CEMA, a multi-stakeholder organisation advising the provincial and federal governments, is committed to respectful, inclusive dialogue to make recommendations for cumulative effects management
Subject matter experts were asked to participate in a multi-year process to review, interpret and synthesise results on marsh (open water wetland) reclamation and research in the oil sands region
Wetland reclamation trends over time, wetland reclamation research, critical findings and the latest wetland reclamation initiatives, such as fen watershed research, design, construction and monitorin
Mycorrhizal fungi enable plants to thrive in the cold, waterlogged, organic soils of boreal peatlands and, with saprotrophic fungi, largely contribute to the sequestration of atmospheric carbon in...
The Vermillion River watershed region, found in central Alberta between Edmonton and Lloydminster, is home to residents and farmers who rely on the watershed for drinking water, agriculture, and...
