Modeled Production, Oxidation, and Transport Processes of Wetland Methane Emissions in Temperate, Boreal, and Arctic Regions
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...
Moss Cellulose 18O Applied to Reconstruct Past Changes in Water Balance of a Boreal Wetland Complex, Northeastern Alberta
Resource
Overall, the study established existence of long-term groundwater source areas around the margins of the peatland, as well as contemporary permafrost thaw zones within the McClelland Wetland itself.
Nutrition Integrates Environmental Responses of Ungulates
Resource
1. Nutrition influences most aspects of animal ecology: juvenile growth rates and adult mass gain, body condition, probability of pregnancy, over-winter survival, timing of parturition, and neonatal...
Oil Sands Rec1amation – An Overview of Suncor’s Program
Resource
Commercial production of synthetic crude oil from the Athabasca Oil Sands began in 1967 in north-eastern Alberta. Suncor Inc., then known as Great Canadian Oil Sands Ltd., began the development of...
Paleolimnological Assessment of Past Hydro-ecological Variation at a Shallow Hardwater Lake in the Athabasca Oil Sands Region Before Potential Onset of Industrial Development
Resource
Effective environmental monitoring requires knowledge of inherent natural variation. In the absence of pre-development monitoring of aquatic ecosystems, paleolimnological approaches have been...
Population Structure and Hybridization of Alaskan Caribou and Reindeer: Integrating Genetics and Local Knowledge
Project
Organization:
This PhD project is an interdisciplinary study. The researcher used interviews with herders and hunters, local observations, and genetic analysis to understand how historical processes influence...
Population Structure and Hybridization of Alaskan Caribou and Reindeer: Integrating Genetics and Local Knowledge
Resource
Abstract Alaskan caribou ( Rangifer tarandus granti) are a valued game species and a key grazer in Alaska's terrestrial ecosystem. Caribou herds, defined by female fidelity to calving grounds, are...
Rapid Transformation of Tundra Ecosystems From Ice-wedge Degradation
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...
Reindeer Lichen Transplant Feasibility for Reclamation of Lichen Ecosites on Alberta’s Athabasca Oil Sand Mines
Resource
This project is a pilot study to assess the viability of transplantation as a technique to establish reindeer lichens on reclaimed areas of oil sands surface mines in the Athabasca region of Alberta...
Revegetation of Tailings Sand Without a Soil Cover in the Alberta Oil Sands
Resource
Reclamation in the oil sands in Alberta is a high priority and can be challenging. Suncor Energy is in the process of reclaiming one of its consolidated tailings (CT) ponds (Pond 5). The CT is being...
Riparian Classification to Benchmark Reclamation of the Athabasca Oil Sands
Resource
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
Soluble Calcium and Sulphate Excesses Related to Stress in Pinus contorta on Peat Amendments of Reclaimed Landscapes in the Boreal Oil Sands Region
Resource
Results indicated a negative relationship among pine performance with increasing soluble calcium and available sulphate-S

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 Effect of Cover Crop Species on Growth and Yield Response of Tree Seedlings to Fertiliser and Soil Moisture on Reclaimed Sites
Resource
Comparatively the suppressive effect of barley was higher than that of oats probably due to a combination of vigorous growth and possible allelopathic effects.
The Study of Human-caribou Systems in the Face of Change: Using Multiple Disciplinary Lenses
Project
Organization:
This PhD project uses multiple disciplinary lenses to understand the dynamics of the social-ecological systems that are of critical importance to northern Indigenous Peoples of the Arctic. Barren...
The Study of Human-caribou Systems in the Face of Change: Using Multiple Disciplinary Lenses
Resource
Abstract Barren-ground caribou herds are part of social-ecological systems that are of critical importance to northern Indigenous Peoples of the Arctic, contributing to nutritional, cultural, and...
