Constructing Habitat for a Sustainable Native Fisheries in the Sphinx Lake End Pit Lake System
Resource
Pit reclaimed such that the end pit and inlet/outlet streams would sustain in perpetuity the full range of habitat and watershed features needed to support native Athabasca Rainbow and Bull Trout
Controls on Methylmercury Concentrations in Lakes and Streams of Peatland-Rich Catchments Along a 1700 km Permafrost Gradient
Resource
Permafrost thaw may increase the production of neurotoxic methylmercury (MeHg) in northern peatlands, but the downstream delivery of MeHg is uncertain. We quantified total mercury (THg) and MeHg...
Cultural and Ecological Value of Boreal Woodland Caribou Habitat
Resource
This report provides a preliminary discussion of cultural and ecological values related to Canada's boreal woodland caribou, and provides references to existing methodologies for assessing these...
IISD: Advancing Natural Infrastructure in Canada: A Forum Report
Resource
In Canada and globally, there is growing use of natural infrastructure (NI)—actively managed natural systems and resources such as plants, soil and wetlands—to address increasing risks related to climate change and to meet pressing environmental and economic needs.
Land-use Planning Following Resource Extraction – Lessons from Grizzly Bears at Reclaimed and Active Open Pit Mines
Resource
Following closure, access management on designated trails will reduce risk of conflicts. Imposing access restrictions, preserving undisturbed habitat patches and restoring original vegetation
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...
Life of Coal Mine Planning – Engaging in Land Use Planning at Luscar and Gregg River Mines
Resource
The Luscar and Gregg River Mines Land Management Plan Working Group was formed to develop a land management plan. The process engaged stakeholders representing a variety of community interests
