Seismic lines are linear features created by the oil and gas industry for energy exploration.
Though individually narrow, collectively seismic lines are a pervasive management …

Seismic lines—narrow and straight corridors from which overstory has been removed to
allow access for oil and gas exploration—are a major human footprint in the boreal forest of …

Treed peatlands can exhibit dramatic shifts in woody plant cover when they are bisected by
roads, a product of change in the flow of surface and subsurface water; however, the edge …

Linear feature networks are the roads, trails, pipelines, and seismic lines developed
throughout many commercial boreal forests. These linear features, while providing access …

Across the western North American boreal region, networks of narrow clearings called
seismic lines from oil and gas exploration fragment forests. Restoration of seismic lines for …

Seismic lines are the dominant anthropogenic disturbance in the boreal forest of the
Canadian province of Alberta, fragmenting over 1900 km2 of peatland areas and accounting …

Seismic lines, which are narrow linear clearings used for hydrocarbon exploration, have
accumulated throughout Alberta's forest landscapes for decades. The inconsistent natural …

Habitat loss and disturbance from industrial resource development may be contributing to
declines in boreal bird populations. We applied hierarchical multi-species models to data …

Le réseau de structures linéaires est constitué de routes, de sentiers, de pipelines et de
lignes sismiques aménagés dans une grande partie de la forêt boréale commerciale. Ces …

This thesis examined the impact of wildland fires and seismic line fragmentation on
peatlands in northern Alberta. The objectives were to determine if wildland fires alter …
