Plow-in Pipeline Construction Improves Recovery of Rough Fescue Grassland
Resource
Plow-in pipeline approach resulted in a fescue-bluegrass vegetation community that had the best rough fescue recovery and greatest similarity to undisturbed natural grassland
Prioritization can Improve Cost Effectiveness of Seismic Line Restoration
Resource
Upland mesic sites showed a relatively strong ability to regenerate on their own (passive restoration), while lowland (bogs and fens) and upland dry sites were slow to recover.
Rat Root Plants May Not be Suitable for Reclaiming Oil Sands Tailing Ponds
Resource
This study tested the ability of rat root to grow in a high pH/high salinity environment, similar to that of a constructed oil sands tailings pond wetland.
Reconstructed Soils in Alberta Oil Sands Limit Fine Root Growth of Trees
Resource
Tailings sand sites: fine root biomass decreased with depth and proximity to the textural interface. Overburden sites: fine root biomass decreased abruptly at the textural interface and EC increased
Recovery of Boreal Caribou in Labrador
Resource
Newfoundland and Labrador is home to several herds of caribou; the island population, the migratory George River caribou (northern Labrador), and perhaps the most sensitive, the boreal herds of...
Recovery Strategy for Three Woodland Caribou Herds (Rangifer tarandus caribou; Boreal Population) in Labrador

Seismic Lines in the Boreal and Arctic Ecosystems of North America: Environmental Impacts, Challenges, and Opportunities
Resource
The oil and gas industry has grown significantly throughout the boreal and arctic ecosystems of North America. A major feature of the ecological footprint of oil and gas exploration is seismic lines...
Soil Salvage Depth is Key to Aspen Root Fragment Survival and Sucker Regeneration in Forest Reclamation
Resource
Aspen sucker production from root fragments was 3X higher at salvage/placement depth of 40 cm compared to 15 cm. Successful suckering occurred in root fragments with little damage in upper 20 cm soil
Temporary Drilling Pads From Oil Sands Exploration Require Microtopography for Restoration
Resource
Differences in microtopography were associated with differences in plant species richness and composition between OSE pads and the undisturbed sites.
Video - Aerial Survey of the George River Caribou Herd - July 2020
Resource
A 15':30" movie of a powerpoint presentation on the 2020 survey of the George River Caribou herd. The survey estimates the herd is up to 8,100 from 5,500 in 2018. Most of the increase is thought to be...
