In the future, Fort McKay will continue to strive for faster reclamation that will restore the land to pre-mining conditions and seek the complete elimination of fluid fine tailings stored in an EPL
Intrinsic Traits of Woodland Caribou Rangifer tarandus Calves Depredated by Black Bears Ursus americanus and Coyotes Canis latrans
Resource
Individuals in substandard physical condition are predicted to be more vulnerable to predation. Support for this prediction is inconsistent partly as a result of differences across systems in the life...
Large Animal Models for Chronic Wasting Disease
Resource
Chronic wasting disease (CWD) is a fatal neurodegenerative prion disease of cervid species including deer, elk, moose and reindeer. The disease has shown both geographic and species expansion since...
Large Stocks of Peatland Carbon and Nitrogen are Vulnerable to Permafrost Thaw
Resource
Northern peatlands have accumulated large stocks of organic carbon (C) and nitrogen (N), but their spatial distribution and vulnerability to climate warming remain uncertain. Here, we used machine...
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...
Reclamation Monitoring in the Athabasca Oil Sands Region of Canada Using a Long-term Plot Network
Resource
A long-term plot network would allow the monitoring data to describe the ecological condition of the reclaimed lands and define appropriate management strategies for achieving revegetation goals
