Low-impact Line Construction Retains and Speeds Recovery of Trees on Seismic Lines in Forested Peatlands
Resource
Seismic lines, linear features originating from the oil and gas industry for energy exploration, pose a substantial management challenge due to their collective impact on biogeochemical cycles, plant...
Management-mediated Predation Rate in the Caribou–Moose–Wolf System: Spatial Configuration of Logging Activities Matters
Resource
Landscape complexity can determine the population dynamics of interacting predators and prey. Yet, management plans are commonly developed from aspatial predictive models. This oversight may result in...
Recent Climate Change has Driven Divergent Hydrological Shifts in High-latitude Peatlands
Resource
High-latitude peatlands are changing rapidly in response to climate change, including permafrost thaw. Here, we reconstruct hydrological conditions since the seventeenth century using testate amoeba...
Soluble Calcium and Sulphate Excesses Related to Stress in Pinus contorta on Peat Amendments of Reclaimed Landscapes in the Boreal Oil Sands Region
Resource
Results indicated a negative relationship among pine performance with increasing soluble calcium and available sulphate-S
Spatial and Temporal Changes in Seasonal Range Attributes in a Declining Barren-ground Caribou Herd
Resource
From 1996 to 2015 the Bathurst caribou herd has declined from approximately 349,000 to 20,000 animals. Aboriginal traditional knowledge (TK) has recently observed the later arrival of the herd below...
Spatial and Temporal Variation in Forest Transpiration Across a Forested Boreal Peatland Complex
Resource
Transpiration is a globally important component of evapotranspiration. Careful upscaling of transpiration from point measurements is thus crucial for quantifying water and energy fluxes. In spatially...
The Essential Carbon Service Provided by Northern Peatlands
Resource
Northern peatlands have cooled the global climate by accumulating large quantities of soil carbon (C) over thousands of years. Maintaining the C sink function of these peatlands and their immense long...
Thermal Behaviour and Performance of Two Field Experimental Insulation Covers to Control Sulfide Oxidation at Meadowbank Mine, Nunavut
Resource
Insulation covers are an appealing reclamation approach to control sulfide oxidation in tailings storage facilities located in the Arctic. In this study, the thermal behaviour and effectiveness of...
Tools for Arctic Revegetation: What's in Your Toolbox?
Resource
Revegetation in arctic climates is a challenge for many reasons. There are two approaches to arctic revegetation: natural regeneration and active reclamation. Natural regeneration is an inexpensive...
Video - Wolves, Deer and Beaver: Implications of Prey Enrichment and Seasonal Prey Switching for Woodland Caribou Declines
Resource
At the 14th North American Caribou Workshop held in September 2012, Kyle Knopff presented research done researchers from the University of Alberta, University of Montana and Golder Associates Ltd.
Webinar - Caribou Habitat Restoration: A Trial in Northeastern Alberta
Resource
Woodland caribou (Rangifer tarandus caribou) are a threatened species federally and provincially in Alberta. Habitat restoration is critical to maintaining suitable habitat to support healthy...
Wolves, White-tailed Deer, and Beaver: Implications of Seasonal Prey Switching for Woodland Caribou Declines
Resource
Global warming and landscape changes in Alberta's bitumen sands have resulted in prey enrichment, which is changing the large mammal predator – prey system and causing declines in woodland caribou (...
Woodland Caribou "State of the Science" Backgrounder
Resource
Woodland caribou ( Rangifer tarandus caribou) are listed as a threatened species in Alberta and British Columbia and nationally; with the Central Mountain and Southern Mountain Populations listed as...
