Deeper Soil Salvaging Depths Produce Greater Cover of Native Plants than Shallow Salvage Depths on a Reclaimed Coal Mine Site
Resource
The deeper soil salvage depth (40 cm) was better than the shallow salvage depth (15 cm) at establishing a forest understory plant community characteristic of the boreal forest.
Demand for Nonprovisioning Ecosystem Services as a Driver of Change in the Canadian Boreal Zone
Resource
The Canadian boreal zone provides ecosystem services from local to global scales. Either directly or indirectly, demands for these services have and will continue to serve as drivers of change in the...
Demographic Declines Over Time and Variable Responses of Breeding Bird Populations to Human Footprint in the Athabasca Oil Sands Region, Alberta, Canada
Resource
Habitat loss and disturbance from industrial resource development may be contributing to declines in boreal bird populations. We applied hierarchical multi-species models to data from 31 bird species...
Demographic Responses of a Threatened, Low-density Ungulate to Annual Variation in Meteorological and Phenological Conditions
Resource
Study highlights the increased relevance of recovery actions when adverse climatic conditions are likely to negatively affect caribou demography.
Deposition of Sulphur and its Influence on Soils in the AOSERP Study Area
Resource
Several field investigations were carried out to determine the amounts of sulphur deposited in rain, in rain washing off trees, and by direct absorption of SO2 by soil
Determining Sustainable Levels of Cumulative Effects for Boreal Caribou
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...
Developing a Reclamation Costing Framework for the Athabasca Oil Sands
Resource
The Athabasca oil sands are a significant component of the economy in Alberta. However, they also represent a large environmental risk. At the end of mining operations, companies are expected to begin...
Developing Monitoring Protocols for Aquatic Ecosystems in Forested Regions of Alberta
Resource
This report is part of a larger endeavor to develop a monitoring program capable of detecting changes in the biological diversity of Alberta’s forested region.
Development of a Recovery Index to Quantify Ecological Recovery of Reclaimed Wellsites
Resource
Long-term monitoring of some sites would ultimately be needed to show that recovering wellsites are on a trajectory that consistently leads to full recovery.
Development of a Toxin-Mediated Predator-Prey Model Applicable to Aquatic Environments in the Athabasca Oil Sands Region
Resource
Previous work has considered the effect of a toxin on the population dynamics of a single trophic level, such as fish, we focus on the impacts of toxins on the population dynamics of aquatic food webs
Development of an Extraction Method for Estimating Phytoaccessible Fractions of Bromacil and Tebuthiuron
Resource
Bromacil and tebuthiuron are herbicides used from the 1960s to 1990s on industrial sites to control vegetation. Approximately 61,750 sites are considered contaminated when comparing total herbicide...
Dewatering Fine Tails by Evaporation: A Mathematical Modelling Approach
Resource
A one dimensional approach was used to model the evaporation process from fine tails. Understanding the complex interactions among the solids, water and external atmospheric demand is required
Digging Into Canadian Soils - An Introduction to Soil Science
Resource
Written entirely by members of the Canadian Society of Soil Science, "Digging into Canadian Soils: An Introduction to Soil Science" provides an introduction to the core disciplines of soil science...
Domains of Scale in Cumulative Effects of Energy Sector Development on Boreal Birds
Resource
We estimated cumulative effects of energy sector development on distributions of sixteen migratory songbird species at multiple spatial scales within the boreal region of Alberta, Canada, and...
Dynamic Patterns in Winter Ungulate Browse Succession in the Boreal Plains of Alberta
Resource
Examines changes in winter browse richness, evenness, abundance, and community composition, as well as their use (browse levels) by moose and white-tailed deer, over a 150-year post-wildfire period
Early Regeneration Dynamics of Pure Black Spruce and Aspen Forests after Wildfire in Boreal Alberta, Canada
Resource
Research Highlights: Black spruce ( Picea mariana Mill.) and trembling aspen ( Populus tremuloides Michx.) both regenerated vigorously after wildfire. However, pure semi-upland black spruce stands are...
Ecological Recovery Monitoring of Certified Reclaimed Wellsites in Alberta: Field Data Collection Protocols for Forested Lands
Resource
Monitoring protocols for forested land wellsites to determine if a reclaimed site has returned to similar structure and function as found in a representative undisturbed reference area.
