Many processes and functions in wetlands are driven by water quality, this measure can therefore determine the composition and health of wetland species. Point Pelee National Park collects several parameters to monitor water quality in the park wetlands such as turbidity, total suspended solids,...

Point Pelee National Park is the home to an isolated population of five-lined skink - the only lizard species found in eastern Canada. Monitoring involves overturning of logs and boards, and subsequent search for skinks. Dimensions of the cover object and its decay class are also recorded.

This dataset is a simplified version of water quality measurements taken in Tuktut Nogait National Park. It is a collection of measurements which make up two water quality indexes: Nutrients and Major Ions (NMI) Index and Metals Index. The measurements are taken along the Hornaday River annually...

This dataset contains monitoring data for benthic invertebrate communities along the Hornaday River Corridor. The raw data in this dataset is used to calculate benthic invertebrate richness and the percentage of Ephemeroptera (mayflies), Plecoptera (stoneflies), and Trichoptera (caddisflies)...

This dataset is a collection of measurements which make up two water quality indexes: Nutrients, Physical and Major Ions (NPMI) Index and Metals Index. The measurements are taken at two different locations along the Hornaday River annually in early-July. Project Rationale: Water quality is a...

Monitoring contaminants in gull and tern eggs is a useful tool for gaining insights into local environmental conditions because gulls and terns are integrators of processes occurring at lower levels in the food web and their eggs are generally formed using local food sources. Therefore, the...

Snowshoe hare are a keystone species of the boreal forest with a 9-10 year population cycle. Hare densities are positively correlated with other species and can have significant impacts on vegetation during portions of their cycle, and may affect plant survival and composition on a local level....

This bird monitoring program uses both traditional point counts and audio recordings to detect changes and trends in the relative abundance and community composition of a suite of forest bird species within Nahanni National Park Reserve. The intent of this study is to provide an early warning of...

Remote sensing is used to monitor changes to the fire regime - including area burned and fire frequency; this is on an ongoing measure.

The Torngat National Park monitors the growth and extent of dwarf birch along elevational transects at 5 locations to understand how shrubs are changing the tundra vegetation in the park and sub-arctic regions. Each transect contains 3 or 4 plots, at lower slope, mid slope, and upper slope....
