Peatland Restoration
Project
Contact
Organization:
Reclamation of altered landscapes in northern Alberta is becoming increasingly important as the regulatory requirement become more stringent. Oil and gas and forestry companies are liable for...
Peatland Wellsite Re-vegetation
Resource
Site re-vegetation is an important phase in peatland restoration. Prior to re-vegetating a peatland site, appropriate methods should be used to adjust the soil and address the hydrologic disturbance...
Petroleum Exploration Increases Methane Emissions from Northern Peatlands
Resource
Peatlands are globally significant sources of atmospheric methane (CH4). In the northern hemisphere, extensive geologic exploration activities have occurred to map petroleum deposits. In peatlands...
PhytoPet© – A Database of Plants that Play a Role in the Phytoremediation of Petroleum Hydrocarbons
Resource
The cold climate and short growing season characteristic of the major oil and gas producing regions of western Canada make it particularly important to conduct phytoremediation research on plants...
Plant and Seed Technologies
Project
Contact
Organization:
The Plant and Seed Technologies program is uniquely positioned to facilitate the delivery of native shrub, forb and graminoids species for reclamation by: assisting industry and practitioners in more...
Podcast - The Science of Growing Forests
Resource
Join host Aspen Dudzic in the latest episode of the Forestry Talks podcast, presented by the Alberta Forest Products Association, as she welcomes Dr. Amanda Schoonmaker, Research Chair for Colleges at...
Practices to Effectively Till Industrial Forest Soils
Resource
Minimizing the footprint of industrial operation on forest lands is an important goal for maintaining the integrity and sustainability of forest species and communities. Industrial operations and...
Predicting the Cumulative Effects of Human Development on Biodiversity in Northeastern Alberta
Resource
We used information from the Alberta Biodiversity Monitoring Institute (ABMI) on birds, plants, human footprint, and vegetation, plus information from Dr. Bayne on birds, to test a new method for...
Principles of Vegetation Management
Resource
Vegetation management is critical to establishing desirable plant species and to achieving reclamation objectives. This resource is one of four technical notes on vegetation management for reclamation...
Principles of Vegetation Management: Vegetation Management Treatments
Resource
Vegetation management is critical to establishing desirable plant species and to achieving reclamation objectives. This resource is one of four technical notes on vegetation management for reclamation...
PTAC Evaluation of Reclamation Practices on Forested Upland and Peatland Well Sites
Project
Contact
Organization:
In general, regulators expect that disturbed sites in the boreal forest will undergo complete reclamation (recontouring, soil replacement and revegetation) with the goal of returning the site to pre...
Reclamation and Restoration Plan Development
Resource
The site-specific data gathered throughout the life cycle of an upstream facility provides the basis for the integrated environmental management principles commonly applied for the reclamation of...
Reclamation of a Wood Chipped Winter Road: Application of the Peat Inversion Technique in a New Context
Resource
This research poster outlines site studies of the peat inversion technique for reclaiming wood chipped winter access roads, including project planning and site condition assessment, future...
Regional Habitat Needs of a Nationally Listed Species, Canada Warbler (Cardellina canadensis), in Alberta, Canada
Resource
Understanding factors that affect the distribution and abundance of species is critical to developing effective management plans for conservation. Our goal was to quantify the distribution and...
Removing In-Situ Footprint in Boreal Peatlands
Resource
Restoring peatlands in the in situ oil sands region of northern Alberta presents a set of challenges that have yet to be properly addressed. The lack of proven, cost-effective methods for restoring...
Removing the Wellsite Footprint: Recommended Practices for Construction and Reclamation of Wellsites on Upland Forests in Boreal Alberta
Resource
Wellsite reclamation criteria in Alberta have historically been based on a paradigm of returning land to equivalent land capability. Unfortunately, this paradigm has treated all landscapes as...
Restoration of Boreal Peatland Impacted by an In-situ Oil Sands Well-pad 1: Vegetation Response
Resource
The prompt introduction and establishment of peatland donor species through moss layer transfer technique was crucial to the overall re-establishment of peatland vegetation.

Organization
Forest dynamics in the Boreal are largely influenced by natural disturbances, in particular wildfire. Consequently, the use of post-disturbance patterns for forest management has been proposed as...
Revegetation of Fen Peatlands Following Oil and Gas Extraction in Northern Alberta
Resource
A field experiment from 2012 to 2013 at two locations in northeastern Alberta examined the short-term success of different fen revegetation strategies following the removal of infrastructure (road and...
