Moose and Predator Numerical Responses to Anthropogenic Features in the Alberta Oil Sands Region
Resource
Landscape disturbance is typically synonymous with habitat loss and fragmentation, and subsequent biodiversity loss. However, the effects of landscape disturbance vary among species and disturbance...
Moss Cellulose 18O Applied to Reconstruct Past Changes in Water Balance of a Boreal Wetland Complex, Northeastern Alberta
Resource
Overall, the study established existence of long-term groundwater source areas around the margins of the peatland, as well as contemporary permafrost thaw zones within the McClelland Wetland itself.

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 Grass Breeding Program at Alberta Environmental Centre
Resource
A program to develop genotypes of native Alberta species for reclamation of disturbed lands was begun at the Alberta Environmental Centre in 1983. As a part of this larger program a native grass...
Native Legumes for Reclamation in Alberta
Resource
4-year project to collect, multiply, evaluate, and select native legume species for inclusion in a native seed mixture being developed at AEC for reclamation in the mountains and foothills
Native Plant Invasion into Reclaimed Oil Sands Mine Sites
Resource
Slightly more invasion occurred on oil sands tailings sand sites seeded to native grasses and legumes, but much more invasion occurred on non-seeded sites
Native Prairie Plants in Phytoremediation: Sucesses, Limitations, and Knowledge Gaps
Resource
Phytoremediation, the use of plants to remove, degrade or stabilize sites contaminated with organic or toxic chemicals is gaining in popularity as an alternative and economical technique in...
