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
Should Climate Change be Taken into Account in Reclamation Planning?
Resource
If you are planning or undertaking revegetation using long-lived species such as trees then you should be giving some consideration to the environment they may experience in the future
Shrub Changes with Proximity to Anthropogenic Disturbance in Boreal Wetlands Determined Using Bi-temporal Airborne LiDAR in the Oil Sands Region, Alberta Canada
Resource
Bi-temporal LiDAR data used to identify correspondence between density of anthropogenic disturbances, wetland shape complexity and changes in vegetation height within >1800 wetlands near Fort McKay
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 Physical Properties in Reclamation
Resource
To provide coordinated direction for reclamation research in Alberta, the need to review the current understanding and the role of soil physical properties in soil disturbance related activities was...
Soil Quality Criteria Relative to Disturbance and Reclamation (Revised)
Resource
Land disturbances due to resource extraction and transport are intended to be only temporary disruptions to the normal use of land for food and fiber production or for recreation. Although no two...
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.
Soils of Permanent Sample Plots in the Athabasca Oil Sands Area
Resource
Provide information on the kinds, characteristics, and distribution of soils in 16 permanent sample plots, each of about 5 ha area, established during 1981
Some Chemical and Physical Properties of Soil Materials Associated with the Reclamation of Mined Tar Sands Areas
Resource
This document consists of two tables providing chemical and physical properties of soil, peat, overburden, spent sand and lean tar sand from Syncrude and Suncor.
Some Methods for Treating Tar Sands Tailings: Part 1 - Laboratory Application of CO2 Process and Related Testing of Type "X" Treatment
Resource
This report describes some novel experiments adding CO2 to liquid tailings from the G. C. O. S. plant, which may lead to an economically feasible tailings treatment process
Some Methods for Treating Tar Sands Tailings: Part 2 - Theory of CO2 Process
Resource
Part 2 of the report deals with the theoretical aspects of the reactions between carbon dioxide and tailings.
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.
Spent Oil-sand Fertility Study
Resource
Physical and chemical analyses of spent sand indicate that this material is very infertile. The spent sand samples analysed had an average pH of 7.2 and low Na content
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
