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.
“Caribou was the reason, and everything else happened after”: Effects of Caribou Declines on Inuit in Labrador, Canada
Resource
Examines the critical interplay between cultural continuity and adaptive capacity for responding to ecological uncertainty based on an Inuit-led, multi-year, multi-media qualitative and visual media
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

Plow-in Pipeline Construction Improves Recovery of Rough Fescue Grassland
Resource
Plow-in pipeline approach resulted in a fescue-bluegrass vegetation community that had the best rough fescue recovery and greatest similarity to undisturbed natural grassland
Prioritization can Improve Cost Effectiveness of Seismic Line Restoration
Resource
Upland mesic sites showed a relatively strong ability to regenerate on their own (passive restoration), while lowland (bogs and fens) and upland dry sites were slow to recover.
Protecting Forest Floor in Place Rather than Stripping it Off is a Better Strategy to Regenerated Temporary Drilling Pads
Resource
Where forest floor was protected from disturbance, there were approximately 10 times as many aspen sprouts that were at least 3 times as tall as sprouts in the area where floor was stripped & replaced
Rat Root Plants May Not be Suitable for Reclaiming Oil Sands Tailing Ponds
Resource
This study tested the ability of rat root to grow in a high pH/high salinity environment, similar to that of a constructed oil sands tailings pond wetland.
