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...
Canadian Wetland Inventory using Google Earth Engine: The First Map and Preliminary Results
Resource
Although wetlands provide valuable services to humans and the environment and cover a large portion of Canada, there is currently no Canada-wide wetland inventory based on the specifications defined...
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
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.
Human-induced Behavioural Changes of Global Threatened Terrestrial Mammals
Resource
Abstract Aim: Understanding changes in the behaviour of threatened species responding to rapidly increasing human disturbances is critical for biodiversity conservation. Here, we synthesize a meta...
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
Minimal Disturbance Pipeline Construction Procedures in Peatland Areas
Resource
TransCanada presents an account of pipeline construction methods implemented in the boreal regions of Alberta.
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...
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
Resource
On September 20, 2012, NOVA Gas Transmission Ltd. (NGTL) received approval for the Leismer to Kettle River Crossover Project. Approximately 63 km of this pipeline will be constructed within the...
Quantifying Restoration Success via Natural Recovery in Forested Areas Following Pipeline Construction
Resource
This resource is available on an external database and may require a paid subscription to access it. It is included on the CCLM to support our goal of capturing and sharing the breadth of all...
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
Recent Climate Change has Driven Divergent Hydrological Shifts in High-latitude Peatlands
Resource
High-latitude peatlands are changing rapidly in response to climate change, including permafrost thaw. Here, we reconstruct hydrological conditions since the seventeenth century using testate amoeba...
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
