Possibilités de réutilisation et de réamenagement de mines abandonnées souterraines; considérations géologiques et environnementales
Resource
Jusqu'à maintenant, beaucoup de recherche et de projets de restauratlon de sites miniers abandonnées partout à travers le monde ont été réalisés et la plupart d'entre eux portent en fait sur la...
Potential Conflict between Future Development of Natural Resources and High-value Wildlife Habitats in Boreal Landscapes
Resource
We used the Muskwa-Kechika Management Area in northeast British Columbia, Canada as a case study to determine potential conflicts between future resource development and high-value habitats of large...
Potential Contamination of Shallow Aquifers by Surface Mining of Coal
Resource
This is one of a series of reports that presents the findings of the Plains Hydrology and Reclamation Project (PHRP), an interdisciplinary study that focuses primarily on hydrologic aspects of the...
Potential Impacts of Beaver on Oil Sands Reclamation Success – an Analysis of Available Literature
Resource
Reclaimed mine sites will consist of engineered landforms (including water bodies and waterways); the long-term hydrological and ecological function of those sites may be vulnerable to beaver activity
Potential of LFH Mineral Soil Mixes for Land Reclamation in Alberta
Resource
LFH salvaged with small amounts of upper horizon mineral soil for land reclamation has proven to be an important source of seeds and vegetative propagules for forest plant communities
Potential Productivity of Black Bear Habitat of the AOSERP Study Area
Resource
Crude average bear density for the AOSERP study area, including water areas, was 0.18 per km2 assuming total avoidance of muskeg areas and 0.25 per km2 assuming use of muskeg
Potential to Use Animals as Monitors of Ecosystem Health in the Oil Sands Region – July 2013 Update
Resource
Research on wildlife species, used as either monitors, or indicator species, can provide early warning and predictive information regarding exposure and effects of contaminants from oil sands
Potential Utilization of Native Prairie Grasses from Western Canada as Ethanol Feedstock
Resource
The utilization of native grass species for potential biomass feedstocks of the emerging ethanol industry requires more information about their cellulose and hemicellulose concentration. Ten native...
Practices to Effectively Till Industrial Forest Soils
