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...
Environmental Controls on Carbon Sequestration in a Saline, Boreal, Peat-Forming Wetland in the Athabasca Oil Sands Region
Resource
Saline boreal fens represent potential models for post-mining landscape reclamation in the Athabasca Oil Sands Region (AOSR) (Canada) where wetland construction is challenged by salinization. One of...
Environmental Controls on CO2 Exchange Along a Salinity Gradient in a Saline Boreal Fen in the Athabasca Oil Sands Region
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...
Evaluating the Hydrological Response of a Boreal Fen Following the Removal of a Temporary Access Road
Resource
Removal and reclamation should be considered as a worthwhile venture for roads that extend through fens and are no longer in use.
Evaluating the Revegetation Success of Foothills Fescue Grassland
Resource
Seeding fescue grassland is often associated with low emergence and poor establishment. Alternative methods for re-vegetating fescue grassland include fescue plugs and the use of native hay. Each...
Evaluation of Reclamation Practices on Upland and Peatland Wellsites
Resource
Need for clear direction on information required to support professional justification which describes why specific deficiencies will not have long term adverse environmental impacts and/or affect ELC
Experimental Design for Estimating White-Tailed Deer Occupancy, Density, and Habitat Selection in Alberta’s Boreal Forest
Resource
In this year we analyzed the study landscape using GIS, reclassified AVI data into deer habitat categories, and created the experimental design for sampling deer occupancy using remote cameras. We...
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...
Field-scale Assessment of Phytoremediation of a Flare-Pit Soil in Carlyle, SK: Year 4 Overview
Resource
A cooperative trial to test the use of vegetation to enhance treatment of soils contaminated with weathered petroleum hydrocarbons (PHCs) was initiated in 2002. Experimental protocols were adapted...
Graminoids Vary in Functional Traits, Carbon Dioxide and Methane Fluxes in a Restored Peatland: Implications for Modeling Carbon Storage
Resource
One metric of peatland restoration success is the re-establishment of a carbon sink, yet considerable uncertainty remains around the timescale of carbon sink trajectories. Conditions post-restoration...
Grizzly Bear Response to Oil and Gas Activities in Alberta
Resource
In 2010 and 2011, the Foothills Research Institute Grizzly Bear Program (FRIGBP) received funding from the Alberta Upstream Petroleum Research Fund (AUPRF) and other program partners to investigate...
Grizzly Bears and Pipelines: Response to Unique Linear Features
Resource
This report includes results from two years of research investigating grizzly bear response to oil and gas pipelines in the Kakwa region of west-central Alberta. We investigated grizzly bear habitat...
Groundwater in Peat and Peatlands
Resource
Peatlands are wetlands with soil comprised of undecomposed remains of plants that accumulate in such a way that both responds to and controls the flux and storage of surface water and groundwater, as...
Guide to Variance Justifications for Reclamation Certification of Wellsites and Associated Facilities on Forested Land: Case Studies
Resource
This document provides five case studies to show how the Guide to Variance Justifications for Reclamation Certification would be applied to real‐world examples of reclamation certificate applications
Guide to Variance Justifications for Reclamation Certification of Wellsites and Associated Facilities on Forested Land
Resource
This document was developed to provide guidance and consistency in applying for and approving variance requests for reclamation certification of upland sites from an ecological perspective.
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...
