Results of Vegetation Survey as a Part of Neutralizing Lime Sludge Valorization Assessment
Resource
The use of the lime neutralization process is a common technique to treat acid mine drainage (AMD) generated by sulphidic mine wastes. The AMD-contaminated water collected on the mine site is...
Science-informed Policy Decisions Lead to the Creation of a Protected Area for a Wide-ranging Species at Risk
Resource
Protected areas are needed to conserve nature and biodiversity worldwide. The province of Québec (Canada) recently established a large wilderness area affording significant habitat protection for...
Seismic Line Impacts on Proximal Boreal Forest and Wetland Environments in Alberta
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...
Shortening Fire Return Interval Predisposes West-Central Canadian Boreal Peatlands to More Rapid Vegetation Growth and Transition to Forest Cover
Resource
Climate change in northern latitudes is increasing the vulnerability of peatlands and the riparian transition zones between peatlands and upland forests (referred to as ecotones) to greater frequency...
Shrub Changes with Proximity to Anthropogenic Disturbance in Boreal Wetlands Determined Using Bi-temporal Airborne LiDAR in the Oil Sands Region, Alberta Canada
Resource
Bi-temporal LiDAR data used to identify correspondence between density of anthropogenic disturbances, wetland shape complexity and changes in vegetation height within >1800 wetlands near Fort McKay
Stairway to Heaven or Highway to Hell? How Characteristics of Forest Roads Shape their use by Large Mammals in the Boreal Forest
Resource
By showing which forest roads are more used by caribou predators (wolves and bears) and its apparent competitor (moose), our study highlights the importance of considering both road-scale characteristics and the landscape context in which roads are built to prioritize the most detrimental roads to caribou conservation and guide efficient restoration efforts of its habitat.
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 Direct and Habitat-mediated Influence of Climate on the Biogeography of Boreal Caribou in Canada
Resource
Effective species conservation efforts require insight into whether a species’ extent of occurrence may shift due to changing climate, habitat loss, or both. The extent of occurrence of the threatened...
There is Still Time to Reconcile Forest Management With Climate-driven Declines in Habitat Suitability for Boreal Caribou
Resource
This study used the LANDIS-II forest landscape model to forecast boreal caribou habitat suitability across its distribution within the harvestable boreal forest in Québec for the period 2020–2100...

Thresholds in the Capacity of Boreal Caribou to Cope with Cumulative Disturbances: Evidence From Space Use Patterns
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...
Tree Species Mapping Around Reclaimed Oil and Gas Wells Sites Using Hyperspectral and Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) Remote Sensing
Resource
Oil and gas activities in Alberta require disturbing forested lands, among other ecosystems, in order to extract resources. Due to the number of oil and gas sites requiring reclamation, monitoring can...
Trophic Niche Partitioning Between Two Prey and Their Incidental Predators Revealed Various Threats for an Endangered Species
Resource
Documenting trophic niche partitioning and resource use within a community is critical to evaluate underlying mechanisms of coexistence, competition, or predation. Detailed knowledge about foraging is...
Video - A multi-level classification for Boreal wetlands
Resource
This presentation discusses the need for a multi-level classification for boreal wetlands and accurate change detection.
Video - Alberta Water Extent Monitoring Pilot Study
Resource
This presentation discusses the Alberta water extent monitoring pilot study, with the goal to create a database that has the potential for implementation at a provincial level.
Video - Atlantic-Gaspesie Caribou: Population Trends & Conservation Challenges
Resource
At the 14th North American Caribou Workshop in September 2012, Martin-Hugues St-Laurent presented on the state of the Atlantic-Gaspesie Caribou (DU11). This Designatable Unit is the smallest in Canada...
Video - Avoidance of Roads by Forest Dwelling Caribou and the Relation to Disturbance Intensity
Resource
At the 14th North American Caribou Workshop, held in September 2012, Mathieu Leblond presented on research related to caribou and road avoidance behaviour.
Video - Bathymetric LiDARs for Hydrographic Mapping
Resource
This presentation talks about Bathymetric LiDARs for Hydrographic Mapping with a focus on ALTM systems and data fusion.
