Boreal Caribou Can Coexist with Natural but Not Industrial Disturbances
Resource
Abstract: For species at risk, it is important that demographic models be consistent with our most recent knowledge because alternate model versions can have differing predictions for wildlife and...
Boreal Plant Species for Reclamation of Athabasca Oil Sands Disturbances – Updated December 2014
Resource
Oil sands reclamation guidance documents include lists of potential reclamation species and their characteristics - This report consolidates and updates profiles for 98 of these species
Boreal Trees Can Grow on Saline Sites – Implications for Reclamation Success on Saline Soils
Resource
Both aspen and spruce grew on sites with very high salinity and pH deeper in the soil profile (i.e., 40-100cm), so long as surface soils were not highly saline and had adequate moisture and nutrients.
Breeding Native Grasses for Alpine Reclamation in Alberta
Resource
Disturbances of alpine and subalpine regions are increasing. They result from mining, pipeline and transportation corridor construction, tourism and other activities. Presently, there are no...
Buried Wood Effects on Macronutrient Supply and Microbial Activity and Metabolic Potential in Different Oil Sands Reclamation Soils in Northern Alberta
Resource
Buried wood is an important yet understudied component of natural and anthropogenic soils. Nutrient immobilization as a response to wood addition during oil sands' reclamation may be a concern since...
Burrowing Owl Climate Change Adaptation Plan for Alberta
Resource
This report is intended to provide some adaptation strategies that are focused on management of Burrowing Owls in the face of a changing climate.
Canada Warbler Response to Vegetation Structure on Regenerating Seismic Lines
Resource
Seismic lines have an extensive footprint in Canada's western boreal forest that alter habitat conditions for many species. Seismic lines exist within a range of seral states due to changing practices...
Carbon and Nitrogen Mineralization and Microbial Succession in Oil Sands Reclamation Soils Amended with Pyrogenic Carbon
Resource
Rebuilding native forest soils in reclamation will require the use of biochar to stimulate functional similarity to native ecosystems for nutrient availability and microbial community succession
Carbon Dissolution Effects on pH Changes of RAMP Lakes in Northeastern Alberta, Canada
Resource
This study focuses on interpretation of hydrochemistry from 50 lakes thought to be acid sensitive, and so monitored by the Regional Aquatic Monitoring Program (RAMP) over the last two decades. This...
