Dissipation of Bromacil in Humic Luvic Gleysols in Northwestern Alberta
Resource
Dissipation of bromacil in Humic Luvic Gleysols amended with cow manure was evaluated at two sites in northwestern Alberta from 1984 to 1987
Ecosystem Management in Paludified Boreal Forests: Enhancing Wood Production, Biodiversity, and Carbon Sequestration at the Landscape Level
Resource
Canada’s boreal forest represents an important contributor of the world’s wood supply industry. However, maintaining or increasing productivity of the boreal forest may be challenging in areas...
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.
Field Assessment of Sulphide Oxidation Rates in Cold Environment: Case Study of Raglan Mine
Resource
In this field study conducted on Raglan Mine's tailings storage facility (TSF), tailings oxidation rates were characterized with the oxygen consumption (OC) method. Surface tailings unfrozen...
Impacts of Overstripping Topsoil on Native Rangelands in Southeastern Alberta: A Literature Review
Resource
Available information indicates that overstripping and subsequent replacement of topsoil can produce horizon characteristics similar to plow depth characteristics resulting from cultivation
Integrating Indigenous and Scientific Perspectives on Environmental Changes: Insights from Boreal Landscapes
Resource
This study compares the perspectives of Indigenous and scientific communities on environmental changes in boreal landscapes of Quebec, Canada to determine where collaboration between Indigenous...
Minimal Disturbance Pipeline Construction Procedures in Peatland Areas
Resource
TransCanada presents an account of pipeline construction methods implemented in the boreal regions of Alberta.
Pipeline Reclamation Techniques
Resource
Successful reclamation of a pipeline right-of-way is contingent upon the proper material handling procedure, especially for topsoil conservation. NOVA's practice of topsoil conservation is discussed...
Preliminary Caribou Habitat Restoration Plan for the Leismer to Kettle River Crossover Project

Rangeland Revegetation Monitoring on Two Pipeline Rights-of-Way in Southern Alberta
Resource
Compare vegetative productivity, plant species composition and animal utilization on pipeline right-of-way to that of the adjacent native grassland. Field assessments were conducted over 4 years
Soil Compaction: A Literature Review
Resource
Concerns about soil compaction on pipeline rights-of-way have increased with the introduction of heavier, more powerful construction equipment
The Long-term Impact of Pipeline Construction on Solonetzic Mixed Prairie
Resource
Study concentrated on the well-documented 1981 right-of-way, and compared it to the oldest trench, installed in 1957, and to the undisturbed adjacent mixed prairie
The "Winter" Topsoil Stripper
Resource
NOVA, AN ALBERTA CORPORATION embarked on a research and development project approximately one and one-half years ago to develop a machine capable of stripping frozen topsoil . The result was a...
