Lake Acidification Potential in the Alberta Oil Sands Environmental Research Program Study Area
Resource
Planned increases in oil sands developments with increased outputs of oxides of sulphur and nitrogen, led to a definitive study to assess the susceptibility of nearby lakes to acidification
Methods for Reclamation of Wildlife Habitat in the Canadian Prairie Provinces
Resource
This manual provides information on the planning and application of techniques for reclamation of wildlife habitat. Most of the techniques in this manual are best suited for medium to large-sized...
Motorized Activity on Legacy Seismic Lines: A Predictive Modeling Approach to Prioritize Restoration Efforts
Resource
Natural regeneration of seismic lines, cleared for hydrocarbon exploration, is slow and often hindered by vegetation damage, soil compaction, and motorized human activity. There is an extensive...
Ovenbird (Seiurus aurocapilla) Territory Placement Near Seismic Lines is Influenced by Forest Regeneration and Conspecific Density
Resource
The boreal forest of western Canada is being dissected by seismic lines used for oil and gas exploration. The vast amount of edge being created is leading to concerns that core habitat will be reduced...
Regional Habitat Needs of a Nationally Listed Species, Canada Warbler (Cardellina canadensis), in Alberta, Canada
Resource
Understanding factors that affect the distribution and abundance of species is critical to developing effective management plans for conservation. Our goal was to quantify the distribution and...

Organization:
This single year Habitat Stewardship Program Species at Risk Stream project will improve threatened boreal caribou and endangered southern mountain caribou habitat by increasing undisturbed habitat...
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.
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
The Acute Toxicity of Saline Groundwater and of Vanadium to Fish and Aquatic Invertebrates
Resource
Purpose of this project was to provide detailed information regarding the acute toxicity this mine depressurization water to both fish and invertebrates.
The Climatology of the Alberta Oil Sands Environmental Research Program Study Area
Resource
Winters are cold with relatively little snow. About two-thirds of the precipitation falls in the summer months with several major rainstorms generally accounting for much of the seasonal rain
The Distribution, Foraging Behaviour, and Allied Activities of the White Pelican in the Athabasca Oil Sands Area
Resource
From mid to late summer 1977 an investigation was made of the distribution and foraging of White Pelicans in the Birch Mountains linked with a breeding investigation undertaken at the pelican rookery
The Importance of Continuous Dialogue in Community-Based Wildlife Monitoring: Case Studies of Dzan and łuk Dagaii in the Gwich’in Settlement Area
Resource
Rapid environmental change in the Arctic elicits numerous concerns for ecosystems, natural resources, and ways of life. Robust monitoring is essential to adaptation and management in light of these...
Webinar - Species Density Models to Inform Conservation of Grassland Birds
Resource
Grassland birds are among the steepest declining bird groups in North America, largely due to habitat loss associated with grassland conversion to cropland and shrub encroachment. To overcome this...
Weighing the Importance of Animal Body Size in Traditional Food Systems
Resource
Traditional food systems based on harvest from the local environment are fundamental to the well-being of many communities, but their security is challenged by rapid socio-ecological change. We...
