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

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 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 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

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

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

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

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

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

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

This glossary was prepared to provide those working in the field of reclamation in Alberta with a standardized set of definitions for reclamation terms.

We developed a scientifically robust and financially sustainable monitoring protocol to enable a consistent assessment of ecological recovery at reclaimed industrial wellsites in forested lands

LFH salvaged with small amounts of upper horizon mineral soil for land reclamation has proven to be an important source of seeds and vegetative propagules for forest plant communities

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

To encourage discussion on Aboriginal participation in land reclamation and to continue identifying mechanisms to incorporate Aboriginal perspectives into land reclamation

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

Chemical characteristics of sludge, and precautions required to protect workers, were considered major obstacles to success. However, the physical soil characteristics created by the sludge were worse

Remediation professionals, regulators, industry and stakeholders must begin discussions to resolve uncertainty around oil sands COPCs so that efforts can be focused on solving the “real” problem
