Proceedings of the 2013 Northern Latitudes Mining Reclamation Workshop and 38 th Annual Meeting of the Canadian Land Reclamation Association. Whitehorse, Yukon, September 9 – 12, 2013

NRCan pilot science projects have proven that Earth Observation can provide relevant and valuable information to inform and enhance monitoring and support regulatory frameworks

Consolidate information on known methods of reclaiming wildlife habitat in the mountain and foothills biomes and to develop methods of assessing reclamation success for certification

Effects of amendments on growth of trees and grasses and establishment of mycorrhizae in coal and oil sands reconstructed soils

Soil microorganisms and their activities are the major vectors in the decomposition of plant litter and the subsequent transformation and flow of such essential plant nutrients as nitrogen and phospho

Purpose was: to obtain information on propagation of certain native and exotic woody plants; synthesize the information at the species level by method of propagation; and recommend further studies

The objectives of the study are to provide recommendations on the most suitable methods for establishing and maintaining self-sustaining and productive plant communities in the Alberta tar sands area

The objective of the study was the definition of physical and chemical soil properties required to support the forest ecosystems which are the targets of oil sands tailings reclamation research

The workshop format was chosen as a means of focussing the attentions of individuals with a wide range of expertise on the specific problem of reconstructing forest soils in reclamation

The workshop recorded in these proceedings was organized as the first step in developing a Native Shrub Research Program for reclamation.
