Mounding is a highly versatile technique for addressing site conditions that may limit forest recovery on a wide range of reclamation sites. The technique is particularly useful on wet and cool sites...
Resource
A common goal of reclamation in the boreal forest is to establish diverse, native plant communities that are suited to the site's conditions and are on track to become a forest. Regeneration planning...
Resource
Regeneration planning is key to ensuring the establishment of target vegetation rather than undesired competitors. Careful planning can accelerate regeneration by 5-10 years or more.
Resource
The footprint left by infrastructure and equipment can create different challenges for establishing vegetation. The best site preparation method depends on the limiting factors present.
Resource
Reclaiming industrial sites in Alberta's boreal forest is not always a straightforward process. The footprints left by infrastructure and equipment are often characterized by compacted mineral soils...

We quantified rates of intake of digestible protein and digestible energy by tame caribou foraging in temporary enclosures in the predominant plant communities of northeastern British Columbia, Canada, during summer–autumn and compared intake rates to daily requirements for protein and energy during lactation. Our results,coupled with recent measurements of body fat of wild caribou innortheastern British Columbia, refute the hypothesis that thenutritional environment available to caribou during summer innortheastern British Columbia is adequate to fully support nutri-tional demands of lactating caribou, which has implications toproductivity of caribou populations, recovery, and conservation.
