Recent Climate Change has Driven Divergent Hydrological Shifts in High-latitude Peatlands
Resource
High-latitude peatlands are changing rapidly in response to climate change, including permafrost thaw. Here, we reconstruct hydrological conditions since the seventeenth century using testate amoeba...
Reclamation and Vegetation of Surface Mined Areas in the Athabasca Tar Sands
Resource
Field trial on an already vegetated area on the GCOS tailings pond dike, to determine responses of the already established vegetative cover to different fertility levels, and fate of added fertilizer
Reclamation of an Eroded Lakeshore Slope Using Small Vegetation Islands and Terraces
Resource
Bioengineering approaches to slope stabilization involve biological and mechanical methods with low impact on the environment and landscape. Slope stabilization using vegetation patches or islands can...
Reconstructed Soils in Alberta Oil Sands Limit Fine Root Growth of Trees
Resource
Tailings sand sites: fine root biomass decreased with depth and proximity to the textural interface. Overburden sites: fine root biomass decreased abruptly at the textural interface and EC increased
Regional Habitat Needs of a Nationally Listed Species, Canada Warbler (Cardellina canadensis), in Alberta, Canada
Resource
Understanding factors that affect the distribution and abundance of species is critical to developing effective management plans for conservation. Our goal was to quantify the distribution and...
Relationships between Rangifer and Indigenous Well-being in the North American Arctic and Subarctic: A Review Based on the Academic Published Literature
Resource
This resource is available on an external database and may require a paid subscription to access it. It is included on the CCLM to support our goal of capturing and sharing the breadth of all...
Relative Importance for Lincoln’s Sparrow (Melospiza lincolnii) Occupancy of Vegetation Type versus Noise Caused by Industrial Development
Resource
Anthropogenic noise can create an acoustic environment detrimental for animals that communicate using acoustic signals. Currently, most studies of noise and wildlife come from traffic noise in cities...
Removing the Wellsite Footprint: Recommended Practices for Construction and Reclamation of Wellsites on Upland Forests in Boreal Alberta
Resource
Wellsite reclamation criteria in Alberta have historically been based on a paradigm of returning land to equivalent land capability. Unfortunately, this paradigm has treated all landscapes as...
Replacing Natural Wetlands with Stormwater Management Facilities: Biophysical and Perceived Social Values
Resource
This resource is available on an external database and may require a paid subscription to access it. It is included on the CCLM to support our goal of capturing and sharing the breadth of all...
Reserve Design under Climate Change: From Land Facets Back to Ecosystem Representation
Resource
Our climate envelope projections for the 2080s indicate that virtually all reserves will, in time, be comprised of different ecosystem types than today.

Organization
Forest dynamics in the Boreal are largely influenced by natural disturbances, in particular wildfire. Consequently, the use of post-disturbance patterns for forest management has been proposed as...
Revegetation of Fen Peatlands Following Oil and Gas Extraction in Northern Alberta
Resource
A field experiment from 2012 to 2013 at two locations in northeastern Alberta examined the short-term success of different fen revegetation strategies following the removal of infrastructure (road and...
Review of Health Effects of Naphthenic Acids: Data Gaps and Implications for Understanding Human Health Risk
Resource
A review of literature was undertaken as a first step in framing potential human health risk associated with exposure to OSPW-derived naphthenic acids in surface water
Rusty Blackbird (Euphagus carolinus ) Population and Distribution Data in the Athabasca and Cold Lake Oil Sands Regions of Alberta using Automated Recording Units (ARUs)
Resource
The Rusty Blackbird ( Euphagus carolinus ) was listed as Special Concern on Schedule 1 of the federal Species at Risk Act in March 2009 because of large and longterm declines in population size. The...
Sampling, Handling, and Preparation of Peat Cores From Bogs: Review of Recent Progress and Perspectives for Trace Element Research
Resource
Peat bogs are valuable archives of environmental change, including climate history, landscape evolution, and atmospheric deposition of trace elements, fallout radionuclides, and organic contaminants...
Saving Endangered Species Using Adaptive Management
Resource
Adaptive management is a powerful means of learning about complex ecosystems, but is rarely used for recovering endangered species. Here, we demonstrate how it can benefit woodland caribou, which...
Seed Collection Guide for Six Boreal Plants Important to Indigenous Peoples
Resource
This publication is intended to be a source for plant identification and seed collection and is available to all who wish to use it. We aimed to make the information in this guide illustrative for...
