The Grasslands National Park measures the abundance of Sprague's Pipit as a part of overall grassland bird point count surveys.

This dataset is a simplified version of water quality measurements taken in Aulavik 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 Thompson River annually in...

This dataset contains monitoring data for benthic invertebrate communities along the Thompson 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 Thompson River annually in early-July. The chemical composition of water...

This dataset is a count of Lemming nests in Aulavik National Park. The counts are done annually in mid-July at 9 predetermined sample locations 1 ha in size. Lemmings are an important herbivore and source of food for predators. Lemming populations often fluctuate dramatically, typically growing...

Fathom Five National Marine Park monitors trends and exceedances in water quality index by sampling for nutrients, major ions, and metals at twelve coastal wetland sites.

These fish-eating colonial waterbirds breed and nest in colonies on islands in and around Fathom Five National Marine Park. Five species of colonial waterbird are monitored. These birds and their eggs are effective measures of environmental contamination and aquatic ecosystem health.

This measure is based on snow-tracking data from established snow-transects. Trends for this metric focus on wary carnivores (cougar, lynx, wolf, and wolverine) on transects within 5 km of the Townsite. Data collected include location, species presence, number of animals, hours since snow, &...

Kootenay National Park samples 28 randomly selected potential amphibian breeding sites (out of possible 66) to determine presence or absence of amphibian species. Each of the 28 sites is visited 3 times every 2 years and all detected species are recorded.

Benthic macro-invertebrate diversity, stream hydrology, water chemistry, climate, geology, and landcover are collected using a standard protocol for the assessment of stream condition. The overall scope or aim of this measure is the use of a reference condition approach model capable of assessing...
