Webinar - How Mounds are Made Matters: Implications for Seismic Line Restoration in Peatlands
Resource
Presented by Kimberly Kleinke from the University of Waterloo The boreal forest of western Canada is fragmented by seismic lines created for oil and gas exploration. These linear disturbances have...
Webinar - Impact of Resource Extraction on Canada's Boreal Peatlands
Resource
This presentation highlights ongoing research in northern Alberta examining peatland carbon and greenhouse gas exchange as a measure of peatland ecosystem function.
Webinar - Predators, Prey, and Harvest Blocks in West-central Alberta Caribou Ranges
Resource
The links between habitat disturbance, primary prey, shared predators, and decreasing caribou populations are well established, and long-term solutions for caribou recovery will require management to...
Webinar - Restoring the Wetland Plant Community After Invasive Reed Control
Resource
Recovery and Resistance: Restoring the wetland plant community after invasive reed control Presenter: Dr. Rebecca Rooney, University of Waterloo For established invasions, like European common reed...
Webinar - Returning the Carbon Sink Function: An Overview of Canadian Peatland Restoration
Resource
This presentation provides an overview of a long-term university-industry research partnership to improve understanding of peatland ecosystem function and reclamation techniques.
Webinar - The Evaluation of Peatland Restoration Following In-situ Oil and Gas Infrastructure Disturbances
Resource
Presented by Meike Lemmer, PhD, Research Scientist at University of Applied Sciences Weihenstephan-Triesdorf Dr. Meika Lemmer's research studied several peatland restoration approaches following the...
Wellsite Selection by Grizzly Bears Ursus arctos in West-central Alberta
Resource
Oil and gas development is widespread in west – central Alberta, yet little is known about the potential impacts of oil and gas activities on grizzly bear habitat use. Focusing on the impacts of one...
Wetlands in the Athabasca Oil Sands Region: The Nexus between Wetland Hydrological Function and Resource Extraction
Resource
Oil sands development within the Athabasca Oil Sands Region (AOSR) has accelerated in recent decades, causing alteration to natural ecosystems including wetlands that perform many vital ecosystem...
Which Linear Feature Characteristics Relate to Wildlife Use?
Resource
Linear feature restoration is aimed at conserving woodland caribou by deterring use by predators and other ungulate prey. This infographic by Sunny Tseng describes the key results from a paper by Erin...
Whose Line Is It Anyway? Moose (Alces alces) Response to Linear Features
Resource
Linear features are pervasive across the boreal forest of Canada, negatively impacting several wildlife species. Understanding how wildlife responds to different types and characteristics of linear...
Wildfire Overrides Hydrological Controls on Boreal Peatland Methane Emissions
Resource
Boreal peatlands represent a globally important store of carbon, and disturbances such as wildfire can have a negative feedback to the climate. Understanding how carbon exchange and greenhouse gas...
Wildlife Forage Cover and Composition on Pipeline Corridors in Alberta: Implications for Wildlife Conservation
Resource
