This proof of concept assessment helps understand better market opportunities associated with biodiversity management in Alberta’s agricultural lands. Land management can increase biodiversity.

Results suggest that even as practices and policies evolve, reclamation does not fully alleviate the legacy effects of industrial disturbance. Trait-based approaches can inform recovery assessment.

This report provides the monitoring protocols for grassland wellsites.

This report provides the monitoring protocols for forested land wellsites.

This report provides the monitoring protocols for cultivated land wellsites.

This report describes several specialized monitoring techniques that were evaluated during the Ecological Recovery Monitoring Program Pilot.

The Ecological Recovery Monitoring Program should be implemented in stages to allow for incorporation of learnings and additional research to support design of protocols for new disturbance types.

Good statistical agreement between key structural vegetation parameters, such as mean and maximum vegetation height, with PPC metrics successfully predicting most height and tree-diameter metrics.

Data show that for many vegetation and soil indicators, wellsite development impacts are long lasting and may remain for 30 years or more after reclamation.

This ecosystem service modelling system allows stakeholders to evaluate the opportunities and trade-offs to make informed decisions for achieving land-use planning goals.
