The Biophysical Climate Mitigation Potential of Boreal Peatlands During the Growing Season
Resource
Peatlands and forests cover large areas of the boreal biome and are critical for global climate regulation. They also regulate regional climate through heat and water vapour exchange with the...
The Boreal-Arctic Wetland and Lake Dataset
Resource
Here we present the Boreal–Arctic Wetland and Lake Dataset (BAWLD), a land cover dataset based on an expert assessment, extrapolated using random forest modelling from available spatial datasets of...
The Development and Reclamation Review Process
Resource
The Development and Reclamation Review process, as it currently operates, is presented and discussed with the aid of a flow chart. Suggestions are made to improve and expedite the process with...
The Distribution of Nutrients and Organic Matter in Native Mountain Grasslands and Reclaimed Coal-mined Areas in Southeastern B.C.
Resource
The study's purpose is to assess the nutrient self-sufficiency of five-year-old reclaimed areas in montane and subalpine environments. Adjacent, undisturbed native grasslands were also studied for...
The Effect of Freezing and Thawing on the Dewatering of Oil Sands Sludges
Resource
Oil sands processing operations in northeastern Alberta generate 25 x 106 m3 of water-fines mixtures (sludge) per year. The fines settle in several weeks but will not consolidate to more than 35%...
The Effects of Maternal Penning on the Movement Ecology of Mountain Caribou
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...
The Effects of Variable Retention Harvesting on Caribou Terrestrial Forage Lichens
Resource
Northern caribou depend on terrestrial lichens as a primary source of food during winter. This paper illustrates how changes in harvesting intensity affect terrestrial lichen abundance, species...
The Evolution of Reclamation Practice – from Complex to Simple
Resource
Reclamation practice is a function of public will expressed through either company policy or regulatory requirement and technical capability. Many of the contradictions and conflicts which appear in...
The Factors Influencing Cone Penetration Resistance as a Measure of Compaction in Minespoils
Resource
Cone penetration resistence as a measure of compaction was used to evaluate minespoils from the Luscar geological formation of the Alberta Rocky Mountain Foothills across the plant available moisture...

The Importance of Geology, Climate and Anthropogenic Disturbances in Shaping Boreal Wetland and Aquatic Landscape Types
Resource
This study quantified the distribution of wetland and aquatic wildlife-habitat landscape types in boreal Quebec and determined how wildlife habitats vary among climatic regimes and landforms.
The Influence of Uranium Mine Tailings on Tree Growth at Elliot Lake, Ontario
Resource
A four year study has been carried out to determine the ability of coniferous trees to aid in the reclamation of uranium tailings at Elliot Lake. Five species were planted: white cedar, white spruce...
The Interaction of Groundwater and Surface Materials in Mine Reclamation
Resource
Ground water conditions are frequently overlooked when placing surface materials in a mine reclamation scheme. The purpose of this paper is to outline the interaction between the surface materials and...
The Reclamation and Management of Garbage Dumps and Gravel Pits in Alberta
Resource
Through the development of two Department of Environment programs; namely, the Regional Landfill Program and the H.S.T.F. Land Reclamation Program and the enactment of the Sand and Gravel regulations...
The Selection and Utilization of Native Grasses for Reclamation in the Rock Mountains of Alberta
Resource
Native grass species have adapted to the prevailing climatic and soil conditions of Alberta's Rocky Mountains through many years of natural selection. It is generally accepted that disturbed areas in...
The Spatial Patterns of Anthropogenic Disturbance in the Western Canadian Boreal Forest Following Oil and Gas Development
Resource
Resource development can have significant consequences for the distribution of vegetation cover and for species persistence. Modelling changes to anthropogenic disturbance regimes over time can...
