EFFECTS OF CLIMATE CHANGE, VEGETATION AND ROADS ON CARIBOU DISTRIBUTION IN WESTERN NORTH-AMERICA
DownloadFall 2017
Caribou (Rangifer tarandus) are a vital component of the cultural history and contemporary existence of First Nations and northern communities. However, caribou habitat is increasingly threatened by cumulative effects of climate change and land-use pressures from human settlement, forestry, and...
