She\u2019s researching  why deer are invading the boreal.\n<\/p>\n<p><b><br \/>\nKIM DAWE:   <\/b> <em>Two of the main working hypotheses are that land use is increasing the amount of food on the landscape for deer,   And so you get agriculture, which is high quality and abundant food.  You get forestry cutblocks which provide good food at certain parts of the regrowth stages.  And then the energy sector has lines going through the bush, again through regrowth. Alternatively,  they lose a lot of energy just moving through deep snow, and therma-regulating from cold temperatures.  And so, if climate is changing  in terms of less snow, warmer temperatures, and shorter winters, then  that leads us to a climate change hypothesis<br \/>\n<\/em>\n<\/p>\n<p>\nAccording to Kim Dawe, the invasion of whitetail deer into the boreal forest poses a huge threat to woodland caribou.  That\u2019s because where deer go, wolves follow.  And wolves eat caribou, too.\n<\/p>\n<p><em><br \/>\nThanks today to the <b>NSERC-ACR Industrial Chair in Integrated Landscape Management<\/em>\n <\/p>\n<p>\nFOR INNOVATION ANTHOLOGY<br \/>\nI\u2019M CHERYL CROUCHER<br \/>\n<\/b><\/p>\n<h2>Guest<\/h2>\n<h3> , <\/h3>\n<h4>, , , , <\/h4>\n<h2>Sponsor<\/h2>\n<h3><a href=\"http:\/\/www.biology.ualberta.ca\/faculty\/stan_boutin\/ilm2\/\">NSERC Industrial Research Chair in Integrated Landscape Management<\/a><\/h3>\n<p>The <b>Integrated Landscape Management Chair<\/b> is developing a toolkit for ecologically informed land use planning.

The models do this by linking human actions to indicators of ecological, economic, and social condition. They are constrained by their ability to adequately represent the dynamics of complex systems, and our current research emphasis aims to reduce the uncertainties over the impacts of invasive organisms on species at risk in Canadas boreal forest.<\/p>\n<p>The <B>ILM Chair<\/b> is an initiative of the Department of Biological Sciences at the University of Alberta, with sponsors and collaborators in academia, government, and the private sector.<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/innovationanthology.com\/uploads\/ILM_Logo2.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Program Date:<\/strong>\u00a02010-04-29<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Over the last few decades, <b>whitetail deer<\/b> have expanded their range into the boreal forest.
