Enhanced Revegetation and Reclamation of Oil Sands Disturbed Sites Using Actinorhizal and Mycorrhizal Biotechnology
Resource
Preliminary results, after two growth seasons, show promise in the use of pre-inoculated seedlings in enhancing growth and establishment of alders and conifers on oil sands reclamation sites.
Environmental and Management Drivers of Carbon Dioxide and Methane Emissions From Actively-Extracted Peatlands in Alberta, Canada
Resource
The installation of drainage ditches and removal of vegetation in preparation for vacuum harvesting alters the carbon dynamics of peatlands. However, we lack the measurements to understand the spatial...
Environmental Controls on Carbon Sequestration in a Saline, Boreal, Peat-Forming Wetland in the Athabasca Oil Sands Region
Resource
Saline boreal fens represent potential models for post-mining landscape reclamation in the Athabasca Oil Sands Region (AOSR) (Canada) where wetland construction is challenged by salinization. One of...
Environmental Controls on CO2 Exchange Along a Salinity Gradient in a Saline Boreal Fen in the Athabasca Oil Sands Region
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...
Evaluating the Hydrological Response of a Boreal Fen Following the Removal of a Temporary Access Road
Resource
Removal and reclamation should be considered as a worthwhile venture for roads that extend through fens and are no longer in use.
Evaluation of Reclamation Success in Alberta’s Oil Sands
Resource
Tree and shrub cover increased following reclamation, with shrub cover reaching a plateau after nine years. Traditional use species are present and those planted have remained
Graminoids Vary in Functional Traits, Carbon Dioxide and Methane Fluxes in a Restored Peatland: Implications for Modeling Carbon Storage
Resource
One metric of peatland restoration success is the re-establishment of a carbon sink, yet considerable uncertainty remains around the timescale of carbon sink trajectories. Conditions post-restoration...
Groundwater in Peat and Peatlands
Resource
Peatlands are wetlands with soil comprised of undecomposed remains of plants that accumulate in such a way that both responds to and controls the flux and storage of surface water and groundwater, as...
History of Wetland Reclamation in the Alberta Oil Sands
Resource
Wetland reclamation trends over time, wetland reclamation research, critical findings and the latest wetland reclamation initiatives, such as fen watershed research, design, construction and monitorin
How Mounds are Made Matters: Seismic Line Restoration Techniques Affect Peat Physical and Chemical Properties Throughout the Peat Profile
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...
Impact of Linear Disturbances on Boreal Wetland Carbon and Greenhouse Gas Exchange
Resource
This presentation provides and overview of linear disturbance impacts on carbon and greenhouse gas exchange and links various research posters also presented at the NAIT 7th Seminar on Linear...
Impacts of Seismic Line Restoration on CO2, CH4, and Biomass
Resource
This thesis explores how seismic line mounding treatments affect vegetation cover and composition, above- and belowground biomass, and carbon dioxide (CO 2) and methane (CH 4) fluxes in the first two...
Innovative Techniques to Improve Reclamation Practices in Alberta Oil Sands
Resource
Screens native grasses [fringed brome grass (Bromus ciliatus), June grass (Koeleria macrantha), a mix of native grasses with barley and oats (Avena sativa) for suitability to grow and stabilise tailin
Integrated Surface-subsurface Water and Solute Modeling of a Reclaimed In-pit Oil Sands Mine: Effects of Ground Freezing and Thawing
Resource
The upland and wetlands substrate in reclaimed oil sands landforms will be constructed of post-mining materials with an objective of replicating the landscape and hydrology of the surrounding boreal...
