Defining Best Management Practices for Conservation of Reclamation Materials in the Mineable Oil Sands Region of Alberta
Resource
Task-group formed to define Best Management Practices (BMPs) for conservation of reclamation materials in the mineable oil sands region of Alberta; easier to define BMPs for salvage than replacement
Demand for Nonprovisioning Ecosystem Services as a Driver of Change in the Canadian Boreal Zone
Resource
The Canadian boreal zone provides ecosystem services from local to global scales. Either directly or indirectly, demands for these services have and will continue to serve as drivers of change in the...
Digging Into Canadian Soils - An Introduction to Soil Science

Factors that Result in Sustainable Forest Ecosystem Development on Padded Sites in Peatlands: Pilot Study
Resource
The pilot study validated the research questions, sampling design, measurement and data analysis methods developed for a large‐scale study, with some minor amendments.
Fencing Large Predator-Free and Competitor-Free Landscapes for the Recovery of Woodland Caribou in Western Alberta: An Ineffective Conservation Option
Resource
In Canada, boreal woodland caribou (Rangifer tarandus caribou) are listed as “threatened” throughout their range due directly and indirectly to habitat loss. In western Alberta, in order to recover...
Field-scale Assessment of Phytoremediation of a Flare-Pit Soil in Carlyle, SK: Year 4 Overview
