We developed maps of OLT and OLFL using machine learning approaches (weighted K-nearest neighbour and random forests) for the forested region of the province of Alberta, Canada (538, 058km 2 ). The random forests approach was found to be the best approach to model the spatial distribution ...
Rising atmospheric vapour pressure deficit (VPD) associated with climate change affects boreal forest growth via stomatal closure and soil dryness. However, the relationship between VPD and forest growth depends on the climatic context. Here we assess Ca
We investigated what predators were responsible for predating ducks nests in the western boreal forest of Alberta, Canada using camera traps on real and artificial nests. We identified 8 species of duck nest predators that ate or removed eggs from nests: American black bear (Ursus americanus), ...
A convoy of evacuees from Fort McMurray, Alberta drive past wildfires that are still burning out of control as they leave the city Saturday, May 7, 2016. The increasing frequency of wildfires in Canada’s boreal forest may be permanently changing one of the largest intact ecosystems left...
Canada's boreal forest: A province-by-province look at where our birds breed Quebec. Size of boreal forest: 1,200,000 km2. ... Northwest Territories. Size of boreal forest: 950,000 km2. ... Ontario. Size of boreal forest: 862,000 km2. ... ...
Ten temporary haul roads and landings in west-central Alberta were tilled with a winged subsoiler specifically designed for tilling compacted forest soils. Surface soil had been removed from all sites during construction, and spread over three of the four landings prior to tillage. Soil bulk density...
What are some endangered species in a temperate rainforest biome? What animals live in the Alberta boreal forest? What animals are endangered in Antarctica? What animals are in the boreal forest of Mongolia? What are the endangered species in the tropical rainforest biome?
Across the western boreal forest, in Alberta eastward to Manitoba, patterned fens are frequent, many of which are dominated by species of Scorpidium and have rich fen characteristics, but only a few have been examined in any detail (Slack et al. 1980; Vitt et al. 2024). To our ...
Is the Black Forest in Bavaria? What is another name for a deciduous forest? Are there any otters in temperate forests? Do tropical forests have seasonal rain? Is there biodiversity in temperate forests? What animals live in the Alberta boreal forest?
Across boreal Canada, forest productivity is anticipated to decrease in the west because of water stress, and increase north- eastward where temperature is currently the main factor limiting tree growth9–11. Such mechanisms have been raised as potential drivers of forest greening or browning in ...
