Oil and gas activities in Alberta require disturbing forested lands, among other ecosystems, in order to extract resources. Due to the number of oil and gas sites requiring reclamation, monitoring can...

In this study, phospholipid fatty acids (PLFA) and carbon isotopes were used to characterize the response of in situ microbial communities to a pilot-scale wetland reclamation project in the Alberta...

The Athabasca oil sands are a significant component of the economy in Alberta. However, they also represent a large environmental risk. At the end of mining operations, companies are expected to begin...

The research reported here aims to characterise and compare different planting methods in terms of which would be more successful for achieving the regeneration of dwarf fleshy-fruited shrubs on...

Landscape disturbance is typically synonymous with habitat loss and fragmentation, and subsequent biodiversity loss. However, the effects of landscape disturbance vary among species and disturbance...

Quantifying the relative influence of multiple mechanisms driving recent range expansion of non-native species is essential for predicting future changes and for informing adaptation and management...

White-tailed deer expansion in the boreal forest is due to an interaction between less severe winters following climate change, and a substantial forage subsidy provided by widespread anthropogenic features

We used information from the Alberta Biodiversity Monitoring Institute (ABMI) on birds, plants, human footprint, and vegetation, plus information from Dr. Bayne on birds, to test a new method for...

Given the potential for moisture limited conditions due to the sub-humid regional climate, ensuring sufficient water availability in these landscapes is a principal concern. This research demonstrates...

The upland and wetlands substrate in reclaimed oil sands landforms will be constructed of post-mining materials with an objective of replicating the landscape and hydrology of the surrounding boreal...
