The Alberta Biodiversity Monitoring Program: Monitoring Aquatic Systems
Resource
Protocols for sampling biotic and abiotic parameters in large lakes, large rivers, wetlands, and streams in Alberta is provided. Estimates of time costs are given.
The Alberta Boreal Deer Project
Project
Contact
Alberta’s woodland caribou populations are declining, and wolf predation is considered a primary cause (Wittmer et al. 2005). Predation increases where seismic line density is high (ASRD 2010), so...
The Alberta Boreal Deer Project: 2013 Report to PTAC
Resource
Woodland caribou are declining in Alberta’s northeast, and increased predation following elevated wolf densities is implicated. Wolf numbers are increasing in part due to white-tailed deer, which...
The Application of Remote Sensing to Environmental Monitoring of the AOSERP Study Area. Volume 1
Resource
Concluded that false color infrared aerial photography acquired during the period of maximum foliage development is most valuable for vegetation mapping and the detection of environmental disturbance
The Application of Remote Sensing to Environmental Monitoring of the AOSERP Study Area. Volume 2
Resource
Figures and Tables associated with Volume 1
The Appropriateness of Using Aquatic Snails as Bioindicators of Toxicity for Oil Sands Process-Affected Water
Resource
Overall, the literature supports the potential for aquatic snails to act as bioindicators of toxicity associated with oil sands process-affected-water exposure.
The Assimilative Capacity of the Athabasca River for Organic Compounds
Resource
Provide a problem analysis of the goal to determine the assimilative capacity of the Athabasca River with special regard to organics
The Biophysical Climate Mitigation Potential of Boreal Peatlands During the Growing Season
Resource
Peatlands and forests cover large areas of the boreal biome and are critical for global climate regulation. They also regulate regional climate through heat and water vapour exchange with the...
The Ecology of Macrobenthic Invertebrate Communities in Hartley Creek, Northeastern Alberta
Resource
Hartley Creek, a tributary of the Muskeg River, has rich and diverse benthic fauna and is dominated numerically by Chironomidae but by Trichoptera in terms of biomass.
The Evaluation of Wastewaters from an Oil Sand Extraction Plant
Resource
Organic constituents of wastewaters from the existing Athabasca oil sands extraction plant were characterized and quantified. Twenty-one chemical parameters were determined on a total of ten samples
The Feasibility of a Weather Radar Near Fort McMurray, Alberta
Resource
The feasibility of a weather radar to map precipitation in the Alberta Oil Sands Environmental Research Program (AOSERP) study area near Fort McMurray, Alberta was investigated
The Impact of a Black Spruce (Picea mariana) Plantation on Carbon Exchange in a Cutover Peatland in Western Canada
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...
The Impact of Black Spruce (Picea mariana) Plantation on Carbon Exchange in a Cutover Peatland in Western Canada
Resource
This study determined the effect of a 7-year-old black spruce (Picea mariana) plantation on the carbon balance of a cutover peatland.
The Influence of Oil Sands Development on Trapping in the Fort McMurray Region
Resource
Registered trappers were 70 percent native; the average age was 46. The majority held other jobs concurrently, and spent less than two months on the trapline in 1975-76 (a low year on the fur cycle).
The Long Road to Protecting Critical Habitat for Species at Risk: The Case of Southern Mountain Woodland Caribou
Resource
Identifying habitat that is essential to the recovery of species at risk, known as critical habitat, is a major focus of species at risk legislation, yet there has been little research on the degree...
The Potential Supply of Carbon-related Ecosystem Services from Land Management Choices in Alberta’s Agricultural Lands
Resource
The results showed a pronounced variation in the historic supply of soil organic carbon and aboveground biomass in the watershed. Land management resulted in a diverse range of gains or losses.
The Use of a Long-acting Tranquilizer (Zuclopenthixol Acetate) and Live Video Monitoring for Successful Long-distance Transport of Caribou (Rangifer tarandus)
Resource
Long-distance transport of caribou ( Rangifer tarandus) can result in morbidities and mortalities. This case report describes the use of a long-acting tranquilizer, zuclopenthixol acetate (ZA) and...
The Use of Commercially-Produced Enzymes or Organic Amendments to Degrade Oil in Contaminated Soils
Resource
Commercially-produced enzymes were not effective in degrading oil in contaminated soil. Soil water repellency was reduced immediately by the enzyme treatment however it returned.
