A Before-After Dose-Response (BADR) Terrestrial Biological Monitoring Framework for the Oil Sands
Resource
One of the theme areas monitored within the OSM program is terrestrial biodiversity, known programmatically as Terrestrial Biological Monitoring (TBM). Biodiversity refers to the diversity of wild...
A Burning Question: What are the Implications of Forest Fires for Woodland Caribou?
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...
A Comparative Study of Benthic Algal Primary Productivity in the AOSERP Study Area
Resource
Seasonal fluctuations in algal species and numbers were influenced by a myriad of interacting factors as were standing crop fluctuations. Numerically, cyanophycean algae dominated, followed by diatoms
A Financial Analysis of Using Improved Planting Stock of White Spruce and Lodgepole Pine in Alberta, Canada: Genomic Selection Versus Traditional Breeding
Resource
Genomics-assisted tree breeding (GATB) is an emerging biotechnology method that has the potential to produce improved planting stock in selected traits, such as greater volume or higher wood quality...
A Hydrogeological Landscape Framework to Identify Peatland Wildfire Smouldering Hot Sports
Resource
Northern peatlands are important global carbon stores, but there is concern that these boreal peat reserves are at risk due to increased fire frequency and severity as predicted by climate change...
A Hydrogeological Landscape Framework to Identify Peatland Wildfire Smouldering Hot Spots
Resource
This study used a combination of field measurements and modelling to assess the vulnerability of peat to smouldering in the Utikuma Region Study Area, Alberta, Canada.
A Longitudinal Physico-chemical and Algal Survey of Five Rivers Flowing Through the AOSERP Study Area
Resource
Diatoms and blue-green algae dominated numericallyin five tributary rivers flowing into the Athabasca River except in the Hangingstone River where chlorophycean species replaced the latter group
A Regional-Scale Index for Assessing the Exposure of Drinking-Water Sources to Wildfires
Resource
Recent human-interface wildfires around the world have raised concerns regarding the reliability of freshwater supply flowing from severely burned watersheds. Degraded source water quality can often...
A Socioeconomic Evaluation of the Recreational Use of Fish and Wildlife Resources in Alberta, with Particular Reference to the AOSERP Study Area. Volume I: Summary and Conclusions
Resource
50,170 Albertans engaged in nonconsumptive fish and wildlife use in the AOSERP study area for a total of 83,393 recreation days during 1975-76.
A Study of Human Adjustment in Fort McMurray - Interim Report II
Resource
Overall objectives of this project are to identify and analyse various dimensions and aspects of the social and personal adjustment to current and past conditions of life in the study area.
A Study of Human Adjustment in Fort McMurray - Technical Manual
Resource
Data file contains coded responses for 430 interviews conducted by the Population Research Laboratory, University of Alberta during May and June of 1979
A Study of Human Adjustment in Fort McMurray - Volume I: Field Study and Results
Resource
From 1961 to 1979, there was an abrupt transition from the economy reliant on traditional activities such as hunting, trapping, fishing, and transportation to an industrial economy based on oil sands
A Synthesis of Three Decades of Eco-Hydrological Research at Scotty Creek, NWT, Canada
Resource
Scotty Creek, Northwest Territories (NWT), Canada, has been the focus of eco-hydrological research for nearly three decades. Over this period, field and modelling studies have generated new insights...
A Visual Guide to Handling Woody Materials for Forested Land Reclamation
Resource
Guide to answer: • Why has there been a shift in how we manage woody materials? • How can woody materials be managed effectively on sites? • What do effective woody material applications look like?
Accounting for Spatially Biased Sampling Effort in Presence-only Species Distribution Modelling
Resource
Results suggest that sample weighting can be used to account for spatially biased presence-only datasets in species distribution modelling
Adapting Monitoring to More Effectively Assess the Impacts of Climate Change on Alberta’s Biodiversity
Resource
Use of ABMI samples to understand genetic variation and changes in genetic structure is identified as an area where ABMI data can be used to understand how biodiversity is adapting to climate change
Advancing Understory Redevelopment in Forest Reclamation and the Role of Seedling Quality
Resource
The redevelopment of understories is an often-overlooked aspect of forest restoration following anthropogenic disturbances. In my research I explored the feasibility of actively restoring forest...
Alberta’s Natural Subregions Under a Changing Climate: Past, Present and Future
Resource
The Natural Regions and Subregions classification represents the state-of-the-art in ecological land classification in Alberta. This classification provides a valuable baseline for resource management...
