Routes to Response: A Conceptual Framework to Detect the Effect of Oil Sands Industrial Activity on the Land
Resource
The Oil Sands Monitoring Program is assessing the environmental impacts of oil sands development at different spatial scales. Monitoring in the Oil Sands Region operates under a consistent framework...
Rusty Blackbird (Euphagus carolinus ) Population and Distribution Data in the Athabasca and Cold Lake Oil Sands Regions of Alberta using Automated Recording Units (ARUs)
Resource
The Rusty Blackbird ( Euphagus carolinus ) was listed as Special Concern on Schedule 1 of the federal Species at Risk Act in March 2009 because of large and longterm declines in population size. The...
Saving Endangered Species Using Adaptive Management
Resource
Adaptive management is a powerful means of learning about complex ecosystems, but is rarely used for recovering endangered species. Here, we demonstrate how it can benefit woodland caribou, which...
Semi-aquatic Mammals: Annotated Bibliography
Resource
Annotated bibliography contains 776 entries grouped under the species: muskrat, beaver, mink, and otter
Service Delivery in the Athabasca Oil Sands Region Since 1961
Resource
Population growth in Fort McMurray (from 1200 people to 25,000) necessitated the institution and continuous expansion of a service delivery system, including urban infrastructure and social services
Slowing Down Wolves to Protect Boreal Caribou Populations: A Spatial Simulation Model of Linear Feature Restoration
Resource
In Canada, boreal caribou ( Rangifer tarandus caribou) are declining in numbers, in part due to increased predation by wolves ( Canis lupus). One management option to reduce wolf–caribou interactions...
Small Mammal Populations of Northeastern Alberta. I. Populations in Natural Habitats
Resource
Study of small mammal populations (small rodents and snowshoe hares), habitat use, small rodent diets, and small mammal damage in natural forest and successional communities from June 1978 to Nov 1979
Small Mammal Populations of Northeastern Alberta. II. Populations in Reclamation Areas
Resource
Study of small rodent populations, habitat use, and amounts of small mammal damage to woody-stemmed plants on reclamation areas of Suncor Inc. lease from July 1978 to November 1979
Soil Research Related to Revegetation of the Oil Sands Area Sub-Project VE4
Resource
Physical properties of soils and mined materials in relation to reclamation; Chemical properties of soils and methods of improving mined material for plant growth; Sulphur deposition and acidification
Soils Inventory of the Alberta Oil Sands Environmental Research Program Study Area
Resource
Recurring patterns of soils, landforms, and vegetation were delineated. The information was transferred first to 1:50,000 preliminary maps and then to eight 1:126,720 maps which accompany this report
Soils Inventory of the Alberta Oil Sands Environmental Research Program Study Area: Appendix 9.4 to AOSERP Report 122
Resource
Soil morphology, site descriptions, and physical and chemical data for 130 soil profiles from the AOSERP study area are presented.
Species Distribution and Habitat Relationships of Waterfowl in Northeastern Alberta
Resource
Spring-staging totals for two surveys for this year were 1000 and 3600 ducks. Five fall-staging surveys revealed a total of from 11 000 to 24 000 ducks.
Status of Land Cover and Biodiversity in Norbord Inc.'s Operating Areas
Resource
This online report describes the status of human footprint, species, and habitat in Norbord Inc.'s two main operating areas located in northwestern Alberta. This information establishes baseline...
Studies in Recolonization of Stream Substrates by Aquatic Organisms
Resource
Colonization of limestone gravel, limestone gravel + organic matter, and limestone gravel from a river bed was followed over time to compare two possible stream reclamation substrates with a control
Supplemental Fisheries Life History Data for Selected Lakes and Streams in the AOSERP Study Area
Resource
Life history information and location data for the 672 fish, of 17 species, collected from rivers lakes are presented in table format
Symptomology and Threshold Levels of Air Pollutant Injury to Vegetation, 1979-80
Resource
A number of coniferous and deciduous species that had been growing on the Suncor tailings sand dike for five to seven years were fumigated with 0.34 ppm SO2 under controlled environmental conditions

Resource
Ecological factors discussed for each species include soil and moisture requirements, reproduction, establishment, growth, successional roles, sensitivity to pollutants, and the associated species
Synthesis of Surface Water Hydrology
Resource
Runoff from within the study area contributes less than 10% of the average flow in the Athabasca River at the northern boundary of the study area. Snowfall constitutes about 30% of precipitation
