Objective of is to provide a comprehensive listing of reports relating to the socio-economic and environmental aspects of the development of the Athabasca oil sands; contains about 1900 references

There were few significant differences among provenances for any of the native species. This suggests that genotypic differences were small among the populations tested.

Species performances were generally poor in the species adaptability trials at Cadomin. Contrastingly, most species performed reasonably well in the species adaptability trial at Mildred Lake
