A Riparian Classification and Reclamation Guide (‘Riparian Guide’) was recently produced to direct the re-establishment of riparian ecosystems in areas disturbed by oil sands mining in Alberta, Canada
Resource
This report discusses and illustrates how the risk and uncertainty introduced by climate change can be incorporated into reclamation planning. Two approaches to reclamation planning are described.
