Billion Dollar Boreal Woodland Caribou and the Biodiversity Impacts of the Global Oil and Gas Industry
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...
Biochar Application for Revegetation Purposes in Northern Saskatchewan
Resource
Our research was focused on biochar application for revegetation purposes under northern Saskatchewan conditions. The Gunnar Mine Site, located on the northern shore of the Athabasca Lake, was used as...
Biodiversity Offsets and Caribou Conservation in Alberta: Opportunities and Challenges
Resource
We conclude that a number of actions to offset impacts of development and achieve no net loss or net positive impact for caribou are theoretically feasible (i.e., if implemented they should work), including habitat restoration and manipulations of the large mammal predator-prey system. However, implementation challenges are substantial and include a lack of mechanisms for setting aside some resources for long periods of time, public opposition to predator control, and uncertainty associated with loss-gain calculations.
Biodiversity Outcomes of Land Management Choices in Alberta’s Agricultural Lands
Resource
This proof of concept assessment helps understand better market opportunities associated with biodiversity management in Alberta’s agricultural lands. Land management can increase biodiversity.
Bioengineering and Conventional Erosion and Sediment Control Solutions for Oil Sands Operations
Resource
This report, prepared by Associated Environmental (Associated) on behalf of Canada's Oil Sands Innovation Alliance (COSIA), documents the benefits and limitations of bioengineering and conventional...
Bioengineering Techniques for Revegetation of Riparian Areas at the Colomac Mine, NWT
Resource
Factors such as nutrient poor soils, harsh climate, remote locations, and high costs make revegetating disturbed areas in northern environments a challenge. We present a case study where novel...
Bioengineering. The Use of Plant Biomass to Stabilize and Reclaim Highly Disturbed Sites
Resource
The bioengineering concept of reclamation developed in Europe is now becoming well established internationally with successful projects in Japan, Korea, New Zealand, Rhodesia, South Africa, Venezuela...
Biogeochemical Response to Vegetation and Hydrologic Change in an Alaskan Boreal Fen Ecosystem
Resource
Boreal peatlands store approximately one third of the earth’s terrestrial carbon, locked away in currently waterlogged and frozen conditions. Peatlands of boreal and arctic ecosystems are affected...
Biological Soil Crusts and Native Species for Northern Mine Site Restoration
Resource
The nitrogen cycle is highly sensitive to pollutants and restoration of this biogeochemical pathway is essential to ensure long-term sustainable ecosystems. In a greenhouse trial, the growth and...
Biomagnification of Perfluorinated Compounds in a Remote Terrestrial Food Chain: Lichen-Caribou-Wolf
Resource
The biomagnification behavior of perfluorinated carboxylates (PFCAs) and perfluorinated sulfonates (PFSAs) was studied in terrestrial food webs consisting of lichen and plants, caribou, and wolves...
Biomass and Root Stem Production of a Colony-forming Willow (Salix interior) on Highly Disturbed, Low Fertility Sites
Resource
This study describes biomass production, colony formation, and clonal spread via root stems of a wide-ranging North American willow species, Salix interior (INT), one of the few willows that can...
Biomass Estimates for Major Boreal Forest Species in West-Central Canada
Resource
Forest biomass is the second-largest renewable energy resource in Canada, representing a major pool in the global carbon budget, but better estimates of forest biomass are needed. In the 1980s...
Biomonitoring for the Effects of Air Pollution in the AOSERP Study Area. Report of a Workshop
Resource
Workshop to provide guidance to AOSERP concerning the establishment of a system to biologically monitor the effects of air pollution.
Biophysical Determinants of Shifting Tundra Vegetation Productivity in the Beaufort Delta Region of Canada
Resource
Temperature increases across the circumpolar north have driven rapid increases in vegetation productivity, often described as ‘greening’. These changes have been widespread, but spatial variation in...
Biotic Interactions Govern the Distribution of Coexisting Ungulates in the Arctic Archipelago – A Case for Conservation Planning
Resource
An academic paper looking at what might best predict habitat for Peary caribou and muskox in the Canadian Arctic Archipelago. the paper models what it considers likely key habitat for both species in...
