A Before-After Dose-Response (BADR) Terrestrial Biological Monitoring Framework for the Oil Sands
Resource
One of the theme areas monitored within the OSM program is terrestrial biodiversity, known programmatically as Terrestrial Biological Monitoring (TBM). Biodiversity refers to the diversity of wild...
A Burning Question: What are the Implications of Forest Fires for Woodland Caribou?
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...
A Census of Moose on Syncrude’s Leases 17 and 22 During Early February 1977
Resource
Total numbers of moose observed and likely the total moose population, declined 40% (43 to 26) between Feb 1976 and Feb 1977. A disproportionately higher number of moose were present in aspen sites
A Comparative Study of Benthic Algal Primary Productivity in the AOSERP Study Area
Resource
Seasonal fluctuations in algal species and numbers were influenced by a myriad of interacting factors as were standing crop fluctuations. Numerically, cyanophycean algae dominated, followed by diatoms
A Deeper Dive into Human Footprint in Alberta
Resource
As of 2015, 29.2% of Alberta is under human footprint, up from 25.7% in 1999—that’s an average increase of about 0.22%, or around 1450 km2 (560 sections) per year.
A Fisheries and Water Quality Survey of Ten Lakes in the Richardson Tower Area, Northeastern Alberta. Volume 2: Data
Resource
Volume I I contains all data collected for the study reported in Vol 1.
A Fisheries and Water Quality Survey of Ten Lakes in the Richardson Tower Area, Northeastern Alberta. Volume I: Methodology, Summary, and Discussion
Resource
A fisheries and water quality survey was conducted in September 1979 on 10 small lakes (67.4 to 338.9 ha) in the vicinity of Richardson Tower, approximately 140 km north of Fort McMurray, Alberta
A Framework for Adaptive Monitoring of the Cumulative Effects of Human Footprint on Biodiversity
Resource
Effective ecological monitoring is imperative in a human-dominated world, as our ability to manage functioning ecosystems will depend on understanding biodiversity responses to anthropogenic impacts...
A Greener World May Hold Red Flags for Woodland Caribou
Resource
A team from the ABMI’s Caribou Monitoring Unit, studied links between habitat alteration (e.g., forest harvesting), primary productivity, moose, wolves, and caribou across the Canadian boreal forest
A Laboratory Study of Long-term Effects of Mine Depressurization Groundwater on Fish and Invertebrates
Resource
Mine depressurization groundwater was acutely toxic to the three species of invertebrates tested. The 90 d LC50 was 8.5 to 9% for rainbow trout, 13.2% for lake chub, and 5.8% for white suckers.
A Literature Review for Monitoring Rare and Elusive Species, and Recommendations on Survey Design for Monitoring Boreal Caribou
Resource
Effective wildlife management requires monitoring changes in the spatial distribution of species, their population size and their population trend (Williams et al. 2002; Sinclair et al. 2006)...
A Longitudinal Physico-chemical and Algal Survey of Five Rivers Flowing Through the AOSERP Study Area
Resource
Diatoms and blue-green algae dominated numericallyin five tributary rivers flowing into the Athabasca River except in the Hangingstone River where chlorophycean species replaced the latter group
A Plan for the Identification of Potentially Toxic Materials in the AOSERP Study Area
Resource
A co-ordinated plan is proposed for the identification of toxic emissions from oil sand developments in the AOSERP study area based on interviews with over 40 specialists in various fields
A Preliminary Investigation into the Magnitude of Fog Occurrence and Associated Problems in the Oil Sands Area
Resource
Based on meteorological and historical fog data, Fort McMurray Airport experiences 4 to 5 days with ice fog and 18 total days with fog per year covering 320 to 1580 km2
A Preliminary Review of Black Bear – Human Interactions and Recommended Strategies for the AOSERP Study Area
Resource
The analysis of bear-human interactions in the AOSERP study area indicated that the major conflict arises from nuisance bears attracted to areas by garbage
A Preliminary Study of Chemical and Microbial Characteristics of the Athabasca River in the Athabasca Oil Sands Area of Northeastern Alberta
Resource
A literature review and evaluation of methods used to determine rates of bacterial uptake (heterotrophic assimilation) of organic substrates in fresh water systems was undertaken
A Preliminary Vegetation Survey of the Alberta Oil Sands Environmental Research Program Study Area
Resource
84 stands were chosen as representative of all the major vegetation types in the study area. The structure and species composition of each stand was described
A Review and Assessment of the Baseline Data Relevant to the Impacts of Oil Sands Developments on Large Mammals in the AOSERP Study Area
Resource
Major gaps in the baseline knowledge of woodland caribou were: distribution , seasonal habitat use, the effects of sensory disturbance, and population density; minor gap re: direct mortality
A Review and Assessment of Vegetation Information for the AOSERP Study Area
Resource
Vegetation workshop was held November 1979 to evaluate user needs for more detailed vegetation descriptions and maps and to review the results of the vegetation survey as a step towards meeting needs
