Seismic lines are the dominant anthropogenic disturbance in the boreal forest of the Canadian province of Alberta, fragmenting over 1900 km2 of peatland areas and accounting for...

Hydrological systems across the globe are increasingly subjected to pressures from a warming climate and anthropogenic disturbance. Responses to stress can be nonlinear and...

In the April 2019 issue, Liggio et al. published an analysis that utilized CO2 emission estimates obtained from aircraft flight studies carried out in the Athabasca Oil Sands...

Complexity of addressing cumulative effects that vary in space and time, especially for species occupying large ranges, makes conservation and recovery of populations difficult....

Geographic inequalities in water distribution can lead to relatively small regions driving or buffering changes in water availability in major watersheds. This research provides...

This is the second technical report from the multistakeholder WaterSHED water quality monitoring program of North Saskatchewan River Basin tributaries. The report includes a...

Multiple stressors resulting from anthropogenic actions are increasingly recognized as a major threat to aquatic ecosystems. In general, ecosystems change as they respond to...

Boreal wetlands within the oil sands region of Alberta, Canada, are subject to natural and anthropogenic pressures, resulting in the need for monitoring these sensitive...

Understanding the land surface temperature (LST) trends is crucial for policymakers and stakeholders to develop adaptation and mitigation strategies suitable for a sustainable...

The GsGd lineage (A/goose/Guangdong/1/1996) H5N1 virus was introduced to Canada in 2021/2022 through the Atlantic and East Asia-Australasia/Pacific flyways by migratory birds....

Timing of seasonal bird migrations is broadly determined by internal biological clocks, which are synchronized by photoperiod, but individuals often refine their migratory...

Migration is a behavioral strategy used by many ungulates to access resources and avoid predation in heterogenous landscapes. If migratory individuals access higher quality...

Study region Alberta province, Canada Study focus The global average surface temperature has continuously warmed at an unprecedentedly rapid rate since the mid-20th century....

Objective Nonnative fish invasions have had widespread impacts on freshwater ecosystems, including effects on native fish biodiversity and persistence. Brook Trout Salvelinus...

Habitat selection is critical to informing wildlife management and conservation. However, different behaviors require the use of different habitat components. Not considering...

Purpose Accelerated soil erosion poses a global hazard to soil health. Understanding soil and sediment behaviour through sediment fingerprinting enables the monitoring and...

Fine particulate matter (PM2.5) concentrations in Red Deer, Alberta, Canada, exceeded the national Canadian Ambient Air Quality Standards (CAAQS) for 2011–2013. In response, a...

Spatiotemporal changes in land surface temperature (LST) over South Asia were estimated using MODIS (moderate resolution imaging spectroradiometer) data from 2000 to 2021. We...

We found that a winter of abnormally low snowfall and numerous dust storms from eolian processes acting on exposed landscapes (including a major 4-day dust storm while onsite in...

Mountaintop removal coal mining is a source of downstream pollution. Here, we show that mountaintop removal coal mining also pollutes ecosystems downwind. We sampled regional...
