Benefits of Fertilization for White Spruce and Lodgepole Pine Trees Depend on the Reclamation Substrate – Overburden vs Tailings Sand
Resource
Nitrogen and complete fertilizer applications improved growth of white spruce on overburden sites. Fertilization did not, however, have an effect on lodgepole pine growth on tailings sand sites
Black Bear Use of Seismic Lines in Northern Canada
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...
Boreal Caribou Can Coexist with Natural but Not Industrial Disturbances
Resource
Abstract: For species at risk, it is important that demographic models be consistent with our most recent knowledge because alternate model versions can have differing predictions for wildlife and...
Boreal Trees Can Grow on Saline Sites – Implications for Reclamation Success on Saline Soils
Resource
Both aspen and spruce grew on sites with very high salinity and pH deeper in the soil profile (i.e., 40-100cm), so long as surface soils were not highly saline and had adequate moisture and nutrients.
Buried Wood Effects on Macronutrient Supply and Microbial Activity and Metabolic Potential in Different Oil Sands Reclamation Soils in Northern Alberta
Resource
Buried wood is an important yet understudied component of natural and anthropogenic soils. Nutrient immobilization as a response to wood addition during oil sands' reclamation may be a concern since...
Burrowing Owl Climate Change Adaptation Plan for Alberta
Resource
This report is intended to provide some adaptation strategies that are focused on management of Burrowing Owls in the face of a changing climate.
Canada Warbler Response to Vegetation Structure on Regenerating Seismic Lines
Resource
Seismic lines have an extensive footprint in Canada's western boreal forest that alter habitat conditions for many species. Seismic lines exist within a range of seral states due to changing practices...
Carbon and Nitrogen Mineralization and Microbial Succession in Oil Sands Reclamation Soils Amended with Pyrogenic Carbon
Resource
Rebuilding native forest soils in reclamation will require the use of biochar to stimulate functional similarity to native ecosystems for nutrient availability and microbial community succession
Changes in Geographical Runoff Generation in Regions Affected by Climate and Resource Development: A Case Study of the Athabasca River
Resource
The goal of this study is to enhance the understanding of the regional role of the lower Athabasca Basin areas in overall runoff delivery to the downstream Peace-Athabasca Delta. The Cold-regions...
Characterization of Stored Peat in the Alberta Oil Sands Area
Resource
Physical, chemical, and microbiological properties of stored materials were compared with those of fibric moss peat, mesic moss peat, and mesic fen peat samples from undisturbed sites
Climate Change is the Primary Driver of White-tailed Deer (Odocoileus virginianus) Range Expansion at the Northern Extent of its Range; Land Use is Secondary
Resource
Quantifying the relative influence of multiple mechanisms driving recent range expansion of non-native species is essential for predicting future changes and for informing adaptation and management...
Climate-informed Forecasts Reveal Dramatic Local Habitat Shifts and Population Uncertainty for Northern Boreal Caribou
Resource
Most research on boreal populations of Woodland caribou ( Rangifer tarandus caribou) has been conducted in areas of high anthropogenic disturbance. However, a large portion of the species’ range...
