This final report contains results from a 5-year project that compared areas with documented caribou use, forest harvesting, and wildfires. It is studied fine-scale site characteristics relevant to government and industry management decisions, across a broad geographic scope to allow for the results to be generalizable for Alberta caribou herds.
The topics of this report are:
- Stand characteristics of areas with documented use by woodland caribou
- Comparing harvest, wildfire, and caribou-use sites
- Assessment of harvest and wildfire sites for the ability to produce future woodland caribou habitat
- Synthesis, recommendations, and applications
