Moose, Caribou, and Fire: Have We Got it Right Yet?
Resource
Natural disturbance plays a key role in shaping community dynamics. Within Canadian boreal forests, the dominant form of natural disturbance is fire, and its effects are thought to influence the...
National Tree Seed Centre Webinar - Equipment Solutions
Resource
Session one of the Scaling Up Seed Supply webinar series presented by the National Tree Seed Centre. This session focuses on the equipment needed to collect, clean, and store tree and shrub seeds...
National Tree Seed Centre Webinar - Forecasting Fall Seed Crops
Resource
This webinar presented by the National Tree Seed Centre focuses on tree and shrub species that produce seed in the autumn and how to predict if they will produce a good seed crop. Species discussed...
National Tree Seed Centre Webinar - Harvesting Wild Berry Crops
Resource
This webinar presented by the National Tree Seed Centre explains how to collect seeds from berry producing plants species. NTSC staff demonstrate protocols for handling and processing berries to...
National Tree Seed Centre Webinar - Species at Risk
Resource
This webinar presented by the National Tree Seed Centre focuses on tree and shrub species at risk and how to properly and effectively collect and store their seeds for maximum reforestation potential...
National Tree Seed Centre Webinar - Spring Seeding Hardwoods
Resource
This webinar presented by the National Tree Seed Centre teaches the skills and practices needed for collecting seeds from tree species which produce seeds in the spring. NTSC staff discuss maples...
On the Use of Mulching to Mitigate Permafrost Thaw due to Linear Disturbances in Sub-Arctic Peatlands
Resource
The presence or absence of permafrost strongly influences the hydrology and ecology of northern watersheds. Resource exploration activities are currently having profound effects on hydrological and...
Paleolimnological Assessment of Past Hydro-ecological Variation at a Shallow Hardwater Lake in the Athabasca Oil Sands Region Before Potential Onset of Industrial Development
Resource
Effective environmental monitoring requires knowledge of inherent natural variation. In the absence of pre-development monitoring of aquatic ecosystems, paleolimnological approaches have been...
Predicting Patterns of Terrestrial Lichen Biomass Recovery Following Boreal Wildfires
Resource
New allometric equations to estimate lichen biomass from field measurements of lichen cover and height; allometries were consistent among ecoprovinces, suggesting generalizability
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...
Spatial and Temporal Variation in Forest Transpiration Across a Forested Boreal Peatland Complex
Resource
Transpiration is a globally important component of evapotranspiration. Careful upscaling of transpiration from point measurements is thus crucial for quantifying water and energy fluxes. In spatially...
Temperature, Moisture and Freeze–thaw Controls on CO2 Production in Soil Incubations From Northern Peatlands
Resource
Peat accumulation in high latitude wetlands represents a natural long-term carbon sink, resulting from the cumulative excess of growing season net ecosystem production over non-growing season (NGS)...
The Biophysical Climate Mitigation Potential of Boreal Peatlands During the Growing Season
Resource
Peatlands and forests cover large areas of the boreal biome and are critical for global climate regulation. They also regulate regional climate through heat and water vapour exchange with the...
The Hydrology of Interconnected Bog Complexes in Discontinuous Permafrost Terrains
Resource
In the zone of discontinuous permafrost, the cycling and storage of water within and between wetlands is poorly understood. The presence of intermittent permafrost bodies tends to impede and re-direct...
The Influence of Postfire Recovery and Environmental Conditions on Boreal Vegetation
Resource
Climate change is increasing the frequency and extent of fires in the boreal biome of North America. These changes can alter the recovery of both canopy and understory vegetation. There is uncertainty...
Tweedsmuir-Entiako Caribou (Rangifer tarandus) Tactical Restoration Plan
Resource
This Report was prepared for BC Ministry of Forests, Lands, Natural Resource Operations and Rural Development, Smithers, B.C. This Tactical Restoration Plan was developed to provide guidance on...
Unexpected Greening in a Boreal Permafrost Peatland Undergoing Forest Loss is Partially Attributable to Tree Species Turnover
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...
