Aspects of the Hydrologic and Sediment Regimes of the Muskeg River Basin and the Consequences of Vegetation Removal
Resource
Goals of this investigation were to describe the present hydrologic and sediment regimes and to predict the consequences of surface disturbances which precede oil sands mining using runoff plots.
Assessing Design Flows and Sediment Discharge on the Eastern Slopes
Resource
Document provides an evaluation of currently available rainfall runoff sediment production methodologies, identifies key parameters, and outlines field programs to gather data for model calibration
Assessing Ecological Recovery of Reclaimed Well Sites: A Case Study From Alberta, Canada
Resource
Empirical evaluations of reclamation success are critical for understanding the speed of ecosystem recovery and improving best practices. In this study, we provide a quantitative evaluation of the...
Assessing Peatland Restoration Success to Meet Alberta’s Peatland Reclamation Criteria
Resource
We conducted a full peatland assessment using the new criteria on a restored well pad near Peace River, Alberta. In 2012, mineral overburden was removed along with geo-textile and the buried peat was...
Assessing Post-harvest Interim Seed Storage Conditions: A Case Study of Four Boreal Plant Species
Resource
The longevity of seeds in storage is modulated by the initial quality as well as the storage conditions.
Assessing Re-establishment of Functional Forest Ecosystems on Reclaimed Oil Sands Mine Lands
Resource
This paper presents information on RWG’s approach to the guidance and assessment of reforestation of oil sands mine disturbances
Assessing Risk of Mercury Exposure and Nutritional Benefits of Consumption of Caribou (Rangifer tarandus) in the Vuntut Gwitchin First Nation Community of Old Crow, Yukon, Canada
Resource
The contamination of traditional foods with chemical pollutants is a challenge to the food security of Aboriginal Peoples. This resource and others can be found on the Northern Caribou Canada website...
Assessing Spatial Factors Affecting Predation Risk to Boreal Caribou Calves: Implications for Management
Resource
In 2013, we completed the last year of data collection for the project. Across the project’s three years, we collected GPS data from 57 female caribou, 19 wolves (Canis lupus) and 19 black bears...
Assessing the Climate Suitability and Potential Economic Impacts of Oak Wilt in Canada
Resource
Oak wilt is a disease that kills oak trees and is caused by a fungus named Bretziella fagacearum. Though not currently found in Canada, our distribution models indicate that suitable climate...
Assessing the Cumulative Effects of Environmental Change on Wildlife Harvesting Areas in the Inuvialuit Settlement Region through Spatial Analysis and Community-based Research
Resource
Arctic ecosystems are undergoing rapid environmental transformations. Climate change is affecting permafrost temperature, vegetation structure, and wildlife populations, and increasing human...
Assessing the Cumulative Impacts of Forest Management on Forest Age Structure Development and Woodland Caribou Habitat in Boreal Landscapes: A Case Study from Two Canadian Provinces
Resource
The Canadian boreal forest biome has been subjected to a long history of management for wood production. Here, we examined the cumulative impacts of logging on older forests in terms of area...
Assessing the Evidence for Adoption of a Conservation Breeding Strategy to Enable Recovery of Southern Mountain Caribou Population in Jasper NP
Resource
This report describes an assessment of the evidence for a conservation breeding program being proposed by Parks Canada to recover threatened woodland caribou populations in Jasper National Park. This...
