Wildfire impacts to soil in Alberta’s southern Rocky Mountains: pyrogenic carbon abundance and character on a post-wildfire landscape
DownloadFall 2023
Pyrogenic carbon (PyC) is a ubiquitous soil constituent produced as a result of wildland and anthropogenic fire. The dynamic nature of wildfire produces heterogenous chemical by-products in a broad range of sizes and chemical makeup, from lighter soots to heavier charcoals. A large component of...

Wildfires and climate change: their effects on moose (Alces alces) and white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) winter habitat in the boreal mixedwoods of Alberta, Canada
DownloadFall 2021
Understanding how species respond to wildfires and climate change is fundamental for land use management and biodiversity conservation. Wildfires provide generalist ungulates, such as moose (Alces alces) and white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus), with high quantity and quality of winter...
