Continued Studies of Soil Improvement and Revegetation of Tailings Sand Slopes
Resource
Studies were continued in 1976 into the improvement of a five year old revegetated area on a tailings sand dike by the implementation of different fertilizer programs.
Controls on Plot-Scale Growing Season CO2 and CH4 Fluxes in Restored Peatlands: Do They Differ From Unrestored and Natural Sites?
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...
Dewatering Fine Tails by Evaporation: A Mathematical Modelling Approach
Resource
A one dimensional approach was used to model the evaporation process from fine tails. Understanding the complex interactions among the solids, water and external atmospheric demand is required
Differential Post-Fire Vegetation Recovery of Boreal Plains Bogs and Margins
Resource
Peatland margins are a distinct ecotone especially vulnerable to deep smouldering in the Boreal Plains because they can experience greater water table drawdown during dry periods compared to peatland...
Direct Planting of Poplar Stem Cuttings
Resource
Stem cuttings of balsam poplar and three poplar hybrids were directly planted onto reclamation material ontailings dyke slope. The overall rooting success was poor - direct planting is not recommended
Ecohydrology by Thinking Outside the Bog: Shifting Paradigms in an Era of Shifting Peatland Ecosystems
Resource
Large shifts in vegetation distributions are occurring worldwide and at unprecedented rates. The most extreme of these regime shifts are expected to occur at ecosystem boundaries of both semi-arid and...
Fisheries and Aquatic Habitat Investigations in the Mackay River Watershed of Northeastern Alberta
Resource
General objective of this study was to describe the baseline states of the fish component of the MacKay River watershed, the largest basin on the west side of the Athabasca River
Fisheries Survey of the Beaver Creek Diversion System, 1978
Resource
While a total of 11 species were encountered in the study area, only 6 were recorded in the upper diversion system (i.e., upstream of the Poplar Creek dam).
Global Guidelines for Peatland Rewetting and Restoration
Resource
The Convention on Wetlands (The Convention) and other national, regional and global policy frameworks promote the restoration of degraded peatlands. Rewetting peatland to reduce greenhouse gas...
Historical Resources Impact Assessment Lease No. 22 (ASA Permit No. 84-53)
Resource
In the course of the program, 7,608 shovel tests were excavated for the purpose of locating prehistoric sites in Syncrude's Bituminous Sands Lease No. 22.
Historical Resources Impact Assessment, Western Portion of Syncrude Lease No. 17, Alberta
Resource
This assessment was designed to locate and assess prehistoric and historic sites which might be present in the area between the Beaver and MacKay Rivers. Three prehistoric sites were recorded
Hybrid Poplars: The New Addition to Syncrude's Land Reclamation Species
Resource
Field survival and growth of three hybrid poplar varieties, Walker (Populus deltoides x Populus petrowskyana), Northwest (Populus deltoides x Populus balsamifera) and 38P38 (Populus balsamifera x...
Hydrological Functioning of a Constructed Peatland Watershed in the Athabasca Oil Sands Region: Potential Trajectories and Lessons Learned
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...
Improving Siberian Larch Seed Germination Rates
Resource
Cold stratification for two weeks at 5°C before germination showed no significant difference in the average percent germination between the stratified and unstratified seeds.
Increasing Contributions of Peatlands to Boreal Evapotranspiration in a Warming Climate
Resource
The response of evapotranspiration (ET) to warming is of critical importance to the water and carbon cycle of the boreal biome, a mosaic of land cover types dominated by forests and peatlands. The...
Integrated Surface-subsurface Water and Solute Modeling of a Reclaimed In-pit Oil Sands Mine: Effects of Ground Freezing and Thawing
Resource
The upland and wetlands substrate in reclaimed oil sands landforms will be constructed of post-mining materials with an objective of replicating the landscape and hydrology of the surrounding boreal...
