Effect of Grasses and Soil Amendments on Soil Aggregates and Aggregate Strength
Resource
Four solum and subsoil materials from Alberta were treated to determine if soil aggregation and aggregate strength could be increased to reduce succeptibility to soil compaction. Each soil was treated...
Effect of Liming on Ni Bioavailability and Toxicity to Oat and Soybean Grown in Field Soils Containing Aged Emissions from a Ni Refinery
Resource
Mitigating toxicity of soil Ni through liming might manifest itself through lower bioavailability of soil Ni, thus lower tissue concentrations of Ni. Bioavailability of dissolved metals is reduced as...
Effect of Pipeline Construction on Soil Compaction in Alberta
Resource
No clear relationships emerged between soil Orders, zones, or soil parent materials and the effect of pipeline construction on soil compaction. Soil moisture conditions appear to be more important.
Effect of Pipeline Construction on Soil Strengths of Soil Horizons in Alberta: 1990 Final Report
Resource
At each of the fifteen 1989 study areas and at each of the eight 1988 study areas soil strength was monitored using a cone penetrometer in 15 cm depth increments to a depth of 52.5 cm.
Effect of Seed Production and Soil Scarification on the Natural Regeneration of a Second-Growth Fir Stand in the Lower St. Lawrence Region
Resource
This study examines the relationship between seed production, soil scarification and seedling establishment in balsam fir ( Abies balsamea [L.] Mill.) and white spruce ( Picea glauca [Moench] Voss)...
Effective Strategies for the Restoration of Disturbed Sites
Resource
Understanding the ecology of recovery processes allows effective restoration strategies for disturbed sites to be developed. Since pioneering species occur over broad ecological and geographic ranges...
Effectiveness of Soil Conservation Procedures on Recent Major Pipeline Construction in Western Canada
Resource
The effectiveness of a soil conservation method employed on recent major pipeline construction in Western Canada was investigated. Prior to any major construction activities, topsoil was salvaged over...
Effects of 2023 Wildfires in Alberta
Resource
Fires are a natural occurrence in Alberta’s forests. In boreal and montane forests, fires—along with other natural disturbances such as insect outbreaks and disease—create a mosaic of stands of...
Effects of Air Pollutants on the Forest Ecosystem: A Review
Resource
Alberta is in a fortunate situation because most of its soils are underlain by calcareous bedrock and can, therefore, neutralize in-coming acids more efficiently than Canadian Shield areas
Effects of Cell Size and Spacing on Root Density and Field Performance of Container-Reared Black Spruce
Resource
This study examined the effects of nursery rearing in an array of 51 individual fabricated frames that supported a range of six growing cell sizes at 11 plant spacings in all possible combinations. A...
Effects of Cold Stratification on the Germination of Vaccinium myrtilloides (Common Blueberry) and Vaccinium vitis-idaea (Bog Cranberry) Seeds from Alberta, Canada
Resource
This resource is available on an external database and may require a paid subscription to access it. It is included on the CCLM to support our goal of capturing and sharing the breadth of all...
Effects of Elemental Sulfur on Soil pH and Growth of Saskatoon Berry (Amelanchier alnifolia) and Beaked Hazelnut (Corylus cornuta) Seedlings
Resource
The land disturbed by open-pit oil sands mining must be restored to support the survival and growth of native boreal plants. Because tailings sand and sodic shale overburden are commonly used as an...
Effects of Harvesting Methods on Soil Properties and Forest Productivity in Interior British Columbia
Resource
Seven treatment units in three different clearcut blocks in the Golden Forest District were studied to assess overall soil disturbance levels resulting from ground-based harvesting using two methods...
Effects of Land Use on the Structure and Function of Leaf-litter Microbial Communities in Boreal Streams
Resource
Microbial communities associated with leaf litter in streams provide key ecosystem services through the cycling of energy and nutrients that can be influenced by environmental factors. We examined the...
Effects of Natural Land Cover, Anthropogenic Disturbance, Space, and Climate on Oribatid Mite Communities in Canada’s Oil Sands Region
Resource
Soil contains a diverse fauna and microflora that are vital for maintaining healthy soils and their various ecosystem services. Oribatid mites are typically highly abundant arthropods in the soil and...
Effects of Oil and Gas Development on Grassland Birds
Resource
Grassland bird populations have declined significantly over the past century, largely due to anthropogenic habitat loss and degradation. It is estimated that approximate 20% of original native...
Effects of Partial Cutting on the Incidences of Tree Wounding, Microbial Succession and Tree Mortality
Resource
One of the challenges of partial cutting operations is minimizing damage to residual trees. In these types of cuts, large pieces of forestry equipment must be manoeuvred in somewhat confined spaces...
Effects of Population, Environment and their Interaction on Saskatoon Berry (Amelanchier alnifolia Nutt.) Seed Germination
Resource
To determine the effects of population, environment and their interaction on the variability of seed germination, seeds of 27 random native Alberta populations of Saskatoon berry ( Amelanchier...
