Monitoring Ecological Recovery of Reclaimed Wellsites: Protocols for Quantifying Recovery on Forested Lands
Resource
We developed a scientifically robust and financially sustainable monitoring protocol to enable a consistent assessment of ecological recovery at reclaimed industrial wellsites in forested lands
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...
Motorized Activity on Legacy Seismic Lines: A Predictive Modeling Approach to Prioritize Restoration Efforts
Resource
Natural regeneration of seismic lines, cleared for hydrocarbon exploration, is slow and often hindered by vegetation damage, soil compaction, and motorized human activity. There is an extensive...
Mounding Treatments Set Back Bryophyte Recovery on Linear Disturbances in Treed Peatlands
Resource
Treed peatlands are dominated by bryophytes, particularly Sphagnum spp., which create the characteristic hummock-hollow microtopography. This, in turn, shapes the distribution of bryophyte communities...
Movement Responses by Wolves to Industrial Linear Features and Their Effect on Woodland Caribou in Northeastern 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...
Natural Regeneration of Forest Vegetation on Legacy Seismic Lines in Boreal Habitats in Alberta’s Oil Sands Region
Resource
Mapping of oil reserves involves the use of seismic lines (linear disturbances) to determine both their location and extent. Conventional clearing techniques for seismic assessment have left a legacy...
Natural Regeneration on Seismic Lines Influences Movement Behaviour of Wolves and Grizzly Bears
Resource
Across the boreal forest of Canada, habitat disturbance is the ultimate cause of caribou ( Rangifer tarandus caribou) declines. Habitat restoration is a focus of caribou recovery efforts, with a goal...
