Climate, Land Cover and Topography: Essential Ingredients in Predicting Wetland Permanence
Resource
Wetlands in the Prairie Pothole Region (PPR) are forecast to retract in their ranges due to climate change, and potholes that typically contain ponded water year-round, which support a larger...
CO2 Uptake Decreased and CH4 Emissions Increased in First Two Years of Peatland Seismic Line Restoration
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...
Conservation of Caribou (Rangifer tarandus) in Canada: An Uncertain Future
Resource
Caribou (Rangifer tarandus (L., 1758)) play a central role in the ecology and culture of much of Canada, where they were once the most abundant cervid. Most populations are currently declining, and...
Consistent but Delayed Timing of Precipitation Affects Community Composition of Prairie Pothole Birds and Aquatic Macroinvertebrates, but not Wetland Plants
Resource
The hydroperiod (i.e., the length of time ponded water is present) of prairie potholes is sensitive to climate change. Because snowmelt runoff is the largest contributor to ponded water amounts, a...
Constructed Wetland Pilot Project at the Strachan Gas Plant
Resource
A pilot scale constructed wetland was built at the Strachan Gas Plant to evaluate its ability to treat dissolved phase hydrocarbons in groundwater. The overall objective was to assess the feasibility...
Controls on Plot-Scale Growing Season CO2 and CH4 Fluxes in Restored Peatlands: Do They Differ From Unrestored and Natural Sites?
Resource

Determining the Importance of Grizzly Bear Predation on Central Mountain Caribou Populations: Final Report
Resource
To gain a better understanding of possible impacts of grizzly bears on central mountain caribou populations, we investigated three separate but inter-related topics concerning grizzly bear predation...
Determining the Importance of Grizzly Bear Predation on Southern Mountain Caribou Populations
Resource
The goal of this project is to determine to what extent grizzly bear predation might be influencing caribou populations in west-central Alberta. We use existing datasets supplemented with additional...
Developing Allometric Equations for Estimating Shrub Biomass in a Boreal Fen
Resource
This study develops allometric equations for three dominant genera found in boreal fens: Alnus spp. (alder), Salix spp. (willow) and Betula pumila (bog birch).
Disconnectivity Matters: The Outsized Role of Small Ephemeral Wetlands in Landscape-scale Nutrient Retentions
Resource
Wetlands protect downstream waters by filtering excess nitrogen (N) generated from agricultural and urban activities. Small ephemeral wetlands, also known as geographically isolated wetlands (GIWs)...
Disturbance Zones of Influence on Boreal Songbird Communities in Northeastern Alberta
Resource
Canada’s boreal forest is important habitat for many North American birds, which play a vital role in the health of forests, and provide ecosystem services. Expanding human development in northern...
Divergent Patterns of Understory Forage Growth After Seismic Line Exploration: Implications for Caribou Habitat Restoration
Resource
Using field data from 351 seismic lines across [Alberta], and focusing on forage taxa preferred by moose and bears, we [investigated the effects of seismic line clearing on forage and resilience]
Do Oil and Gas Activities and Access Control Measures Affect the Distribution, Abundance and Movements of Grizzly Bears?
Resource
To understand how oil and gas activities and access control measures, particularly gates, influences grizzly bears and their habitats in Alberta, we used multiple data sources including spatial layers...
Drivers, Pressures, and State Responses to Inform Long-term Oil Sands Wetland Monitoring Program Objectives
Resource
Boreal peatlands provide numerous ecosystem services ranging from carbon sequestration to the provisioning of habitat for species integral to Indigenous communities. In the Oil Sands Region of Alberta...

Ecological Restoration Research in Canada: Who, What, Where, When, Why, and How?
Resource
Much has been achieved by research into ecological restoration as a nature-based solution to the destruction of ecosystems, particularly in Canada. We conducted a national-level synthesis of Canadian...
Ecologically-based Criteria to Assess the Impact and Recovery of Seismic Lines: The Importance of Width, Regeneration, and Seismic Density
Resource
We conducted a series of surveys to evaluate wildlife responses to different types of seismic lines in bogs, conifer‐dominated, mixedwood and deciduous forests in the western boreal forest. Research...
