Objective - develop a collective understanding of the scope of sites impacted by soil sterilants (bromacil and tebuthiuron) and the specific challenges associated with their remediation and management

Canada has extensive forests and peatlands that play key roles in global carbon cycle. Canadian soils and peatlands are assumed to store approximately 20% of the world’s soil carbon stock. However...

In summer 2013 field crews spent five weeks sampling soil and vegetation indicators at 18 wellsites and adjacent reference sites in the Dry Mixedgrass subregion of Alberta

From1999 to 2015, human activity in Alberta visibly converted over 23,000 km2 of native ecosystems into residential, recreational, or industrial landscapes

As of 2015, 29.2% of Alberta is under human footprint, up from 25.7% in 1999—that’s an average increase of about 0.22%, or around 1450 km2 (560 sections) per year.

These results suggest that restoring caribou habitat to nearly unaltered conditions may help to slow white-tail expansion, reduce predator densities, and, by extension, ,lower predation on caribou.

With the support of Alberta Environment and Parks, the Alberta Biodiversity Monitoring Institute has become the trusted source for data about habitat, species, and the human footprint.

This document provides decision-making criteria to assist in various aspects of roadway design and operation for management of sustainable road systems

Long-term monitoring of some sites would ultimately be needed to show that recovering wellsites are on a trajectory that consistently leads to full recovery.
