Defining Disturbance and Recovery: The Influence of Landscape Specific Ecological Responses to Oil and Gas Linear Disturbances in North Yukon
Resource
Across northern Canada evidence of oil and gas seismic exploration remains from the 1950's to current day. While many of these linear features are still visible, others can no longer be seen. Research...
Design and Performance Enhancement of Mine Drainage Settling Ponds in Alberta
Resource
There has been increasing concern in recent years regarding the environmental impact of sediment laden runoffs discharged from land disturbing activities in Alberta. Settling ponds represent the most...
Development and Application of Soil Quality Criteria for Alberta's Resource Extraction Industries
Resource
Soil quality criteria for Alberta's resource extraction industries were prepared by the Soil Quality Criteria Subcommittee of the Alberta Soils Advisory Committee. The document produced was intended...
Development of Genomic Resources for Cattails (Typha), a Globally Important Macrophyte Genus
Resource
A critical knowledge gap in freshwater plant research is the lack of genetic tools necessary to answer fundamental questions about their demographic histories, adaptation and phylogenetic...
Development of Soil Quality Criteria for Contaminated Site Remediation
Resource
There can be little argument that contaminants are now a ubiquitous presence in our environment. Though large-scale efforts to deal with contaminant issues have traditionally focused on water and air...
Disposal of Drilling Wastes in the Mountains
Resource
The foothills and mountain regions are extremely varied in soils, vegetation, climate and geology. Oil and gas drilling wastes must be contained ana then dispose □ of, despite of this extreme...
DNA Metabarcoding of Faecal Pellets Reveals High Consumption of Yew (Taxus spp.) by Caribou (Rangifer tarandus) in a Lichen-poor Environment
Resource
Woodland caribou ( Rangifer tarandus caribou) are threatened in Canada because of the drastic decline in population size caused primarily by human-induced landscape changes that decrease habitat and...
Does Connectivity Exist for Remnant Boreal Caribou (Rangifer tarandus caribou) Along the Lake Superior Coastal Range? Options for Landscape Restoration
Resource
Study of whether animal movement can be discerned, using genetic population and relatedness analyses, within and beyond the Lake Superior Coastal Range.
Ecotypic Variation in the Reproductive Response of Poa alpina
Resource
In 1983 the Alberta Environmental Centre (AEC) at Vegreville began a program to develop licensed, commercially available seed varieties suitable for use in the reclamation of rangeland and man-made...

Elk Winter Food Habits and Forage Quality Along the Eastern Slopes of Alberta (A Review)
Resource
A review of the limited number of studies on elk winter food habits along the Eastern Slopes of Alberta shows that elk prefer grasses and grasslike plants over shrubs. When available, rough fescue (...
Environmenta1 Planning for Rights-of-way
Resource
A recent study (using a 10% stratified random sample) estimated the amount of area physically disturbed by energy related activity, to be 66,576 acres (26,963 ha) for a selective study area...
Environmental Fate and Transport of Organic Contaminants in Soils at Waste Disposal Sites
Resource
Current approaches for describing the environmental dynamics of organic constituents in complex waste mixtures are reviewed. Factors controlling equilibrium and nonequilibrium sorption of organic...
Erosion Monitoring on Mountain Foothills Waste Dumps
Resource
The erosion study was designed to examine the effects of the regraded configuration (i.e. slope angle, slope length), waste material characteristics, age since reclamation, amount of precipitation...
Establishment of Native Boreal Plant Species on Reclaimed Oil Sands Mining Disturbances
Resource
Current revegetation strategies for disturbed oil sands sites include values such as biodiversity and sustainability. As a result, a wide range of species are sought for inclusion in revegetation...
