Resource
Dissipation of bromacil in Humic Luvic Gleysols amended with cow manure was evaluated at two sites in northwestern Alberta from 1984 to 1987
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.
