Planting trees is an important step in re-establishing functioning forest ecosystems after industrial land disturbances. Conventional planting practices create forests with evenly spaced trees, at low...

This guidebook explains mounding – a silviculture technique for preparing a site for reclamation. The Natural Resources Canada Canadian Forest Service developed this guidebook to help with the...

Low-impact seismic (LIS) techniques were developed to reduce the environmental footprint of oil exploration. Though relatively narrow (~2–3 m) and constructed with light-weight equipment, these lines...

This resource is available on an external database and may require a paid subscription to access it. It is included on the CCLM to support our goal of capturing and sharing the breadth of all...

Species loss caused by anthropogenic disturbance threatens forest ecosystems globally. Until 50 years ago, the major sources of boreal forest disturbance in western Canada were a combination of forest...

The Forest Floor Recovery Index (FFRI) aims to assess ecosystem recovery using changes in forest floor properties during stand development following reclamation. Modeled predictions from the Carbon...

Most of Canada’s natural resource development (i.e., forestry, oil and gas, and mining activities) occurs in the boreal forest. These industrial activities lead to extensive land disturbances that...

This guidebook explains soil decompaction in great deal. It is a silviculture practice that can be used when preparing a site for reclamation. Natural Resources Canada, Canadian Forest Service (NRCan...

Salinity tolerance is an important adaptive trait for land reclamation, particularly after petroleum extraction from the Athabasca oil sands “gigaproject” in western Canada. We compared survival...
