Short-Term Dynamics of Beaver Dam Flow States
Resource
Beavers ( Castor canadensis and C. fiber) build dams that modify catchment and pond water balances, and it has been suggested that they can be a nature-based solution for reducing flood hydrographs...
The Effect of Cover Crop Species on Growth and Yield Response of Tree Seedlings to Fertiliser and Soil Moisture on Reclaimed Sites
Resource
Comparatively the suppressive effect of barley was higher than that of oats probably due to a combination of vigorous growth and possible allelopathic effects.
The Engineering of Peatland Form and Function by Beaver (Castor spp.)
Resource
Northern peatlands are significant contributors to global biogeochemical cycles. In Canada alone, peatlands cover over a tenth of the land surface and store over half of the country’s terrestrial...

Toxoplasma gondii and Related Sarcocystidae Parasites in Harvested Caribou from Nunavik, Canada
Resource
Abstract Caribou are keystone species important for human harvest and of conservation concern; even so, much is unknown about the impact of parasites on caribou health and ecology. The aim of this...
Trophic Consequences of Terrestrial Eutrophication for a Threatened Ungulate
Resource
Conservation actions directed at the proximate cause of caribou decline have been more successful in the near term than those directed further along the trophic chain.
Undermining Subsistence: Barren-Ground Caribou in a “Tragedy of Open Access”
Resource
The paper describes a “tragedy of open access” occurring in Canada’s north as governments open up new areas of sensitive barren-ground caribou habitat to mineral resource development. A growing body of science and traditional knowledge research points to the adverse impacts of resource development; however, management efforts have been almost exclusively focused on controlling the subsistence harvest of northern Indigenous peoples.
Using Stable Isotopes to Track Hydrological Processes at an Oil Sands Mine, Alberta, Canada
Resource
Water samples were collected and analyzed regularly over an eight-year period to establish inventories of site-wide water isotope signatures including seasonal and interannual changes in the recycle...
Video - A Comparison of Site Preparation Methods on Sub-surface Soil Resistance and Moisture on Reclaimed Industrial Sites in Northwestern Alberta
Resource
This presentation discusses a comparison of site preparation methods on sub-surface soil resistance and moisture on reclaimed industrial sites in northwestern Alberta.
Video - Biodiversity Management Frameworks for Alberta's Land Use Planning Regions
Resource
This presentation discusses Biodiversity Management Frameworks (BMFs), including indicators, triggers, monitoring and management response and reporting.
Video - Comparing Soil and Crop Management in Kazakhstan and Alberta
Resource
Dr. Frank Larnery compares soils and crop management in Akmola province, Kazakhstan with cropping in the black soil zone of Alberta.
Video - Conservation Offset: A Tool for Land Management
Resource
This presentation discusses conservation offsets such as wetland replacement. It is a tool to address multiple demands on land, air and watersheds.
Video - Determining Community Level Physiological Profiles of Organic Soil Horizons
Resource
This presentation is about understanding how land disturbances impact the diversity, abundance and activity of soil microorganisms, and discusses both CLPP and functional diversity
Video - Evaluation of BMPs on the Lower Little Bow River
Resource
At the 2013 Alberta Soil Science Workshop, Dr. Jim Miller covered the extensive and long term results of riparian protection (streambank fencing and offsite watering for cattle pastures) on stream water quality and biology plus the benefits and costs for cattleman.
Video - Evaluation of Nutrient and Irrigation Management BMPs in Southern Alberta
Resource
This presentation is about an evaluation of nutrient and irrigation management Beneficial Management Practices (BMPs) in Southern Alberta.
Video - Forest Floor Protection in the Reclamation of Temporary Drilling Pads
Resource
Sascha Bachmann presented research related to reclamation of temporary drilling pads.
Video - From Mammals to Mites: Biodiversity Management Frameworks for Alberta's Land Use Planning Regions
Resource

Video - HOLOS: A GHG Calculator Growing Up
Resource
Dr. Roland Kroebel outines where ecosystem modeling for agriculture is moving in a presentation to the 50th Alberta Soil Science Workshop. Starting with a GHG calculator, HOLOS, Dr. Kroebel proposes adding a number of other models, for carbon, soil moisture, nitrogen and environmental footprints to create a "Virtual Farm" concept.
