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...
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...
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...
Social-ecological Reclamation in the Northwest Territories: A Framework for Healing Human-caribou Relations
Resource
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 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
Soluble Calcium and Sulphate Excesses Related to Stress in Pinus contorta on Peat Amendments of Reclaimed Landscapes in the Boreal Oil Sands Region
Resource
Results indicated a negative relationship among pine performance with increasing soluble calcium and available sulphate-S
Spatial Patterning of Prey at Reproduction to Reduce Predation Risk: What Drives Dispersion from Groups?
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...
Spatial Variability and Controls on Surface Water Chemistry and Quality in a Landscape: The Western Boreal Forest
Resource
Shallow lakes are highly abundant in the Canadian Western Boreal Forest (WBF) and provide essential ecosystem functions, water resources, sources of biodiversity and anthropogenic values. Increasing...
Spatiotemporal Variations of Total and Dissolved Trace Elements and Their Distributions Amongst Major Colloidal Forms Along and Across the Lower Athabasca River
Resource
With a wide variety of natural and potential anthropogenic inputs, the Athabasca River (AR) has been the focus of recent attention. In addition to natural inputs of trace elements (TEs) from...
State-Of-The-Art Above Ground Mesocosm Facility
Resource
The InnoTech/UofA above ground mesocosm facility enables configurable, innovative approaches for assessing potential environmental and ecological impacts of industrial activities
Surface Soil Handling on Mines in the Boreal Forest – from Textbook to Operations
Resource
Research has shown forest surface soil provides an economical, diverse and abundant source of native propagules and an important source of nutrients and soil fauna. Salvage depth affects soil quality
Synopsis Report 2018/19 Arctic Caribou Contaminant Monitoring Program
Resource
This project studies contaminant levels in caribou in the Canadian Arctic to determine if these populations remain healthy (in terms of contaminant loads), whether these important resources remain...
