Deeper Soil Salvaging Depths Produce Greater Cover of Native Plants than Shallow Salvage Depths on a Reclaimed Coal Mine Site
Resource
The deeper soil salvage depth (40 cm) was better than the shallow salvage depth (15 cm) at establishing a forest understory plant community characteristic of the boreal forest.
Defining Best Management Practices for Conservation of Reclamation Materials in the Mineable Oil Sands Region of Alberta
Resource
Task-group formed to define Best Management Practices (BMPs) for conservation of reclamation materials in the mineable oil sands region of Alberta; easier to define BMPs for salvage than replacement
Demand for Nonprovisioning Ecosystem Services as a Driver of Change in the Canadian Boreal Zone
Resource
The Canadian boreal zone provides ecosystem services from local to global scales. Either directly or indirectly, demands for these services have and will continue to serve as drivers of change in the...
Demographic Responses of a Threatened, Low-density Ungulate to Annual Variation in Meteorological and Phenological Conditions
Resource
Study highlights the increased relevance of recovery actions when adverse climatic conditions are likely to negatively affect caribou demography.
Deposition of Sulphur and its Influence on Soils in the AOSERP Study Area
Resource
Several field investigations were carried out to determine the amounts of sulphur deposited in rain, in rain washing off trees, and by direct absorption of SO2 by soil
Determining Sustainable Levels of Cumulative Effects for Boreal 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...
Development of a Toxin-Mediated Predator-Prey Model Applicable to Aquatic Environments in the Athabasca Oil Sands Region
Resource
Previous work has considered the effect of a toxin on the population dynamics of a single trophic level, such as fish, we focus on the impacts of toxins on the population dynamics of aquatic food webs
Development of an Extraction Method for Estimating Phytoaccessible Fractions of Bromacil and Tebuthiuron
Resource
Bromacil and tebuthiuron are herbicides used from the 1960s to 1990s on industrial sites to control vegetation. Approximately 61,750 sites are considered contaminated when comparing total herbicide...
Development of Soil Quality Criteria for Contaminated Site Remediation
Resource
There can be little argument that contaminants are now a ubiquitous presence in our environment. Though large-scale efforts to deal with contaminant issues have traditionally focused on water and air...
Dewatering Fine Tails by Evaporation: A Mathematical Modelling Approach
Resource
A one dimensional approach was used to model the evaporation process from fine tails. Understanding the complex interactions among the solids, water and external atmospheric demand is required
Differences in the Composition of Soils Under Open and Canopy Conditions at Two Sites Close-in to the Great Canadian Oil Sands Operation, Fort McMurray, Alberta
Resource
Soils sampled at sites 2.3 and 5.3 km south of the Great Canadian Oil Sands (GCOS) plant, Fort McMurray, respectively were found to differ statistically with reference to several macronutrients
Digging Into Canadian Soils - An Introduction to Soil Science
Resource
Written entirely by members of the Canadian Society of Soil Science, "Digging into Canadian Soils: An Introduction to Soil Science" provides an introduction to the core disciplines of soil science...
Disposal of Drilling Wastes in the Mountains
Resource
The foothills and mountain regions are extremely varied in soils, vegetation, climate and geology. Oil and gas drilling wastes must be contained ana then dispose □ of, despite of this extreme...
Distribution, Abundance and Habitat Associations of Beavers, Muskrats, Mink and River Otters in the AOSERP Study Area, Northeastern Alberta
Resource
Synthesis of the published literature on the habitat preferences of beavers, muskrats, mink and river otters. Field studies during the late autumn of 1978 included aerial surveys and track counts
Distribution and Abundance of Macrobenthos in the Athabasca River Near Fort McMurray
Resource
348 benthic macroinvertebrate samples collected at 16 sites along 85 km of the Athabasca River between Fort McMurray and the Ells River. total of 27229 specimens belonging to 68 taxonomic groups
Do Highway Rights-of-way Have to be Dull?
Resource
Highway rights-of-way in Alberta, and elsewhere, are dull because they consist of limited, non-native species mixes that are frequently mowed. These rights-of-way are therefore not much more exciting...
Domains of Scale in Cumulative Effects of Energy Sector Development on Boreal Birds
Resource
We estimated cumulative effects of energy sector development on distributions of sixteen migratory songbird species at multiple spatial scales within the boreal region of Alberta, Canada, and...
