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...
Length of Cold Stratification Period Affects Germination in Green alder (Alnus viridis (Chaix) DC. subsp. crispa (Aiton) Turrill) Seed Collected from Northwestern Alberta
Resource
Abstract: Alnus viridis (Chaix) DC. subsp. crispa (Aiton) Turrill (Betulaceae), commonly known as green alder or mountain alder, is a boreal shrub used to revegetate disturbed lands because of its...
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...
Linear Feature Restoration in Boreal Wetlands
Resource
This presentation discusses linear feature disturbances or boreal peatlands and reclamation trials of various sites. Presented at the NAIT 7th Seminar on Linear Disturbance Impacts on Boreal Wetland...
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...

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...
Making Sites Rough and Loose: A Soil Adjustment Technique
Resource
Rough and loose surface treatments provide an effective way to control erosion and create conditions that promote the revegetation of the site. By creating topographic heterogeneity the rough and...
