Collaboratively Forecasting Landscape Change and Population Dynamics of Barren-ground Caribou
Barren-ground caribou, an ecologically and culturally important species in northern Canada, have been in decline and are threatened in the Northwest Territories (NWT). To improve capacity to explore drivers of caribou declines and test management strategies, the ALCES simulation platform was applied to develop a decision-support tool for five central barren-ground caribou (CBGC) herds (i.e., […]
Riding Mountain National Park Vegetation Modelling
Suppression of fire and extirpation of bison have allowed forest to encroach on grassland, and maintenance of grassland is an important management priority for the park. The ALCES Flow landscape simulator was applied to explore fire and vegetation dynamics in the park in order to inform future management actions such as the use of prescribed fire.
