Rangeland Revegetation Monitoring on Two Pipeline Rights-of-Way in Southern Alberta
Resource
Compare vegetative productivity, plant species composition and animal utilization on pipeline right-of-way to that of the adjacent native grassland. Field assessments were conducted over 4 years
Reclamation and Industry in Alberta Today and Tomorrow (1990s)
Resource
This paper provides the author's perspective on a series of questions posed by the symposium's Organizing Committee. The paper does not represent an endorsed industry wide collective response...
Soil Compaction: A Literature Review
Resource
Concerns about soil compaction on pipeline rights-of-way have increased with the introduction of heavier, more powerful construction equipment
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 and Temporal Changes in Seasonal Range Attributes in a Declining Barren-ground Caribou Herd
Resource
From 1996 to 2015 the Bathurst caribou herd has declined from approximately 349,000 to 20,000 animals. Aboriginal traditional knowledge (TK) has recently observed the later arrival of the herd below...
The Long-term Impact of Pipeline Construction on Solonetzic Mixed Prairie

Tools for Arctic Revegetation: What's in Your Toolbox?
Resource
Revegetation in arctic climates is a challenge for many reasons. There are two approaches to arctic revegetation: natural regeneration and active reclamation. Natural regeneration is an inexpensive...
Topsoil Handling During Pipeline Construction in Potentially Arable Forested Luvisols of Northwest Alberta
Resource
Objective was to evaluate several pipeline topsoil stripping depths to determine whether they result in land capability equivalent to that of adjacent forested lands broken for cultivation
Topsoil Stripping in Potentially Arable Forested Luvisols: A Literature Review
Resource
Topsoil stripping of forested soils and its subsequent replacement would result in horizon characteristics similar to those of the plough depth resulting from farming practices
