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

Reclamation of the land surface is what makes non-renewable resource developments sustainable. We must continue to strive to improve our science so that we can prove to regulators and the public that

Alberta’s industrial land conservation and reclamation program developed over 48 yr from an initial focus on surface debris removal and safety to increasing emphasis on returning ecological function

If you are planning or undertaking revegetation using long-lived species such as trees then you should be giving some consideration to the environment they may experience in the future

In this paper, we review the development of Phase II Assessments and Phase III Remediation science over the last thirty years: what aspects have improved, and what aspects have not improved.

Benefits of research cooperation include reduced costs, shared expertise, ease of site access and a commitment by both parties to implementation of the results.

This 2 volume report contains 86 papers presented at an international reclamation conference

Recommendations for rehabilitation and reclamation of soils contaminated by bromacil include use of activated carbon, manure, wet- dry soil cycles, and plant seedlings to enhance adsorption, and plant

This book is written to help assess how effectively we have, or are, conserving our land base and providing the stewardship required to pass our legacy on to our progeny.

The development of integrated geomatics and remote sensing technologies for environmental management holds promise to meet economic diversification and effective environmental management.

Differential subsidence of reclaimed surfaces has been demonstrated to create water—holding depressions that disrupt farming operations and to cause pavement distress in roads crossing reclaimed areas

The manual includes information on forty-four grasses, fourteen forbs and thirty-five trees and shrubs. The summary, presented in tabular form, provides, for key reclamation parameters,

Topsoil storage does not appear to have any severe and long term effect on topsoil quality. Chemical changes can be rectified with the judicious use of chemical fertilizers or manure. Physical changes

Important considerations in reclamation planning and methods for reclamation are described for: agriculture, forestry, wildlife habitat, fish habitat, recreation, and residential/industrial use

Organic amendments reviewed included animal manures, crop residues, peat, wood waste, sewage sludge, municipal yard waste, humates, vermicomposts and spent mushroom compost. The effect of these organi

Part 1 of this manual is a background and explanatory section that describes the terminology used in soil surveys and presents the assumptions and conventions upon which the interpretations are based

Part 2 presents typical data and interpretations for each soil series in Alberta. The interpretations were made by applying the guidelines in Part 1, and checking the results against experience

To assess climatic and soil conditions under which salts will move out of the root zone in a soil disturbed by a pipeline and to determine the rate at which salts will move in disturbed soils.

Summary of a survey to determine the reclamation research needs of organizations/industries in Alberta that are involved with industrial disturbances and to prioritize research needs.

This document provides the full list of reports published by the Reclamation Research Technical Advisory Committee from 1979 to 1994
