Effect of Grasses and Soil Amendments on Soil Aggregates and Aggregate Strength
Resource
Four solum and subsoil materials from Alberta were treated to determine if soil aggregation and aggregate strength could be increased to reduce succeptibility to soil compaction. Each soil was treated...
Effects of Population, Environment and their Interaction on Saskatoon Berry (Amelanchier alnifolia Nutt.) Seed Germination
Resource
To determine the effects of population, environment and their interaction on the variability of seed germination, seeds of 27 random native Alberta populations of Saskatoon berry ( Amelanchier...
Efficient Monitoring of Wildlife Responses to Seismic Line Restoration in the Algar Habitat Restoration Program
Resource
This project has clearly demonstrated the utility of camera trap surveys for monitoring restoration effectiveness in boreal environments. The cameras facilitated the collection of longitudinal data on...
Establishment of Trees and Shrubs on Mined Land in the Grande Cache Area
Resource
The Terrain Sciences Department of the Alberta Research Council has been conducting a reclamation research program at the operations of Smoky River Coal Limited in the Grande Cache area since 1972...
Establishment of Trees and Shrubs on Mined Land in the Subalpine Region of Alberta
Resource
The Alberta Research Council has conducted a surface mine reclamation research program at the operations of Smoky River Coal Limited near Grande Cache, Alberta since 1972. The overall objective of...
Evaluating Seed Surface Disinfection Methods Using a New Apparatus
Resource
Results of germination experiments can be affected by contamination of seeds by fungi and bacteria. Seed surface disinfection is a useful method of reducing seed contamination.
Evaluating the Revegetation Success of Foothills Fescue Grassland
Resource
Seeding fescue grassland is often associated with low emergence and poor establishment. Alternative methods for re-vegetating fescue grassland include fescue plugs and the use of native hay. Each...
Evaluation of Reclamation Practices on Upland and Peatland Wellsites
Resource
Need for clear direction on information required to support professional justification which describes why specific deficiencies will not have long term adverse environmental impacts and/or affect ELC
Evaluation of Substrate and Amendment Materials for Soil Reclamation at a Diamond Mine in the Northwest Territories, Canada
Resource
Mine waste materials with potential for use in soil construction at a diamond mine in the Northwest Territories were evaluated to address physical and chemical limitations for plant establishment...
Experimental Design for Estimating White-Tailed Deer Occupancy, Density, and Habitat Selection in Alberta’s Boreal Forest
Resource
In this year we analyzed the study landscape using GIS, reclassified AVI data into deer habitat categories, and created the experimental design for sampling deer occupancy using remote cameras. We...

Fact Sheet - Nodding Brome Grass
Resource
This Fact Sheet provides basic information on germination, species description, ecology, agronomy, revegetation uses, and the market for nodding brome grass ( Bromus porteri), aka Porter's brome.
Factors Affecting Alpine Grass Seed Germination in Relation to Their Potential use in Reclamation
Resource
Poa alpina L. seeds germinated best under darkness and 16/8 h cycles of 22/l5°C temperature while Agropyron latiglume L. seeds needed a 29/22°C regime and darkness for best germination. Rapid...
Factors Influencing the Native Species Invasion of a Reclaimed Subalpine Minesite Near Grande Cache, Alberta
Resource
Factors affecting native species invasion were studied on a subalpine minesite (Smoky River Coal Limited No. 8 Mine) in the vicinity of Grande Cache, Alberta. The site had been revegetated with...
Factors that Result in Sustainable Forest Ecosystem Development on Padded Sites in Peatlands: Pilot Study
Resource
The pilot study validated the research questions, sampling design, measurement and data analysis methods developed for a large‐scale study, with some minor amendments.
Forage Quality of Seeded Native Grasses in the Fall Season on the Canadian Prairie Provinces
Resource
There is renewed interest in re-seeding native grasses in the prairie region of western Canada but there is limited information on their forage quality for fall grazing. We evaluated forage quality in...
Forest Ecosystem Monitoring in Saskatchewan and Alberta: Identification of Aquatic Elements and Sampling Protocols
Resource
This chapter describes aquatic elements and sampling protocols that could be used to monitor forested stream ecosystems in Alberta and Saskatchewan
