Burrowing Owl Climate Change Adaptation Plan for Alberta
Resource
This report is intended to provide some adaptation strategies that are focused on management of Burrowing Owls in the face of a changing climate.
Caribou and Reindeer Migrations in the Changing Arctic
Resource
Caribou and reindeer, Rangifer tarandus, are the most numerous and socio-ecologically important terrestrial species in the Arctic. Their migrations are directly and indirectly affected by the seasonal...
Climate Change Vulnerability of Alberta Species
Resource
Vulnerability to climate change of more than 170 of Alberta’s native species is assessed on the basis of exposure and sensitivity to change
Climate Change Vulnerability of Alberta’s Terrestrial Biodiversity: A Preliminary Assessment
Resource
This report provides a broad overview of how Alberta species are likely to be affected by climate change by the 2050s. Amphibians were consistently found to be the most vulnerable to climate change
Collaborative Landscape Data to Support Woodland Caribou Recovery Planning in Northwestern Alberta
Resource
We collected high-resolution aerial imagery and associated ground-truthed data from four sampling blocks in two caribou ranges to assess human footprint accuracy and state of vegetation recovery.
Collaborative research and monitoring of migratory Eastern Cape Chruchill caribou
Project
Organization:
The Cape Churchill caribou herd, part of the Eastern Migratory caribou population, resides along the western coast of Hudson Bay and has been largely unstudied. However, they are locally important to...
Columbia Mountains Caribou Research Project
Project
Contact
Organization:
Project Description: Beginning in 2003, moose populations were intentionally reduced by increased hunting pressure as an indirect way of reducing wolf numbers — fewer moose on the landscape means...
Comparing Deep Learning and Shallow Learning for Large-Scale Wetland Classification in Alberta, Canada
Resource
Developed two wetland inventory style products for a large (397,958 km2) area in the Boreal Forest region of Alberta, Canada, using Sentinel-1, Sentinel-2, and ALOS DEM data
Comparison of Sampling Techniques to Monitor Stream Amphibian Communities in Forested Regions of Alberta
Resource
Objective was to compare the effectiveness of four commonly used sampling techniques (pitfall traps, funnel traps, visual searches and call surveys) to detect stream amphibian communities.
Conserving Alberta’s Biodiversity Under Climate Change: A Review and Analysis of Adaptation Measures
Resource
Although ecological transitions are expected to be widespread, under even the least-change climate scenario, ecological change is not synonymous with the loss of biodiversity.
Continental Synchrony and Local Responses: Climatic Effects on Spatiotemporal Patterns of Calving in a Social Ungulate
Resource
Warming temperatures and advancing spring are affecting annual snow and ice cycles, as well as plant phenology, across the Arctic and boreal regions. These changes may be linked to observed population...
Corridors or Risk? Movement Along, and Use of, Linear Features Vary Predictably Among Large Mammal Predator and Prey Species
Resource
The objective of this study is to evaluate wolf, black bear, moose and caribou responses to anthropogenic linear features, attempting to determine whether these features are perceived as movement...
Creating a Detailed Wetland Inventory with Sentinel-2 Time-Series Data and Google Earth Engine in the Prairie Pothole Region of Canada
Resource
Wetlands in the Prairie Pothole Region (PPR) of Canada and the United States represent a unique mapping challenge. They are dynamic both seasonally and year-to-year, are very small, and frequently...
Critical Summer Foraging Tradeoffs in a Subarctic Ungulate
Resource
Summer diets are crucial for large herbivores in the subarctic and are affected by weather, harassment from insects and a variety of environmental changes linked to climate. Yet, understanding...
Demographic Declines Over Time and Variable Responses of Breeding Bird Populations to Human Footprint in the Athabasca Oil Sands Region, Alberta, Canada
Resource
Habitat loss and disturbance from industrial resource development may be contributing to declines in boreal bird populations. We applied hierarchical multi-species models to data from 31 bird species...
Demographic Responses of a Threatened, Low-density Ungulate to Annual Variation in Meteorological and Phenological Conditions
Resource
Study highlights the increased relevance of recovery actions when adverse climatic conditions are likely to negatively affect caribou demography.
Developing Monitoring Protocols for Aquatic Ecosystems in Forested Regions of Alberta
Resource
This report is part of a larger endeavor to develop a monitoring program capable of detecting changes in the biological diversity of Alberta’s forested region.
Development of a Recovery Index to Quantify Ecological Recovery of Reclaimed Wellsites
Resource
Long-term monitoring of some sites would ultimately be needed to show that recovering wellsites are on a trajectory that consistently leads to full recovery.
