Site Clearing & Soil Handling for Reclamation of Conventional Wellsites
Resource
Upon abandonment, wellsites must be reclaimed to the standards as described in Alberta’s 2010 Reclamation Criteria for Wellsites and Associated Facilities in Forested Lands. The initial planning and...
Site Preparation: Application of Rough and Loose Mounding and Furrowing (RipPlow) on a Wood Mulched Site
Resource
The practice of mulching forested sites for industrial activities during winter operations is a useful construction practice as it minimizes soil disturbance by protecting the forest floor. However...
Soil Bio-Engineering for Site Restoration
Resource
Increasing use and/or degradation of ecosystems requires development of effective strategies for restoration. Urban developments, industrial uses, including mining, oil and gas and forestry, as well...
Source or Sink? Meta-analysis Reveals Diverging Controls of Phosphorus Retention and Release in Restored and Constructed Wetlands
Resource
Wetland restoration is a popular nutrient management strategy for improving water quality in agricultural catchments. However, a wetland’s ability to retain phosphorus is highly variable and wetlands...
Spatial Patterns and Mass Balance of Sodium in Near-surface Peat of a Constructed Fen
Resource
At the Nikanotee Fen Watershed, a pioneering reclamation project in the Athabasca Oil Sands Region, elevated sodium (Na+) in the porewater of mine-waste materials has been shown to migrate to the fen...
Spatial Variation in Nutrient Dynamics Among Five Different Peatland Types in the Alberta Oil Sands Region
Resource
Wetlands are found extensively throughout the Western Boreal Plain, a region under pressure because of disturbance by the oil and gas industries. To understand how wetland systems may respond to...
Special Considerations in Herbicide Use
Resource
Vegetation management is critical to establishing desirable plant species and to achieving reclamation objectives. This resource is one of four technical notes on vegetation management for reclamation...
Subsurface Water Chemistry in Mined Land Reclamation; Key to Development of a Productive Post-mining Landscape
Resource
In reconstructing the landscape during reclamation the sequence and methods of placement of overburden material determine the post-mining subsurface-water chemistry. The type of material at various...
Temperature, Moisture and Freeze–thaw Controls on CO2 Production in Soil Incubations From Northern Peatlands
Resource
Peat accumulation in high latitude wetlands represents a natural long-term carbon sink, resulting from the cumulative excess of growing season net ecosystem production over non-growing season (NGS)...
