Evaluating Seed Surface Disinfection Methods Using a New Apparatus
Resource
Results of germination experiments can be affected by contamination of seeds by fungi and bacteria. Seed surface disinfection is a useful method of reducing seed contamination.
Evaluating the Hydrological Response of a Boreal Fen Following the Removal of a Temporary Access Road
Resource
Removal and reclamation should be considered as a worthwhile venture for roads that extend through fens and are no longer in use.
Evaluating the Revegetation Success of Foothills Fescue Grassland
Resource
Seeding fescue grassland is often associated with low emergence and poor establishment. Alternative methods for re-vegetating fescue grassland include fescue plugs and the use of native hay. Each...
Evaluation of Reclamation Practices on Upland and Peatland Wellsites
Resource
Need for clear direction on information required to support professional justification which describes why specific deficiencies will not have long term adverse environmental impacts and/or affect ELC
Evaluation of Substrate and Amendment Materials for Soil Reclamation at a Diamond Mine in the Northwest Territories, Canada
Resource
Mine waste materials with potential for use in soil construction at a diamond mine in the Northwest Territories were evaluated to address physical and chemical limitations for plant establishment...
Experimental Design for Estimating White-Tailed Deer Occupancy, Density, and Habitat Selection in Alberta’s Boreal Forest
Resource
In this year we analyzed the study landscape using GIS, reclassified AVI data into deer habitat categories, and created the experimental design for sampling deer occupancy using remote cameras. We...
Fact Sheet - Blue Grama
Resource
This Fact Sheet provides basic information on germination, species description, ecology, agronomy, revegetation uses, and the market for blue grama ( Bouteloua gracilis).
Fact Sheet - Indian Rice Grass
Resource
This Fact Sheet provides basic information on germination, species description, ecology, agronomy, revegetation uses, and the market for Indian rice grass ( Eriocoma hymenoides).
Fact Sheet - June Grass
Resource
This Fact Sheet provides basic information on species description, ecology, agronomy, revegetation uses, and the market for June grass ( Koeleria macrantha).
Fact Sheet - Nodding Brome Grass
Resource
This Fact Sheet provides basic information on germination, species description, ecology, agronomy, revegetation uses, and the market for nodding brome grass ( Bromus porteri), aka Porter's brome.
Factors Influencing the Native Species Invasion of a Reclaimed Subalpine Minesite Near Grande Cache, Alberta
Resource
Factors affecting native species invasion were studied on a subalpine minesite (Smoky River Coal Limited No. 8 Mine) in the vicinity of Grande Cache, Alberta. The site had been revegetated with...
Factors that Result in Sustainable Forest Ecosystem Development on Padded Sites in Peatlands: Pilot Study
Resource
The pilot study validated the research questions, sampling design, measurement and data analysis methods developed for a large‐scale study, with some minor amendments.
Forage Quality of Seeded Native Grasses in the Fall Season on the Canadian Prairie Provinces
Resource
There is renewed interest in re-seeding native grasses in the prairie region of western Canada but there is limited information on their forage quality for fall grazing. We evaluated forage quality in...
Forest Ecosystem Monitoring in Saskatchewan and Alberta: Identification of Aquatic Elements and Sampling Protocols
Resource
This chapter describes aquatic elements and sampling protocols that could be used to monitor forested stream ecosystems in Alberta and Saskatchewan
Governance as a Driver of Change in the Canadian Boreal Zone
Resource
The Canadian boreal forest is primarily public land, owned and managed by provincial governments on behalf of the public interest. Boreal forest governance consists of a complex patchwork of federal...
Graminoids Vary in Functional Traits, Carbon Dioxide and Methane Fluxes in a Restored Peatland: Implications for Modeling Carbon Storage
Resource
One metric of peatland restoration success is the re-establishment of a carbon sink, yet considerable uncertainty remains around the timescale of carbon sink trajectories. Conditions post-restoration...
Groundwater in Peat and Peatlands
Resource
Peatlands are wetlands with soil comprised of undecomposed remains of plants that accumulate in such a way that both responds to and controls the flux and storage of surface water and groundwater, as...
Groundwater Monitoring Near Oil Sands Development: Insights From Regional Water Quality Datasets in the Alberta Oil Sands Region (AOSR)
Resource
Groundwater quality data for the AOSR are compiled and interpreted to provide information on regional water quality to inform groundwater monitoring and land use planning. A database of 546 water...
