Emerging Issues – Land Degradation
Resource
Problems associated with soil degradation have, in some parts of Canada, reached crisis proportions. Combatting these problems is a complex task involving the consideration of social, economic, and...
Enhanced Revegetation and Reclamation of Oil Sands Disturbed Sites Using Actinorhizal and Mycorrhizal Biotechnology
Resource
Preliminary results, after two growth seasons, show promise in the use of pre-inoculated seedlings in enhancing growth and establishment of alders and conifers on oil sands reclamation sites.
Ensuring Long-Term Productivity of Forest Ecosystems
Resource
One of the goals of forest management is to sustain site productivity so that repeated harvests can be undertaken without loss in growth potential. Canada promotes the development of sustainable...
Environmental and Ecological Footprint of Seismic Lines in Alberta

Environmental and Management Drivers of Carbon Dioxide and Methane Emissions From Actively-Extracted Peatlands in Alberta, Canada
Resource
The installation of drainage ditches and removal of vegetation in preparation for vacuum harvesting alters the carbon dynamics of peatlands. However, we lack the measurements to understand the spatial...
Environmental Effects on Host Selection and Dispersal of Mountain Pine Beetle
Resource
We investigated the influence of landscape heterogeneity on processes that could influence the dispersal of mountain pine beetle, Dendroctonus ponderosae. Host tree quality, as measured by tree...
