The concept of soil quality has evolved from an expression of productivity to an assessment of environmental sustainability. It now includes elements of health and time as well as biological...
Alberta Water Futures: Risks and Opportunities for Water Management
Resource
The AWC decided to investigate the main risks and opportunities for water management in the province through the Alberta Water Futures project.
Alberta Wetland Policy Implementation Review Perspectives Report
Resource
In 2020, the Alberta Water Council (AWC) identified the need to review the implementation of the Alberta Wetland Policy (the policy). This review would support improving and public reporting on the...
Biogeochemical Response to Vegetation and Hydrologic Change in an Alaskan Boreal Fen Ecosystem
Resource
Boreal peatlands store approximately one third of the earth’s terrestrial carbon, locked away in currently waterlogged and frozen conditions. Peatlands of boreal and arctic ecosystems are affected...

Forage Quality of Seeded Native Grasses in the Fall Season on the Canadian Prairie Provinces
Resource
There is renewed interest in re-seeding native grasses in the prairie region of western Canada but there is limited information on their forage quality for fall grazing. We evaluated forage quality in...
Intentional Anthropogenic Additions to Soils: Pesticides
Resource
During the 1980's, environmental issues grew rapidly in importance, and more sophisticated modelling scenarios were developed as an aid in predicting the transport and persistence behaviour of...
Natural Climate Solutions for Canada
Resource
Alongside the steep reductions needed in fossil fuel emissions, natural climate solutions (NCS) represent readily deployable options that can contribute to Canada’s goals for emission reductions. We...
Peat Loss Collocates with a Threshold in Plant–Mycorrhizal Associations in Drained Peatlands Encroached by Trees
Resource
Drainage-induced encroachment by trees may have major effects on the carbon balance of northern peatlands, and responses of microbial communities are likely to play a central mechanistic role. We...
Potential Utilization of Native Prairie Grasses from Western Canada as Ethanol Feedstock
Resource
The utilization of native grass species for potential biomass feedstocks of the emerging ethanol industry requires more information about their cellulose and hemicellulose concentration. Ten native...
