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.
Environmental and Management Drivers of Carbon Dioxide and Methane Emissions From Actively-Extracted Peatlands in Alberta, Canada
Resource
The installation of drainage ditches and removal of vegetation in preparation for vacuum harvesting alters the carbon dynamics of peatlands. However, we lack the measurements to understand the spatial...
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).
Estimating Lichen Biomass in Forests and Peatlands of Northwestern Canada in a Changing Climate
Resource
Climate warming in the North could lead to lichen decline within critical woodland caribou habitat. We used repeat measurements of sixty-nine plots over ten years (2007–2008 and 2017–2018) to assess...
