Saving Endangered Species Using Adaptive Management
Resource
Adaptive management is a powerful means of learning about complex ecosystems, but is rarely used for recovering endangered species. Here, we demonstrate how it can benefit woodland caribou, which...
Seed Collection Guide for Six Boreal Plants Important to Indigenous Peoples
Resource
This publication is intended to be a source for plant identification and seed collection and is available to all who wish to use it. We aimed to make the information in this guide illustrative for...
Semi-aquatic Mammals: Annotated Bibliography
Resource
Annotated bibliography contains 776 entries grouped under the species: muskrat, beaver, mink, and otter
Service Delivery in the Athabasca Oil Sands Region Since 1961
Resource
Population growth in Fort McMurray (from 1200 people to 25,000) necessitated the institution and continuous expansion of a service delivery system, including urban infrastructure and social services
Short-Interval Wildfire and Drought Overwhelm Boreal Forest Resilience
Resource
The size and frequency of large wildfires in western North America have increased in recent years, a trend climate change is likely to exacerbate. Due to fuel limitations, recently burned forests...
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...
Short-term Effects of Wildfire in Boreal Peatlands: Does Fire Mitigate the Linear Footprint of Oil and Gas Exploration?
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...
Should Climate Change be Taken into Account in Reclamation Planning?
Resource
If you are planning or undertaking revegetation using long-lived species such as trees then you should be giving some consideration to the environment they may experience in the future
Shrub Changes with Proximity to Anthropogenic Disturbance in Boreal Wetlands Determined Using Bi-temporal Airborne LiDAR in the Oil Sands Region, Alberta Canada
Resource
Bi-temporal LiDAR data used to identify correspondence between density of anthropogenic disturbances, wetland shape complexity and changes in vegetation height within >1800 wetlands near Fort McKay
Size and Optical Properties of Dissolved Organic Matter in Large Boreal Rivers During Mixing: Implications for Carbon Transport and Source Discrimination
Resource
The functionality of dissolved organic matter (DOM) in natural waters largely depends upon its size and composition. Identifying the sources, associated properties and transport behavior of DOM is...
Small Mammal Populations of Northeastern Alberta. I. Populations in Natural Habitats
Resource
Study of small mammal populations (small rodents and snowshoe hares), habitat use, small rodent diets, and small mammal damage in natural forest and successional communities from June 1978 to Nov 1979
Small Mammal Populations of Northeastern Alberta. II. Populations in Reclamation Areas
Resource
Study of small rodent populations, habitat use, and amounts of small mammal damage to woody-stemmed plants on reclamation areas of Suncor Inc. lease from July 1978 to November 1979

Abstract The impacts of mining activity on human-caribou relationships in the Northwest Territories have been a focus of study in both the natural and social sciences for decades. Guided by Łutsel K’e...
Soil Physical Properties in Reclamation
Resource
To provide coordinated direction for reclamation research in Alberta, the need to review the current understanding and the role of soil physical properties in soil disturbance related activities was...
Soil Quality Assessment in Land Reclamation
Resource
The development and application of quantitative soil quality assessment (SQA) concepts involve calibrating soil quality indicators (SQI), such as soil organic carbon (SOC), to soil management goals...
Soil Quality Criteria Relative to Disturbance and Reclamation (Revised)
Resource
Land disturbances due to resource extraction and transport are intended to be only temporary disruptions to the normal use of land for food and fiber production or for recreation. Although no two...
Soil Research Related to Revegetation of the Oil Sands Area Sub-Project VE4
Resource
Physical properties of soils and mined materials in relation to reclamation; Chemical properties of soils and methods of improving mined material for plant growth; Sulphur deposition and acidification
Soil Salvage Depth is Key to Aspen Root Fragment Survival and Sucker Regeneration in Forest Reclamation
Resource
Aspen sucker production from root fragments was 3X higher at salvage/placement depth of 40 cm compared to 15 cm. Successful suckering occurred in root fragments with little damage in upper 20 cm soil
