Characteristics of alpine plants and soils along an elevational gradient, Northern Selkirk Mountains, British Columbia
DownloadSpring 2019
Rates of climate change are accelerated at higher elevations, a pattern termed elevation-dependent warming (EDW). Consequently, the impacts of climate change on community patterning and soil development may be particularly evident in alpine environments. Alpine ecotone boundaries, such as...

Limnology of a Large Northern Lake (Lhù’ààn Mânʼ [Kluane Lake], Yukon) in an Era of Reconciliation and Rapid Climate Change
DownloadSpring 2022
Almost 60% of Canada’s freshwater drains North, where air temperatures are increasing at twice the global rate. Despite the exposure of northern lakes to higher rates of change and their ecological, hydrological, and cultural importance, baseline knowledge and monitoring of their water properties...

Population, individual and behavioural approaches to understanding the implications of habitat change for arctic ground squirrels
DownloadFall 2012
The ecological niche describes the entire set of resources and environmental conditions suitable for species to occur and persist. In northern ecosystems, rapid climate change appears to be altering these conditions and increasing the likelihood of shifts in distribution and abundance of species,...
