Minimizing Losses to Armillaria Root Rot in Ontario Spruce
Resource
Armillaria root rot is the most widespread and destructive root disease of trees in Ontario. The main species found within the province is Armillaria ostoyae [Romagnesi| Kerink (Dumas 1988) which...
Minimizing Losses to Tomentosus Root Rot in Ontario
Resource
Tomentosus root rot is one of three major pathogens discussed in greater detail in The Hidden Enemy (Whitney 1988). This technical note presents a practical summary of this and other publications for...
Minimum Reclamation Requirements for Public and Private Lands in Alberta
Resource
These are the minimum requirements that the Land Conservation and Reclamation Council will apply in assessing whether the reclamation of lands has been satisfactory
Minimum Reclamation Standards for Patented Land
Resource
Minimum reclamation standards that should be followed to ensure proper conservation and reclamation on patented and and land that was the property of the Crown but covered by the Public Lands Act
Mitigating the Effects of Insect Outbreaks for Sustainable Forest Management
Resource
Insect outbreaks are natural and recurring disturbances that have a greater impact on wood-fibre supply than wildfires. Proactive rather than reactive management strategies provide the best...
Mixing Characteristics of the Athabasca River Below Fort McMurray – Winter Conditions
Resource
Comprehensive assessment of mixing characteristics of the Athabasca River below Fort McMurray under ice-covered flow conditions. Two tracer tests conducted and analysed using recent theoretical models
Model-based, Volume-to-biomass Conversion for Forested and Vegetated Land in Canada
Resource
The demand for forest biomass information has increased substantially in recent years, and, in response, new models have been developed to estimate biomass of forest stands and the more common...
Modeling Climatic Influences on Three Parasitoids of Low-Density Spruce Budworm Populations
Resource
Despite their importance as mortality factors of many insects, the detailed biology and ecology of parasitoids often remain unknown. To gain insights into the spatiotemporal biology of insect...
Modelling the Circulation and Sediment Distribution in the Athabasca Delta Area
Resource
Potential for using satellite imagery to determine water quality parameters in the southwest end of Lake Athabasca and provide a mathematical model capable of simulating the circulation patterns
Monitoring Air Quality with Lichen: A Feasibility Study
Resource
Study to determine the scientific, technical and economic feasibility of establishing air pollution effect gradients using lichenological methods on a radially arranged pattern of observation sites
Monitoring Avian Productivity and Survivorship in the Oil Sands Region of Northeastern Alberta
Resource
The MAPS protocol (Monitoring Avian Productivity and Survivorship) was applied in a 2011 pilot program in the boreal forest in the oil sands region
Monitoring Ecological Recovery of Reclaimed Wellsites: Protocols for Quantifying Recovery on Forested Lands
Resource
We developed a scientifically robust and financially sustainable monitoring protocol to enable a consistent assessment of ecological recovery at reclaimed industrial wellsites in forested lands
Monitoring Forest Change in Landscapes Under-going Rapid Energy Development: Challenges and New Perspectives
Resource
The accelerated development of energy resources around the world has substantially increased forest change related to oil and gas activities. In some cases, oil and gas activities are the primary...
Monitoring Procedures for Wellsite, In-Situ Oil Sands and Coal Mine Reclamation in Alberta – December 2014 Update
Resource
Scope of the project is to develop a geomatics-based monitoring system to support the Government of Alberta’s efforts for monitoring reclamation success. Software will support decision making process
Monitoring Wetland Vegetation and Reclamation Across Space and Time
Resource
Measuring variability in natural processes requires rigorous data collection and could increase the cost of environmental monitoring for oil and gas operators. Recent advances in remote-sensing and...
Moose and Predator Numerical Responses to Anthropogenic Features in the Alberta Oil Sands Region
Resource
Landscape disturbance is typically synonymous with habitat loss and fragmentation, and subsequent biodiversity loss. However, the effects of landscape disturbance vary among species and disturbance...
Moose, Caribou, and Fire: Have We Got it Right Yet?
Resource
Natural disturbance plays a key role in shaping community dynamics. Within Canadian boreal forests, the dominant form of natural disturbance is fire, and its effects are thought to influence the...
Moose Lake Access Management Plan
Resource
This plan provides land-use resource development direction for industry and regulators for the Moose Lake 10km zone, a planning area located approximately 100 kilometers northwest of Fort McMurray in...
