Resource
The Emend for Schools: 360° Video EMEND Tour Teachers Resource is a full lesson plan and 360 immersive and interactive video teaching tool, including a teacher lesson plan and student workbook aligned...
Emerging Issues – Land Degradation
Resource
Problems associated with soil degradation have, in some parts of Canada, reached crisis proportions. Combatting these problems is a complex task involving the consideration of social, economic, and...
Enhanced Revegetation and Reclamation of Oil Sands Disturbed Sites Using Actinorhizal and Mycorrhizal Biotechnology
Resource
Preliminary results, after two growth seasons, show promise in the use of pre-inoculated seedlings in enhancing growth and establishment of alders and conifers on oil sands reclamation sites.
Establishment and Vegetation Survey of 16 Pinus banksiana-dominated Permanent Plots for the Athabasca Oil Sands Ecological Monitoring Project in 1981
Resource
16 undisturbed, 5-ha, permanent plots dominated by Pinus banksiana (jack pine) were established along an impingement gradient of atmospheric emissions from oil sands processing plants
Estimate of the Maximum Probable Precipitation for Alberta River Basins
Resource
Point measurements of maximum depth showed that over 50% of the rainstorms occur in June and July, with only a small percentage in April (5.6) and September (10. 1).
Evaluating Functional Recovery of Habitat for Threatened Woodland Caribou
Resource
Habitat restoration is a core element for the recovery of many declining species. In western Canada, habitat restoration for the recovery of woodland caribou is focused on linear features (LFs)...
Evaluation of Substrate and Amendment Materials for Soil Reclamation at a Diamond Mine in the Northwest Territories, Canada
Resource
Mine waste materials with potential for use in soil construction at a diamond mine in the Northwest Territories were evaluated to address physical and chemical limitations for plant establishment...
Extending the National Burned Area Composite Time Series of Wildfires in Canada
Resource
This study created a 35-year time series of wildfire burned areas in Canada from 1986 to 2020, using data from satellite imagery and aerial surveys. Wildfires are a major natural disturbance in Canada...
Extreme Precipitation Reduces Reproductive Output of an Endangered Raptor
Resource
Frequency and intensity of extreme weather has increased against a backdrop of anthropogenic land change. Extreme rainfall during the breeding season reduced reproductive success of burrowing owls.
Factors Driving Territory Size and Breeding Success in a Threatened Migratory Songbird, the Canada Warbler
Resource
Successful conservation of migratory birds demands we understand how habitat factors on the breeding grounds influences breeding success. Multiple factors are known to directly influence breeding...
Faster and Farther: Wolf Movement on Linear Features and Implications for Hunting Behaviour
Resource
Predation by grey wolves Canis lupus has been identified as an important cause of boreal woodland caribou Rangifer tarandus caribou mortality, and it has been hypothesized that wolf use of human...
Ferruginous Hawk Climate Change Adaptation Plan for Alberta
Resource
The Alberta Ferruginous Hawk Recovery Plan 2009 – 2014 identifies climate change as a factor potentially threatening the recovery of the species in Alberta.
Forest Floor Protection During Drilling Pad Construction and its Benefits for Natural Regeneration of Native Boreal Forest Vegetation
Resource
I I tested forest floor protection techniques in the construction and reclamation of temporary drilling pads to restore native boreal canopy and understory cover. By covering and delineating the...
Gains and Losses of Plant Species and Phylogenetic Diversity for a Northern High-latitude Region
Resource
We found that 368 species (24%) may lose on average > 80% of their current suitable climates (habitats), while 539 species (35%) were projected to more than double their current suitable range
Geomechanical Investigation of Post Reclamation Subsidence of Prairie Strip Mine Spoil
Resource
The post-reclamation subsidence of cast-back overburden is of interest to mining companies and regulatory agencies. Although subsidence may be of lesser concern than the prevention of soil degradation...
Habitat Selection at Different Scales for a Declining Aerial Insectivorous Bird as Determined by Autonomous Recording Technology
Resource
Conservation management is impeded by the lack of baseline data for many non-passerine, cryptic, or nocturnal species that are inadequately sampled by traditional monitoring programs. The recent rise...
