A Case Study of Materials and Techniques Used in the Rehabilitation of a Pit and a Quarry in Southern Ontario
Resource
Many after-uses of aggregate extraction land do exist: forestry, agriculture, recreation, nature reserves, housing and waste disposal sites. Attempts at reclaiming this land for alternate uses has...
A Guide To Mosses And Liverworts Of Alberta Peatlands
Resource
The guide identifies 60 species of mosses and liverworts that comprise the flora of fens and bogs in Alberta and western boreal Canada, designed for use in the field and laboratory.
A Hydrogeological Landscape Framework to Identify Peatland Wildfire Smouldering Hot Sports
Resource
Northern peatlands are important global carbon stores, but there is concern that these boreal peat reserves are at risk due to increased fire frequency and severity as predicted by climate change...
A Hydrogeological Landscape Framework to Identify Peatland Wildfire Smouldering Hot Spots
Resource
This study used a combination of field measurements and modelling to assess the vulnerability of peat to smouldering in the Utikuma Region Study Area, Alberta, Canada.
A Life Cycle Approach to Vegetation Management on Reclaimed Industrial Sites
Resource
This resource is an excerpt from an issue of Canadian Reclamation (Issue 4, Vol 14) containing and article advising practitioners on best practices for vegetation management using the Life Cycle...
A New Lake Classification Scheme for the Peace-Athabasca Delta (Canada) Characterizes Hydrological Processes that Cause Lake-level Variation
Resource
Recent drawdown of the delta’s abundant shallow lakes and rivers has deteriorated vital habitat for wildlife and impaired navigation routes. Here, we report continuous measurements at ~50 lakes during...
A New Method to Map Groundwater Table in Peatlands Using Unmanned Aerial Vehicles
Resource
Groundwater level (GWL) and depth to water (DTW) are related metrics aimed at characterizing groundwater-table positions in peatlands, and two of the most common variables collected by researchers...
A Regional-Scale Index for Assessing the Exposure of Drinking-Water Sources to Wildfires
Resource
Recent human-interface wildfires around the world have raised concerns regarding the reliability of freshwater supply flowing from severely burned watersheds. Degraded source water quality can often...
A Synthesis of Three Decades of Eco-Hydrological Research at Scotty Creek, NWT, Canada
Resource
Scotty Creek, Northwest Territories (NWT), Canada, has been the focus of eco-hydrological research for nearly three decades. Over this period, field and modelling studies have generated new insights...
A Temporal Snapshot of Ecosystem Functionality During the Initial Stages of Reclamation of an Upland-fen Complex
Resource
AOSR pre-disturbance landscape consists of a mosaic of upland-peatland complexes, dominated by fens, which have become the focus of recent mandatory reclamation efforts. Quantifiable metrics for...
Access Roads Impact Enzyme Activities in Boreal Forested Peatlands
Resource
This study investigated the impacts of resource access roads on soil enzyme activities in contrasting forested boreal peatlands (bog and fen).
Advances in Wetland Hydrology: The Canadian Contribution Over 75 Years
