Threats to Western Canadian oil output recede as wildfires under control, rail strike delayedWestern Canadian oil, NGLs and natural gas producers continued May 16 to monitor the situation as the the dual threats
may exert the most important control on forest albedo. However, a concerning finding is that although the canopy intercepts a significant percentage of snow, it does not prevent the albedo of the forest from decreasing93. Nevertheless, there is little consensus on this matter, ...
Given the increasing prevalence of wildfires, the strong linkages between wildfire and moose habitat, and the importance of moose to the people of the boreal region of North America, our goal was to assess if and how moose harvest patterns changed immediately following a wildfire. To address ...
While we are very aware that we are so fortunate to still have a job to go to every single day, seeing the product of our hard work go down the drain just hurts. I won’t sugar coat that. The farmers who will be asked to dispose of their milk will be compensated; it’s a loss...

Wildfires can range from lightly burned surface fires with no tree mortality, to fires that kill all trees and remove all or most of the soil litter layer (O horizon). As fire regimes around the world are affected by climate change (Flannigan et al., 2009; de Groot et al., 2013), ...
Droughts are accompanied not only by an increase in crop- destroying pests like grasshoppers, but also by wildfires that threaten homes, animals, and farm buildings (IPCC 2014). Climate vulnerability has been compounded by socio- economic and political sensitivities like rural depopulation, erosion ...
While USA wildfires are running higher the last couple of years, according to Canada’s National Forestry Database, the number of forest fires in Canada has been at the lowest since 1990. Of course, Canada takes a management approach to forests compared to the USA’s “let it be or ...
(warming water temperatures, longer open water seasons, extreme hydrological events, intensifying wildfires). Canadian rivers are especially important to the overall biogeochemistry, hydrology, biodiversity, and ultimate health of aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems. While each of Canada’s provinces and ...
In many higher risk locations, Canadian wildfire management agencies generally rely on the Initial Attack model where wildfires are detected early and suppressed small. The early detection and suppression of wildfires is critical to successful wildfire control resulting in fewer escaped wildfires, therefore...
