Enhanced Revegetation and Reclamation of Oil Sands Disturbed Sites Using Actinorhizal and Mycorrhizal Biotechnology
Resource
Preliminary results, after two growth seasons, show promise in the use of pre-inoculated seedlings in enhancing growth and establishment of alders and conifers on oil sands reclamation sites.
Field Assessment of Sulphide Oxidation Rates in Cold Environment: Case Study of Raglan Mine
Resource
In this field study conducted on Raglan Mine's tailings storage facility (TSF), tailings oxidation rates were characterized with the oxygen consumption (OC) method. Surface tailings unfrozen...
Harvesting Surface Vegetation Does Not Impede Self-Recovery of Sphagnum Peatlands
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...
Impacts of Spruce Budworm Defoliation on the Habitat of Woodland Caribou, Moose, and Their Main Predators
Resource
Forest logging has contributed to the decline of several woodland caribou populations by causing the fragmentation of mature coniferous stands. Such habitat alterations could be worsened by spruce...
Meta-analysis Reveals that Enhanced Practices Accelerate Vegetation Recovery During Peatland Restoration
Resource
Abstract The provision of critical ecosystem services like carbon sequestration by peatlands has been degraded around the globe. Peatland restoration represents an opportunity to tackle the twin...
Occupancy and Abundance of Pond-Breeding Anurans in Boreal Landscapes
Resource
As resource extraction moves north across the globe, wetland ecosystems in Canada are increasingly degraded because of disturbances associated with anthropic activities, including timber harvesting...
Peatland Ecology Research Group

Organization:
The Peatland Ecology Research Group (PERG) was formed through the partnership of the university scientific community, the Canadian peat moss industry and federal and provincial agencies. Our common...
Peatland Ecology Research Group 24th Symposium Abstracts
Resource
Schedule and abstracts from the 24th annual Symposium of the Peatland Ecology Research Group.
Plant Functional Traits as Indicator of the Ecological Condition of Wetlands in the Grassland and Parkland of Alberta, Canada
Resource
The analysis of functional trait-habitat relationships has been used to measure the degree to which environmental factors influence the assembly of ecological communities. In the Parkland and...
Post-fire Peatland Vegetation Recovery: A Case Study in Open Rich Fens of the Canadian Boreal Forest
Resource
Fire plays a major role in structuring and the functioning of boreal ecosystems. As peatlands are important components of boreal forests, the impact of fire upon these wetter ecosystems is...
Predicting Patterns of Terrestrial Lichen Biomass Recovery Following Boreal Wildfires
Resource
New allometric equations to estimate lichen biomass from field measurements of lichen cover and height; allometries were consistent among ecoprovinces, suggesting generalizability
