Shepherdia canadensis: Species Identification & Seed Collection and Processing
Resource
This note describes detailed identification of Canada Buffaloberry and technique for collecting and processing Buffaloberry seed.
Site Clearing & Soil Handling for Reclamation of Conventional Wellsites
Resource
Upon abandonment, wellsites must be reclaimed to the standards as described in Alberta’s 2010 Reclamation Criteria for Wellsites and Associated Facilities in Forested Lands. The initial planning and...
Site Preparation: Application of Rough and Loose Mounding and Furrowing (RipPlow) on a Wood Mulched Site
Resource
The practice of mulching forested sites for industrial activities during winter operations is a useful construction practice as it minimizes soil disturbance by protecting the forest floor. However...
Soil Bio-Engineering for Site Restoration
Resource
Increasing use and/or degradation of ecosystems requires development of effective strategies for restoration. Urban developments, industrial uses, including mining, oil and gas and forestry, as well...
Special Considerations in Herbicide Use
Resource
Vegetation management is critical to establishing desirable plant species and to achieving reclamation objectives. This resource is one of four technical notes on vegetation management for reclamation...
Testing the Moss Layer Transfer Technique on Mineral Well Pads Constructed in Peatlands
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 Influence of Forest Harvesting Activities on Seismic Line Tree and Shrub Regeneration in Upland Mixedwood Boreal Forests
Resource
Alberta’s forests are becoming increasingly disturbed and fragmented by the cumulative effects of anthropogenic disturbances exacerbated by the enduring footprint of seismic lines on the landscape...
The Potential of Carbon Nanoparticles as a Stimulant to Improve the Propagation of Native Boreal Forest Species: A Mini-Review
Resource
Boreal forests across Canada and other geographic areas globally have vast networks or densities of seismic lines, pipelines, access roads, utility corridors, and multipurpose trails collectively termed “linear disturbances” or “linear features.”
The Potential of Rock Dust Nanoparticles to Improve Seed Germination and Seedling Vigor of Native Species: A Review
Resource
Land degradation as a result of unregulated mineral exploration and mining, negatively impacts local communities and vulnerable ecosystems.
Tilling Compacted Soils with RipPlows
Resource
The trafficking of soils by industrial equipment generally causes an increase in soil density and loss of soil structure. The effects of moderate to severe compaction and loss of soil structure on the...
Tilling Compacted Soils with RipPlows: A Disturbed Soil Restoration Technique
Resource
The trafficking of soils by industrial equipment generally causes an increase in soil density and loss of soil structure. The effects of moderate to severe compaction and loss of soil structure on the...
Tilling Frozen Soils with RipPlows & Environmental Risk Assessment
Resource
Frozen soils are the most difficult soils to till and many cannot be plowed with RipPlows or require some specific practices to increase the probability of success. The depth of frozen soil that...
Timing of Planting: What are our Options?
Resource
In forest reclamation, the use of nursery stock seedlings is often desirable as this plant material provides greater assurance of woody plant cover development, whereas leave-for-natural-recovery...

Resource
At the 2023 Alberta Chapter, Canadian Land Reclamation Association annual conference, Chris Powter, Tanya Richens, Andy Etmanski, Amanda Schoonmaker, and Dean MacKenzie participated in a panel...
UAV Remote Sensing can Reveal the Effects of Low Impact Seismic Lines on Methane (CH4) Release in a Forested Boreal Bog
Resource
Peatlands are globally significant stores of soil carbon, where local methane (CH 4 ) emissions are strongly linked to water table position and microtopography. Historically, these factors have been...
