Canada Warbler Response to Vegetation Structure on Regenerating Seismic Lines
Resource
Seismic lines have an extensive footprint in Canada's western boreal forest that alter habitat conditions for many species. Seismic lines exist within a range of seral states due to changing practices...
Carbon and Nitrogen Mineralization and Microbial Succession in Oil Sands Reclamation Soils Amended with Pyrogenic Carbon
Resource
Rebuilding native forest soils in reclamation will require the use of biochar to stimulate functional similarity to native ecosystems for nutrient availability and microbial community succession
Carbon Dissolution Effects on pH Changes of RAMP Lakes in Northeastern Alberta, Canada
Resource
This study focuses on interpretation of hydrochemistry from 50 lakes thought to be acid sensitive, and so monitored by the Regional Aquatic Monitoring Program (RAMP) over the last two decades. This...
