Key Factors in Developing and Implementing a Successful Mine Reclamation Plan - Denison Sites 20 Years After Closure
Resource
Developing and implementing a successful reclamation plan is dependent on a number of key factors, including defining clear objectives, assessing available options to meet those objectives, gathering...
Land Reclamation in the Sand and Gravel Mining Industry
Resource
Gravel is a very valuable natural resource because of its many uses as a construction material. It is the basic component of concrete and asphalt and is used by itself wherever pervious materials are...
Land-use Planning Following Resource Extraction – Lessons from Grizzly Bears at Reclaimed and Active Open Pit Mines
Resource
Following closure, access management on designated trails will reduce risk of conflicts. Imposing access restrictions, preserving undisturbed habitat patches and restoring original vegetation
Large Stocks of Peatland Carbon and Nitrogen are Vulnerable to Permafrost Thaw
Resource
Northern peatlands have accumulated large stocks of organic carbon (C) and nitrogen (N), but their spatial distribution and vulnerability to climate warming remain uncertain. Here, we used machine...
Limited Impacts of Extensive Human Land Use on Dominance, Specialization, and Biotic Homogenization in Boreal Plant Communities
Resource
Rank species occupancy curves revealed high species dominance regardless of disturbance: within any disturbance class a few species occupied nearly every site and most species were found in a low...
Long Term Prediction of Vegetation Performance on Mined Sands
Resource
This project on the "Long Term Prediction of Vegetation Performance On Mined Sands" (V.E.6.1) was undertaken to provide management with answers on the predictive ability to maintain different kinds of...

Low-impact Line Construction Retains and Speeds Recovery of Trees on Seismic Lines in Forested Peatlands
Resource
Seismic lines, linear features originating from the oil and gas industry for energy exploration, pose a substantial management challenge due to their collective impact on biogeochemical cycles, plant...
Low-impact Line Construction Retains and Speeds Recovery of Trees on Seismic Lines in Forested Peatlands
Resource
Abstract Seismic lines are linear features created by the oil and gas industry for energy exploration. Though individually narrow, collectively seismic lines are a pervasive management challenge...
LRIGS Online Forum - Anthroposols: Land Reclamation With Human Modified Soils
Event
Event Date and Time
March 14th, 2024 at 12:00pm MST to March 14th, 2024 at 1:30pm MST
Organization
Humans impact everything, including our soil. We remove, mix and compact soil horizons. We add amendments, including waste materials, to replace soil or improve its health. Soils that that have been...
Management of Canada’s Uranium and Uranium Mining Legacies on the Historic Northern Transportation Route
Resource
The Northern Transportation Route (NTR) was established in the 1930s to transport pitch blende ore 2,200 km from the Port Radium Mine in the Northwest Territories to Fort McMurray, Alberta. The ore...
Managing Wolves (Canis Lupus) to Recover Threatened Woodland Caribou (Rangifer Tarandus Caribou) in Alberta
Resource
Across Canada, woodland caribou ( Rangifer tarandus caribou (Gmelin, 1788)) populations are declining because of human-induced changes to food webs that are resulting in apparent competition-induced...
Managing Woody Materials on Industrial Sites: Meeting Economic, Ecological and Forest Health Goals
Resource
Leaving woody material on reclaimed sites introduces microsites and variability which serve as critical habitat for a range of native plant species, seedlings, and microorganisms for forest regen
Map Gallery: Climate Change Impact Projections for Boreal Songbirds
Resource
Bioclimatic niche models of current avian distribution and density for 80 boreal-breeding songbird species are mapped based on present counts and climate change models
