Methane Cycling in Horticultural Extracted, Restored, and Unrestored Peatlands in Central Alberta
Resource
Horticulture peat extraction drastically changes peatland ecosystems and their carbon and greenhouse gas balance. Comprehensive study on the combined response of methane (CH4) cycling (i.e., CH4...
Methane Cycling Microbial Community Characteristics: Comparing Natural, Actively Extracted, Restored and Unrestored Boreal Peatlands
Resource
The microbial community in peat is responsible for organic matter degradation and greenhouse gas emissions, yet its response to peat extraction and peatland restoration remains poorly understood. We...
Microbial Populations in the Athabasca River
Resource
Direct epifluorescence method has been adapted for counting bacteria in the sometimes turbid water of the Athabasca River and this method has been used to quantify planktonic bacteria.

Mixing Characteristics of the Athabasca River Below Fort McMurray – Winter Conditions
Resource
Comprehensive assessment of mixing characteristics of the Athabasca River below Fort McMurray under ice-covered flow conditions. Two tracer tests conducted and analysed using recent theoretical models
Modelling the Circulation and Sediment Distribution in the Athabasca Delta Area
Resource
Potential for using satellite imagery to determine water quality parameters in the southwest end of Lake Athabasca and provide a mathematical model capable of simulating the circulation patterns
Moose Habitat and Populations in Alberta Boreal and Foothills Regions: Literature Review
Resource
Moose occur across the northern Boreal and Foothills of Alberta (Alces alces). Their core range is in mid- and west-central Alberta and supports the highest densities of moose in the province. The...
Moose Lake Access Management Plan
Resource
This plan provides land-use resource development direction for industry and regulators for the Moose Lake 10km zone, a planning area located approximately 100 kilometers northwest of Fort McMurray in...
Moose Response to Disturbance in West-central Alberta
Project
Contact
Organization:
This Caribou Program project examines how moose respond to different re-vegetation trajectories after disturbance. This will give re-vegetation prescriptions that favour moose less, and therefore are...
Motorized Activity on Legacy Seismic Lines: A Predictive Modeling Approach to Prioritize Restoration Efforts
Resource
Natural regeneration of seismic lines, cleared for hydrocarbon exploration, is slow and often hindered by vegetation damage, soil compaction, and motorized human activity. There is an extensive...
Motorized Human Use of Legacy Seismic Lines
Project
Contact
Organization:
Project DescriptionOff-Highway vehicles are widely used on these seismic lines and can hamper vegetative re-growth because of ongoing physical damage and compaction. Understanding where motorized...
Movement of Predators Influenced by Seismic Lines
Resource
The paper by the Caribou Program (and GIS and Grizzly Bear Programs) breaks down how seismic lines are influencing predator movement by season and species. This infographic was illustrated by Jennifer...
Mycorrhizal Studies Regarding the Reclamation of Oil Sand Tailings: Production and Outplanting of Jack Pine Seedlings and Amounts of VA- and Ectomycorrhizal Inoculum in Stockpiled Peat
Resource
Produce mycorrhizal jack pine seedlings in the greenhouse and initiate a field study on the Syncrude dyke on the effect of different ectomycorrhizal fungi on the growth of jack pine
Native Employment Patterns in Alberta’s Athabasca Oil Sands Region
Resource
Patterns and trends in native employment and employment training; gaps and ambiguities about employment patterns and employment training programs, and research recommendations
Native Plant Revegetation Guidelines for Alberta
Resource
These guidelines provide a clear, consistent and integrated information package about using native plant materials throughout Alberta where the revegetation goal is to re-establish a native plant...
Natural Regeneration of Forest Vegetation on Legacy Seismic Lines in Boreal Habitats in Alberta’s Oil Sands Region
Resource
Mapping of oil reserves involves the use of seismic lines (linear disturbances) to determine both their location and extent. Conventional clearing techniques for seismic assessment have left a legacy...
Natural Regeneration on Seismic Lines Influences Movement Behaviour of Wolves and Grizzly Bears
Resource
Across the boreal forest of Canada, habitat disturbance is the ultimate cause of caribou ( Rangifer tarandus caribou) declines. Habitat restoration is a focus of caribou recovery efforts, with a goal...
Nested Population Structure of Threatened Boreal Caribou Revealed by Network Analysis
Resource
Delineating relevant local populations of widely distributed species is a common challenge in conservation ecology. Caribou and reindeer ( Rangifer tarandus) are in general decline throughout their...
