A Proposed Evaluation System for Wildlife Habitat Reclamation in the Mountains and Foothills Biomes of Alberta: Proposed Methodology and Assessment Handbook
Resource
Although the capability currently exists to reclaim disturbed areas as wildlife habitat, no guidelines have been developed for evaluating success of wildlife habitat reclamation efforts
A Review of the International Literature on Mine Spoil Subsidence
Resource
Differential subsidence of reclaimed surfaces has been demonstrated to create water—holding depressions that disrupt farming operations and to cause pavement distress in roads crossing reclaimed areas
A Summary of Land Resource and Groundwater Issues Related to Plains Coal Mine Reclamation in Alberta
Resource
Report synthesizes and summarizes 36 RRTAC reports to provide the user with a unified source of information on land and groundwater reclamation research in the plains of Alberta
A User Guide to Pit and Quarry Reclamation in Alberta
Resource
Important considerations in reclamation planning and methods for reclamation are described for: agriculture, forestry, wildlife habitat, fish habitat, recreation, and residential/industrial use
An Assessment of Sampling Designs Using SCR Analyses to Estimate Abundance of Boreal Caribou
Resource
Abstract Accurately estimating abundance is a critical component of monitoring and recovery of rare and elusive species. Spatial capture–recapture (SCR) models are an increasingly popular method for...
Assessing Design Flows and Sediment Discharge on the Eastern Slopes
Resource
Document provides an evaluation of currently available rainfall runoff sediment production methodologies, identifies key parameters, and outlines field programs to gather data for model calibration
Assessing the Suitability of a One-time Sampling Event for Close-kin Mark-recapture: A Caribou Case Study
Resource
Abstract Abundance estimation is frequently an objective of conservation and monitoring initiatives for threatened and other managed populations. While abundance estimation via capture–mark–recapture...
Baseline Growth Performance Levels and Assessment Procedure for Commercial Tree Species in Alberta’s Mountains and Foothills
Resource
data were used to define reasonable expectations of early growth performance under prevailing environmental conditions, as a basis for evaluating the success of reforestation following coal mining
Biting Flies and Activity of Caribou in the Boreal Forest
Resource
Habitat loss has been implicated in the decline of forest-dwelling caribou ( Rangifer tarandus caribou), but it is unknown how biting insects, potentially important components of boreal forest habitat...
Catalogue of Technologies for Reducing the Environmental Impact of Fine Tailings from Oil Sand Processing
Resource
A catalogue containing 22 technologies for reducing the environmental impact of fine tailings derived from oil sand processing has been assembled
Characterization and Variability of Soil Reconstructed after Surface Mining in Central Alberta
Resource
Reconstructed soils representing different materials handling and replacement techniques were characterized and variability in chemical and physical properties was assessed
Chemical Characterization of Various Oil Sands Substrates
Resource
This report is a condensed version of two reports on the chemistry of a variety of oil sands substrates from Syncrude, Suncor, OSLO and SolvEx.
Deciduous Tree Species Classification Using Object-Based Analysis and Machine Learning with Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Multispectral Data
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...
Development of Genomic Resources for Cattails (Typha), a Globally Important Macrophyte Genus
Resource
A critical knowledge gap in freshwater plant research is the lack of genetic tools necessary to answer fundamental questions about their demographic histories, adaptation and phylogenetic...
DNA Metabarcoding of Faecal Pellets Reveals High Consumption of Yew (Taxus spp.) by Caribou (Rangifer tarandus) in a Lichen-poor Environment
Resource
Woodland caribou ( Rangifer tarandus caribou) are threatened in Canada because of the drastic decline in population size caused primarily by human-induced landscape changes that decrease habitat and...
Does Connectivity Exist for Remnant Boreal Caribou (Rangifer tarandus caribou) Along the Lake Superior Coastal Range? Options for Landscape Restoration
Resource
Study of whether animal movement can be discerned, using genetic population and relatedness analyses, within and beyond the Lake Superior Coastal Range.
Ectomycorrhizae of Jack Pine and Green Alder: Assessment of the Need for Inoculation, Development of Inoculation Techniques and Outplanting Trials on Oil Sand Tailings
Resource
The overall objectives of these studies were to characterize the mycorrhizal status of jack pine and green alder which are prime candidates as reclamation species for oil sand tailings
