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
