Experimental Moose Reduction Lowers Wolf Density and Stops Decline of Endangered Caribou
Resource
Using an adaptive management experiment, we tested the hypothesis that reducing moose to historic levels would reduce apparent competition and therefor recover caribou populations.
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 Affecting Alpine Grass Seed Germination in Relation to Their Potential use in Reclamation
Resource
Poa alpina L. seeds germinated best under darkness and 16/8 h cycles of 22/l5°C temperature while Agropyron latiglume L. seeds needed a 29/22°C regime and darkness for best germination. Rapid...
Factors Influencing the Native Species Invasion of a Reclaimed Subalpine Minesite Near Grande Cache, Alberta
Resource
Factors affecting native species invasion were studied on a subalpine minesite (Smoky River Coal Limited No. 8 Mine) in the vicinity of Grande Cache, Alberta. The site had been revegetated with...
Faro Mine Complex Revegetation Activities
Resource
In preparation for remediation and closure of the Faro Mine Complex (FMC), significant work has been completed to develop and test revegetation methods at the mine site. Development and implementation...
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.
Field Assessment of Sulphide Oxidation Rates in Cold Environment: Case Study of Raglan Mine
Resource
In this field study conducted on Raglan Mine's tailings storage facility (TSF), tailings oxidation rates were characterized with the oxygen consumption (OC) method. Surface tailings unfrozen...
Field Measurement of Wind Erosion in Southern Alberta: Preliminary Results
