Application of Artificial Substrate Samplers to Assess Enrichment of Metals of Concern by River Floodwaters to Lakes Across the Peace-Athabasca Delta
Resource
Potential for downstream delivery of contaminants via Athabasca River floodwaters to lakes of the PAD has raised local to international concern. Here, we quantify enrichment of eight metals (Be, Cd...
Assessing Pathogen Prevalence and the Health of Ungulates in West-central Alberta Caribou Ranges
Project
Contact
This project will gather data on the disease and parasites carried by moose, deer, and elk to determine the risk of transmission to caribou. Land managers need to know the threats faced by caribou in...
Assessing the Health-fitness Dynamics of Endangered Mountain Caribou and the Influence of Maternal Penning
Resource
Abstract The health of wildlife plays a crucial role in population demography by connecting habitat and physiology. Southern mountain caribou, a population of woodland caribou ( Rangifer tarandus...
Association of Environmental Factors with Seasonal Intensity of Erysipelothrix rhusiopathiae Seropositivity among Arctic Caribou
Resource
Several caribou ( Rangifer tarandus) populations have been declining concurrently with increases in infectious diseases in the Arctic. Erysipelothrix rhusiopathiae, a zoonotic bacterium, was first...
Automated Precise Seeding With Drones and Artificial Intelligence: A Workflow
Resource
Aerial seeding with drones has great potential in forest restoration but faces enormous challenges to be efficient and scalable. Current protocols use blanket seeding throughout the area to be...
Baseline States of Organic Constituents in the Athabasca River System Upstream of Fort McMurray
Resource
Investigations were carried out on the Athabasca River upstream of Fort McMurray to determine the baseline quantities of organic constituents and their contribution to the organic water quality
Bathurst Caribou Health Guide
Resource
Visual assessment of caribou health is very difficult. To better understand the current health status of Bathurst caribou, Kaitlyn Dornstauder, a University of Calgary Veterinary student working in...
Behaviour and Calving Success of Boreal Caribou in Relation to Oil and Gas Development
Resource
Anthropogenic disturbance like oil and gas development is thought to negatively affect boreal caribou through displacement and degradation of habitat, and through creation of favourable conditions for...
Behaviour is More Important Than Thermal Performance for an Arctic Host–parasite System Under Climate Change
Resource
An academic paper reporting on combined experimentation and modeling to try to assess the effects of climate change on a common caribou/reindeer gut parasite.
Beyond Fill and Spill: Hydrological Connectivity in a Sub-Arctic Bog-Fen-Tributary Complex in the Hudson Bay Lowlands, Canada
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...
Carbon Gas Exchange, Primary Production and Litter Decomposition of a Restored Fen on a Former Well-Pad
Resource
Over 500,000 oil and gas wells have been drilled in Alberta. Recently updated peatland restoration criteria for well-pads creates incentive for peatland restoration, but little is known about...
Carbon Stocks and Fluxes From a Boreal Conifer Swamp: Filling a Knowledge Gap for Understanding the Boreal C Cycle
Resource
The carbon (C) dynamics of boreal coniferous swamps are a largely understudied component of wetland carbon cycling. We investigated the above- and below-ground carbon stocks and growing season carbon...
Caribou Conservation Through Better Cutblock Design
Project
Contact
Organization:
Beginning in 2018, this project will investigate how cutblock design can be less favourable for deer, moose, and elk. Converting old forest to early seral stands through forest harvesting turns good...
Caribou Conservation Through Better Cutblock Design: Year 1 Update
Resource
This 2-page briefing note provides a quick Year 1 update on a Caribou Program project undertaken by fRI Research, which aims to provide information on forest management that could limit habitat for...
