Agronomic Receptor Evaluation For Direct Soil Contact: Stage 2
Resource
The objective of Stage 2 of the project was to investigate how adverse effects on the growth of alfalfa might be affected by the depth of a contaminant (sodium chloride) in the soil profile. Stage 2...
Global Guidelines for Peatland Rewetting and Restoration
Resource
The Convention on Wetlands (The Convention) and other national, regional and global policy frameworks promote the restoration of degraded peatlands. Rewetting peatland to reduce greenhouse gas...
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...
Native Prairie Protocol for Salt-Affected Wellsites Scientific Rationale Document
Resource
There are a large number of oil and gas sites with salts in soil that exceed one or more generic guideline values. The nature of generic guidelines is that, by definition, they do not uniquely...
Practical Peatland Restoration
Resource
This Briefing Note presents key information on practical peatland rewetting and restoration on site. It formulates general guiding principles applicable to all peatland restoration practices and...
Reclamation of the Gregg River Mine, Canada
Resource
Reclamation of 1,362 hectare mine site; recent carnivore activity is one indication of the eventual return of a healthy, balanced and sustainable ecosystem to the reclaimed Gregg River mine site.
Restoring Drained Peatlands: A Necessary Step to Achieve Global Climate Goals
Resource
Peatlands cover about 400 million hectares (ha), or 3% of the land surface of our planet. Yet they store more carbon, more effectively and for longer periods, than any other ecosystem on land. Intact...
Risk-based Soil Remediation Guidelines in Coal Mine Closure
Resource
Assessment of the Coleman facility found a range of contaminants exceeding Alberta’s default soil guidelines including benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, and xylenes (BTEX) and other hydrocarbon compound
Salt-Affected Wellsite Closure Project Background Document
Resource
The current document reports specifically on issues relating to the ecological direct contact exposure pathway (growth and reproduction of plants and soil invertebrates) in native grasslands areas of...
Salt-Affected Wellsite Closure Project Scientific Rationale Document
Resource
The current document is focussed specifically on issues relating to the ecological direct contact exposure pathway (growth and reproduction of plants and soil invertebrates) in native grasslands areas...
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...
The Third Generation of Pan-Canadian Wetland Map at 10 m Resolution Using Multisource Earth Observation Data on Cloud Computing Platform
Resource
Development of the Canadian Wetland Inventory Map (CWIM) has thus far proceeded over two generations, reporting the extent and location of bog, fen, swamp, marsh, and water wetlands across the country...
