestern Alberta and to provide...
Selection for Forage and Avoidance of Risk by Woodland Caribou (Rangifer tarandus caribou) at Coarse and Local Scales
Resource
The relationship between selection at coarse and fine spatiotemporal spatial scales is still poorly understood. Some authors claim that, to accommodate different needs at different scales, individuals...

Site Clearing & Soil Handling for Reclamation of Conventional Wellsites
Resource
Upon abandonment, wellsites must be reclaimed to the standards as described in Alberta’s 2010 Reclamation Criteria for Wellsites and Associated Facilities in Forested Lands. The initial planning and...
Site Preparation: Application of Rough and Loose Mounding and Furrowing (RipPlow) on a Wood Mulched Site
Resource
The practice of mulching forested sites for industrial activities during winter operations is a useful construction practice as it minimizes soil disturbance by protecting the forest floor. However...
Soil Bio-Engineering for Site Restoration
Resource
Increasing use and/or degradation of ecosystems requires development of effective strategies for restoration. Urban developments, industrial uses, including mining, oil and gas and forestry, as well...
Space-use Behaviour of Woodland Caribou Based on a Cognitive Movement Model
Resource
Movement patterns offer a rich source of information on animal behaviour and the ecological significance of landscape attributes. This is especially useful for species occupying remote landscapes...
Spatial Variation in Nutrient Dynamics Among Five Different Peatland Types in the Alberta Oil Sands Region
Resource
Wetlands are found extensively throughout the Western Boreal Plain, a region under pressure because of disturbance by the oil and gas industries. To understand how wetland systems may respond to...
Special Considerations in Herbicide Use
Resource
Vegetation management is critical to establishing desirable plant species and to achieving reclamation objectives. This resource is one of four technical notes on vegetation management for reclamation...
Strategies for Evaluating the Effectiveness of Reclamation Successes on Native Landscapes
Resource
This study examined three pervasive issues that impacted native ecosystems. Numerous land use practices including oil and gas activities have led to the modification of native grasslands both the...
Testing the Moss Layer Transfer Technique on Mineral Well Pads Constructed in Peatlands

The Alberta Boreal Deer Project
Project
Contact
Alberta’s woodland caribou populations are declining, and wolf predation is considered a primary cause (Wittmer et al. 2005). Predation increases where seismic line density is high (ASRD 2010), so...
