A Guide to Mounding
Resource
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...
A Guide to Natural Regeneration and Seeding
Resource
Seeding is less reliable than planting, and natural regeneration even less so, but these regeneration methods may be suitable, low-cost alternatives on some reclaimed sites. both seeding and natural...
A Guide to Planting
Resource
Planting is a highly reliable method to ensure the establishment of target species at desired densities on reclaimed sites. It allows direct control over the species, spacing and timing of...
A Guide to Planting Trees for Urban Residents
Resource
This is a guide to planting trees for urban residents. Trees are important to our quality of life. They clean and freshen the air by taking in carbon dioxide, storing carbon, giving off oxygen and...
A Guide to Regeneration Planning
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...
A Guide to 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.
A Guide to Site Preparation
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.
A Guide to Site Preparation
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...
A Guide to Soil Decompaction
Resource
Soil compaction frequently results from industrial disturbance on mineral soils, whether due to infrastructure or equipment traffic. Soil compaction tends to be most severe on sites with high clay...
A Guide to Soil Salvage
Resource
Soil salvage is a pre-disturbance technique to conserve a site's topsoil, which is critical for maintaining nutrient cycling, organic matter, soil biota and plant propagules. In some cases, subsoil...
A Guide to the Canadian National Vegetation Classification Associations of the Eastern North American Boreal Forest Macrogroup M495
Resource
Upland boreal forest communities (Associations) of Eastern Canada are classified within Macrogroup M495 [Eastern North American Boreal Forest] of the Canadian National Vegetation Classification (CNVC)...
A Guide to the Common Mosses and Liverworts of Alberta
Resource
This resource is a publication available externally for purchase in order to access it. It is included on the CCLM to support our goal of capturing and sharing the breadth of all available knowledge...
A Guide to Vegetation Control
Resource
Vegetation management is a critical component of a successful reclamation program. Reclamation activities following industrial disturbances can make many sites vulnerable to ingress by undesirable...
A Laboratory Study of Long-term Effects of Mine Depressurization Groundwater on Fish and Invertebrates
Resource
Mine depressurization groundwater was acutely toxic to the three species of invertebrates tested. The 90 d LC50 was 8.5 to 9% for rainbow trout, 13.2% for lake chub, and 5.8% for white suckers.
A Life Cycle Approach to Vegetation Management on Reclaimed Industrial Sites
Resource
This resource is an excerpt from an issue of Canadian Reclamation (Issue 4, Vol 14) containing and article advising practitioners on best practices for vegetation management using the Life Cycle...
A Lodgepole Pine Commercial Thinning Trial in Kananaskis, Alberta: 58-Year Results
Resource
In 1941, the Canadian Forestry Service (CFS) established a commercial thinning trial in a 77-year-old lodgepole pine-dominated stand near Kananaskis, Alberta. Seventy percent of the total volume was...
A Longitudinal Physico-chemical and Algal Survey of Five Rivers Flowing Through the AOSERP Study Area
Resource
Diatoms and blue-green algae dominated numericallyin five tributary rivers flowing into the Athabasca River except in the Hangingstone River where chlorophycean species replaced the latter group
A Multi-stakeholder Approach for Developing Mine Reclamation Guidelines
Resource
CEMA, a multi-stakeholder organisation advising the provincial and federal governments, is committed to respectful, inclusive dialogue to make recommendations for cumulative effects management
A Plan for the Identification of Potentially Toxic Materials in the AOSERP Study Area
Resource
A co-ordinated plan is proposed for the identification of toxic emissions from oil sand developments in the AOSERP study area based on interviews with over 40 specialists in various fields
