Environmental Spaces for Palsas and Peat Plateaus are Disappearing at a Circumpolar Scale
Resource
The anthropogenic climate change threatens northern permafrost environments. This compromises the existence of permafrost landforms, such as palsas and peat plateaus, which have been assessed to be...
Improving Soil Tilth in Reclaimed Soils at the Highvale Mine
Resource
The Highvale mine, located 65 km west of Edmonton along the south side of Lake Wabamum, produces approximately 12 m1llion tons of coal per year as fuel for the Sundance and Keephills generating plants...
Increasing Contributions of Peatlands to Boreal Evapotranspiration in a Warming Climate
Resource
The response of evapotranspiration (ET) to warming is of critical importance to the water and carbon cycle of the boreal biome, a mosaic of land cover types dominated by forests and peatlands. The...
Living in a Burned Landscape: Woodland Caribou Use of Postfire Residual Patches for Calving in a High Fire - Low Anthropogenic Boreal Shield Ecozone
Resource
We tested [the potential habitat value of postfire residuals] using 2 years of GPS data obtained from 56 female caribou to identify calving site selection. 79 calving events were identified from...

Reclamation by Transalta Utilities through Planned Research and Experience
Resource
TransAlta Utilities has always believed that finding solutions to reclamation problems must identify the most economical and technically feasible methods. A range of research related programs have...
Reclamation Experience: An Industrial Perspective
Resource
The concepts important to the regulation of reclaimed land have been evolving and will continue to evolve. We have gone from emphasis on "equal to or greater than productivity" to emphasis on...

Recovery of Terrestrial Lichens Following Wildfire in the Boreal Shield of Saskatchewan: Early Seral Forage Availability for Woodland Caribou (Rangifer tarandus caribou)
Resource
In boreal forests, wildfire is a dominant ecological process that affects the distribution and abundance of terrestrial lichens, the principal winter food for Woodland Caribou ( Rangifer tarandus...
Satellite Determination of Peatland Water Table Temporal Dynamics by Localizing Representative Pixels of A SWIR-Based Moisture Index
Resource
The OPtical TRApezoid Model (OPTRAM) is a physically-based approach for remote soil moisture estimation. OPTRAM is based on the response of short-wave infrared (SWIR) reflectance to vegetation water...
Soil Handling at the Highvale Mine
Resource
The soil resources in the Highvale Mine area are predominantly thin Black Solodized Solonetzic and Gleysolic soils developed on residual bedrock of the Edmonton Formation. A significant amount of Gray...
The Biophysical Climate Mitigation Potential of Boreal Peatlands During the Growing Season
Resource
Peatlands and forests cover large areas of the boreal biome and are critical for global climate regulation. They also regulate regional climate through heat and water vapour exchange with the...
