Establishing a World Class Public Information and Reporting System for Ecosystems in the Oil Sands Region – Report and Appendices
Resource
A vision for a comprehensive and effective Public Information and Reporting System for Ecosystem Effects in the Oil Sands Region that is relevant, credible, durable, transparent, and robust
Estimating Ungulate Recruitment and Growth Rates Using Age Ratios
Resource
This resource is available on an external database and may require a paid subscription to access it. It is included on the CCLM to support our goal of capturing and sharing the breadth of all...
Evaluating the Hydrological Response of a Boreal Fen Following the Removal of a Temporary Access Road
Resource
Removal and reclamation should be considered as a worthwhile venture for roads that extend through fens and are no longer in use.
Factors Affecting Ecological Resilience of Reclaimed Oil Sands Uplands
Resource
Literature review provides an understanding of ecological resilience as a concept to promote successful land reclamation in Alberta’s mineable oil sands region
Future of Shrubs in Oil Sands Reclamation Workshop
Resource
Current state of knowledge about shrubs and their use in oil sands reclamation noted a number of regulatory requirements and policies that support shrub use but a far larger list of impediments
Global Change Risks a Threatened Species due to Alteration of Predator–prey Dynamics
Resource
Although global change can reshape ecosystems by triggering cascading effects on food webs, indirect interactions remain largely overlooked. Climate- and land-use-induced changes in landscape cause...
Glossary of Terms and Acronyms used in Oil Sands Mining, Processing and Environmental Management – December 2014 Update
Resource
Glossary provides understanding of the language and acronyms used in oil sands mining, processing and environmental management.
Graminoids Vary in Functional Traits, Carbon Dioxide and Methane Fluxes in a Restored Peatland: Implications for Modeling Carbon Storage
Resource
One metric of peatland restoration success is the re-establishment of a carbon sink, yet considerable uncertainty remains around the timescale of carbon sink trajectories. Conditions post-restoration...
Groundwater in Peat and Peatlands
Resource
Peatlands are wetlands with soil comprised of undecomposed remains of plants that accumulate in such a way that both responds to and controls the flux and storage of surface water and groundwater, as...
Habitat Loss Accelerates for the Endangered Woodland Caribou in Western Canada
Resource
Habitat loss is often the ultimate cause of species endangerment and is also a leading factor inhibiting species recovery. For this reason, species-at-risk legislation, policies and plans typically...
How Mounds are Made Matters: Seismic Line Restoration Techniques Affect Peat Physical and Chemical Properties Throughout the Peat Profile
Resource
This resource is available on an external database and may require a paid subscription to access it. It is included on the CCLM to support our goal of capturing and sharing the breadth of all...
Identifying Indirect Habitat Loss and Avoidance of Human Infrastructure by Northern Mountain Woodland Caribou
Resource

Impact of Linear Disturbances on Boreal Wetland Carbon and Greenhouse Gas Exchange
Resource
This presentation provides and overview of linear disturbance impacts on carbon and greenhouse gas exchange and links various research posters also presented at the NAIT 7th Seminar on Linear...
Impacts of Seismic Line Restoration on CO2, CH4, and Biomass
Resource
This thesis explores how seismic line mounding treatments affect vegetation cover and composition, above- and belowground biomass, and carbon dioxide (CO 2) and methane (CH 4) fluxes in the first two...
Increasing Fire Frequency and Severity Will Increase Habitat Loss for a Boreal Forest Indicator Species
Resource
Climate change will lead to more frequent and more severe fires in some areas of boreal forests, affecting the distribution and availability of late-successional forest communities. These forest...
Insect-mediated Apparent Competition Between Mammals in a Boreal Food Web
Resource
While the important role of animal-mediated interactions in the top-down restructuring of plant communities is well documented, less is known of their ensuing repercussions at higher trophic levels...
Integrated Surface-subsurface Water and Solute Modeling of a Reclaimed In-pit Oil Sands Mine: Effects of Ground Freezing and Thawing
Resource
The upland and wetlands substrate in reclaimed oil sands landforms will be constructed of post-mining materials with an objective of replicating the landscape and hydrology of the surrounding boreal...
