Plain Language Explanation of Human Health Risk Assessment
Resource
Key determinants of people’s exposure to chemical pollutants are: time-activity (where we spend time and what we do), interaction with indoor environments, diet, and occupation
Plant and Seed Technologies
Project
Contact
Organization:
The Plant and Seed Technologies program is uniquely positioned to facilitate the delivery of native shrub, forb and graminoids species for reclamation by: assisting industry and practitioners in more...
Plant Functional Traits as Indicator of the Ecological Condition of Wetlands in the Grassland and Parkland of Alberta, Canada
Resource
The analysis of functional trait-habitat relationships has been used to measure the degree to which environmental factors influence the assembly of ecological communities. In the Parkland and...
Plow-in Pipeline Construction Improves Recovery of Rough Fescue Grassland
Resource
Plow-in pipeline approach resulted in a fescue-bluegrass vegetation community that had the best rough fescue recovery and greatest similarity to undisturbed natural grassland
Podcast - The Science of Growing Forests
Resource
Join host Aspen Dudzic in the latest episode of the Forestry Talks podcast, presented by the Alberta Forest Products Association, as she welcomes Dr. Amanda Schoonmaker, Research Chair for Colleges at...
Potential of Macrophytes for Wastewater Remediation with Constructed Floating Wetlands in Cold Climates
Resource
Nature-based, low technology wastewater treatment systems can benefit small and remote communities. Adding a constructed floating wetland (CFW) to waste stabilization ponds can enhance treatment...
Potential Spatial Overlap of Heritage Sites and Protected Areas in a Boreal Region of Northern Canada
Project
Organization:
This project examined the potential overlap between Gwich'in First Nations (Northwest Territories, Canada) heritage sites and areas independently identified for the protection of conventional...
Potential Spatial Overlap of Heritage Sites and Protected Areas in a Boreal Region of Northern Canada
Resource
Abstract Under article 8-J of the Convention on Biological Diversity, governments must engage indigenous and local communities in the designation and management of protected areas. A better...
Practices to Effectively Till Industrial Forest Soils
Resource
Minimizing the footprint of industrial operation on forest lands is an important goal for maintaining the integrity and sustainability of forest species and communities. Industrial operations and...
Predicting Invasive Plant Response to Climate Change: Prioritization and Mapping of New Potential Threats to Alberta’s Biodiversity
Resource
Assessed 16 potentially new invasive plant species not yet present in Alberta for their invasiveness and climate change-related risk
Predicting Patterns of Regeneration on Seismic Lines to Inform Restoration Planning in Boreal Forest Habitats
Resource
Mapping of oil reserves involves the use of seismic lines (linear disturbances) to determine size of reserves. These linear disturbances fragment forests and in many cases fail to regenerate trees...
Predicting the Cumulative Effects of Human Development on Biodiversity in Northeastern Alberta
Resource
We used information from the Alberta Biodiversity Monitoring Institute (ABMI) on birds, plants, human footprint, and vegetation, plus information from Dr. Bayne on birds, to test a new method for...
Preliminary Watershed Hydrology Model for Reclaimed Oil Sands Sites
Resource
Modelling results for the regional watersheds were encouraging and demonstrate that SWATBF has the potential to be utilized as a practical tool for conducting hydrologic assessments in the oil sands
Principles of Vegetation Management
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...
Principles of Vegetation Management: Vegetation Management Treatments
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...
Prioritization can Improve Cost Effectiveness of Seismic Line Restoration
Resource
Upland mesic sites showed a relatively strong ability to regenerate on their own (passive restoration), while lowland (bogs and fens) and upland dry sites were slow to recover.
Progress Report for 1982: Pinus banksiana-dominated Permanent Plots in the Athabasca Oil Sands
Resource
Of the 16 permanent plots established in 1981, four of these, Nos. 1,6,11, and 13 were destroyed by fire shortly after they were surveyed. In 1982, four new plots were established to replace the...
Projected Responses of Alberta Grassland Songbirds to Climate Change
Resource
Climate suitability projections, and current distribution of grassland and cropland habitats in Alberta suggest that some climate-mediated range expansion of grassland songbirds is possible
Proposed Design for a Program of Toxicological Research for the Alberta Oil Sands Environmental Research Program
Resource
A Toxicological Index is proposed to outline the toxicological significance of specific inorganic elements to mammals and aquatic organisms. Index provides a list of elements of environmental concern
