Benefits of Fertilization for White Spruce and Lodgepole Pine Trees Depend on the Reclamation Substrate – Overburden vs Tailings Sand
Resource
Nitrogen and complete fertilizer applications improved growth of white spruce on overburden sites. Fertilization did not, however, have an effect on lodgepole pine growth on tailings sand sites
Boreal Trees Can Grow on Saline Sites – Implications for Reclamation Success on Saline Soils
Resource
Both aspen and spruce grew on sites with very high salinity and pH deeper in the soil profile (i.e., 40-100cm), so long as surface soils were not highly saline and had adequate moisture and nutrients.
Coarse Woody Debris Increases Microbial Functional Diversity in Reclaimed Soils
Resource
Forest floor mineral soil mix had significantly greater soil microbial functional diversity than peat mineral soil mix. CWD increased microbial biomass and microbial functional diversity in both soil
Deeper Soil Salvaging Depths Produce Greater Cover of Native Plants than Shallow Salvage Depths on a Reclaimed Coal Mine Site
Resource
The deeper soil salvage depth (40 cm) was better than the shallow salvage depth (15 cm) at establishing a forest understory plant community characteristic of the boreal forest.
Developing a Reclamation Costing Framework for the Athabasca Oil Sands
Resource
The Athabasca oil sands are a significant component of the economy in Alberta. However, they also represent a large environmental risk. At the end of mining operations, companies are expected to begin...
Environmental and Management Drivers of Carbon Dioxide and Methane Emissions From Actively-Extracted Peatlands in Alberta, Canada
Resource
The installation of drainage ditches and removal of vegetation in preparation for vacuum harvesting alters the carbon dynamics of peatlands. However, we lack the measurements to understand the spatial...

This master's project collected and documented Inuit observations to describe the population distribution of caribou and muskoxen in Nunavut.
Inuit Qaujimajatuqangit about Population Changes and Ecology of Peary Caribou and Muskoxen on the High Arctic Islands of Nunavut
Resource
Abstract Over the past 40 years, severe population fluctuations in Peary caribou ( Rangifer tarandus pearyi) and muskoxen ( Ovibos moschatus) living in the High Arctic of Nunavut has caused widespread...
