Hydrological Functioning of a Constructed Peatland Watershed in the Athabasca Oil Sands Region: Potential Trajectories and Lessons Learned
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...
Increasing Contributions of Peatlands to Boreal Evapotranspiration in a Warming Climate
Resource
The response of evapotranspiration (ET) to warming is of critical importance to the water and carbon cycle of the boreal biome, a mosaic of land cover types dominated by forests and peatlands. The...
Investigation of Microbial Community Response During Oil Sands Reclamation via Lipid and Carbon Isotope Analyses
Resource
In this study, phospholipid fatty acids (PLFA) and carbon isotopes were used to characterize the response of in situ microbial communities to a pilot-scale wetland reclamation project in the Alberta...
Large Scale Mapping of Soil Organic Carbon Concentration with 3D Machine Learning and Satellite Observations
Resource
Canada has extensive forests and peatlands that play key roles in global carbon cycle. Canadian soils and peatlands are assumed to store approximately 20% of the world’s soil carbon stock. However...
Lichens: A Limit to Peat Growth?
Resource
The fruticose lichens Cladina stellaris and Cladina rangiferina, form thick mats that can cover large areas of northern peatlands (above c. 50° latitude), including the extensive peatlands of the...
List of Reclamation Research Technical Advisory Committee Reports
Resource
This document provides the full list of reports published by the Reclamation Research Technical Advisory Committee from 1979 to 1994
Manual of Plant Species Suitability for Reclamation in Alberta: 2nd Edition
Resource
The manual includes information on forty-four grasses, fourteen forbs and thirty-five trees and shrubs. The summary, presented in tabular form, provides, for key reclamation parameters,
Mapping and Characterization of Cutover Peatlands
Resource
Methodology for cost-effective soil survey and sampling of cutover peatlands, and obtaining baseline chemical information and data interpretation for peat materials to examine reclamation alternatives

Multi-year Assessment of Water and Energy Exchange From an Oil Sands Reclamation Cover, Fort McMurray, Canada
Resource
In most years, evaporation exceeds summer rainfall. Using natural aspen stands as a comparison, it is expected that water use from the soil cover will continue to increase as the ecosystem ages.
Mycorrhizal Studies Regarding the Reclamation of Oil Sand Tailings: Production and Outplanting of Jack Pine Seedlings and Amounts of VA- and Ectomycorrhizal Inoculum in Stockpiled Peat
Resource
Produce mycorrhizal jack pine seedlings in the greenhouse and initiate a field study on the Syncrude dyke on the effect of different ectomycorrhizal fungi on the growth of jack pine
Native Legumes for Reclamation in Alberta
Resource
4-year project to collect, multiply, evaluate, and select native legume species for inclusion in a native seed mixture being developed at AEC for reclamation in the mountains and foothills
Native Plant Invasion into Reclaimed Oil Sands Mine Sites
Resource
Slightly more invasion occurred on oil sands tailings sand sites seeded to native grasses and legumes, but much more invasion occurred on non-seeded sites
OIl Sands Sludge Dewatering by Freeze-Thaw and Evapotranspiration
Resource
The experiments detailed in this report show that it was possible to increase the solids content of sludge to 50% solids by adding three parts sand (tailings sand) to one part sludge.
Oil Sands Soil Reconstruction Project Five Year Summary
Resource
Treatment plots were established on the Syncrude mine site to test the effect of a variety of mixtures of peat, mineral overburden, and tailings sand on establishment of trees and shrubs
