\nAn invasion has quietly occurred in the forest of northeastern Alberta. The invaders are whitetail deer. <\/b>\n<\/p>\n

\nAnd in ten short years, their arrival has had a devastating impact on woodland caribou.<\/b> That\u2019s because deer go into the northern peatlands where caribou live. And wherever deer go, wolves <\/b>are not far behind. As a result, caribou are no longer safe and their numbers are dropping.\n<\/p>\n

\nWhy deer are spreading into the peatlands is a concern for Dr. Stan Boutin. <\/b> He holds the Research Chair in Integrated Landscape Management <\/b>at the University of Alberta.\n<\/p>\n


\nDR. STAN BOUTIN: <\/b> One might be that climate is changing, The second one is that industrial activity are creating forest cover types that are good for deer. And that\u2019s usually young, scrubby, more open type of vegetation. And that change then leads to the deer expanding into areas The third one is, we\u2019re simply seeing the species expand their range out of core habitat. And good habitat in Alberta for whitetail deer is this interface between the agriculture and woodlots and that. And so its actually agriculture that is quite an important driver. <\/em>\n<\/p>\n

NSERC Industrial Research Chair in Integrated Landscape Management<\/a><\/h3>\n

The Integrated Landscape Management Chair<\/b> is developing a toolkit for ecologically informed land use planning. At the heart of this toolkit is a suite of models capable of integrating multiple land use activities over large areas and long time scales to explore the future impacts of todays land use decisions. 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

The 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.
