Nine Years of in Situ Soil Warming and Topography Impact the Temperature Sensitivity and Basal Respiration Rate of the Forest Floor in a Canadian Boreal Forest
Resource
The forest floor of boreal forest stores large amounts of organic C that may react to a warming climate and increased N deposition. It is therefore crucial to assess the impact of these factors on the...
No Statistical Support for Wolf Control and Maternal Penning as Conservation Measures for Endangered Mountain Caribou
Resource
Abstract Mountain caribou, a behaviourally and genetically distinct set of ecotypes of the Woodland caribou ( Rangifer tarandus caribou) restricted to the mountains of western Canada, have undergone...
Normes de remise en état – En existe-t-il une passe-partout?
Resource
This note explores lesson from EMEND that can inform reclamation approaches that embrace variation, as opposed to a one-size-fits-all approach.
Novel Aerial Photography as an Aid to Sampling Secondary Structure in Pine Stands
Resource
This project describes a new method for sampling secondary structure in beetle-attacked pine stands and reports on a test of its accuracy. The method consists of interpreting aerial photos taken when...
Nowhere to Hide: Effects of Linear Features on Predator–Prey Dynamics in a Large Mammal System
Resource
Rapid landscape alteration associated with human activity is currently challenging the evolved dynamical stability of many predator–prey systems by forcing species to behaviourally respond to novel...
Noyer cendré : quelles sont ses chances face au chancre?
Resource
The continuing spread of butternut canker constitutes the greatest threat to the survival of butternut trees, which have been protected under the Species at Risk Act since 2005. Furthermore, growing...

Resource
Oak wilt is a tree disease caused by the fungus Bretziella fagacearum. The fungus is widespread throughout the eastern United States and, as of 2021, found within 600 m of the Canadian border near...
Observed and Predicted Effects of Climate Change on Arctic Caribou and Reindeer
Resource
The ability of many species to adapt to the shifting environmental conditions associated with climate change will be a key determinant of their persistence in the coming decades. This is a challenge...

Oil Sands Development Contributes Polycyclic Aromatic Compounds to the Athabasca River and its Tributaries
Resource
For over a decade, the contribution of oil sands mining and processing to the pollution of the Athabasca River has been controversial. We show that the oil sands development is a greater source of...
