Aboveground plants provide resources to the belowground microbial community via plant litter and, in turn, the belowground microbial community provides nutrients for plant uptake, linking the two...
Resource
Linear disturbances such as powerline rights of way, seismic lines and roads are common in areas of intensive resource development. Roads that bisect wetlands can alter their hydrologic connectivity...

Nitrogen and complete fertilizer applications improved growth of white spruce on overburden sites. Fertilization did not, however, have an effect on lodgepole pine growth on tailings sand sites
Resource
Both aspen and spruce grew on sites with very high salinity and pH deeper in the soil profile (i.e., 40-100cm), so long as surface soils were not highly saline and had adequate moisture and nutrients.

These fact sheets highlight plant, soil, and water indicators and key ecological benefits of each of the five major wetlands types.

Over 500,000 oil and gas wells have been drilled in Alberta. Recently updated peatland restoration criteria for well-pads creates incentive for peatland restoration, but little is known about...

This thesis is comprising two studies characterizing nutrient dynamics within the Athabasca Oil Sands region (AOS) of Alberta. The first study simultaneously examined and compared nutrient (nitrogen...

Vulnerability to climate change of more than 170 of Alberta’s native species is assessed on the basis of exposure and sensitivity to change
Resource
Forest floor mineral soil mix had significantly greater soil microbial functional diversity than peat mineral soil mix. CWD increased microbial biomass and microbial functional diversity in both soil

The deeper soil salvage depth (40 cm) was better than the shallow salvage depth (15 cm) at establishing a forest understory plant community characteristic of the boreal forest.

The Athabasca oil sands are a significant component of the economy in Alberta. However, they also represent a large environmental risk. At the end of mining operations, companies are expected to begin...

Bromacil and tebuthiuron are herbicides used from the 1960s to 1990s on industrial sites to control vegetation. Approximately 61,750 sites are considered contaminated when comparing total herbicide...

Saline boreal fens represent potential models for post-mining landscape reclamation in the Athabasca Oil Sands Region (AOSR) (Canada) where wetland construction is challenged by salinization. One of...

The sustainability of a landscape and its host community post-mining depends on careful and effective mine closure and reclamation planning. Such planning has the potential to support the renewal of...

I I tested forest floor protection techniques in the construction and reclamation of temporary drilling pads to restore native boreal canopy and understory cover. By covering and delineating the...

In this study, phospholipid fatty acids (PLFA) and carbon isotopes were used to characterize the response of in situ microbial communities to a pilot-scale wetland reclamation project in the Alberta...
