Buck for Wildlife's Volunteer Fisheries Habitat Enhancement Program
Resource
The Buck for Wildlife Program of the Alberta Fish and Wildlife Division has recently expanded its efforts to develop a volunteer based fisheries habitat enhancement program. Twenty-nine projects, with...
Burrowing Owl Climate Change Adaptation Plan for Alberta
Resource
This report is intended to provide some adaptation strategies that are focused on management of Burrowing Owls in the face of a changing climate.
Buying Seed: The Pitfalls and Blunders and how to Avoid Them
Resource
The focus of this paper is to define the differences between Certified seed and other seed categories, and what certified seed means to reclamation projects. The second part of the paper discusses the...
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
Case Study – Greening Cities
Resource
Trees are an integral and valuable pa rt of t he urban environment. They provide a visual softening to the harsh lines of urban development and make cities livable by improving the quality of life...
Challenges in Co-operative Reclamation Research
Resource
There may be different interpretations of cooperative reclamation research, so it is appropriate to explain how the term will be used in subsequent discussions. The basic concept is to broaden the...
Changes in Geographical Runoff Generation in Regions Affected by Climate and Resource Development: A Case Study of the Athabasca River
Resource
The goal of this study is to enhance the understanding of the regional role of the lower Athabasca Basin areas in overall runoff delivery to the downstream Peace-Athabasca Delta. The Cold-regions...
Characterization of Stored Peat in the Alberta Oil Sands Area
Resource
Physical, chemical, and microbiological properties of stored materials were compared with those of fibric moss peat, mesic moss peat, and mesic fen peat samples from undisturbed sites
Climate Change is the Primary Driver of White-tailed Deer (Odocoileus virginianus) Range Expansion at the Northern Extent of its Range; Land Use is Secondary
Resource
Quantifying the relative influence of multiple mechanisms driving recent range expansion of non-native species is essential for predicting future changes and for informing adaptation and management...
Climate-informed Forecasts Reveal Dramatic Local Habitat Shifts and Population Uncertainty for Northern Boreal Caribou
Resource
Most research on boreal populations of Woodland caribou ( Rangifer tarandus caribou) has been conducted in areas of high anthropogenic disturbance. However, a large portion of the species’ range...
Cluster Planting: Early Enhancement of Structural Diversity in a Reclaimed Boreal Forest
Resource
Abstract: Planting trees is an important step in re-establishing functioning forest ecosystems after industrial land disturbances. Conventional planting practices create forests with evenly spaced...
Coal Mine Spoils and Their Revegetation Patterns in Central Alberta
Resource
The study involved an examination of the vegetation and spoils on five mine locations in the central Parkland of Alberta. These five locations represented different spoil types, and methods of mining...
Coal Mining in the Green Area
Resource
In regard to reclamation, the predisturbance inventories carried out as a function of the EIA or D&R Approval, dictate to a large extent the vegetation cover or land uses that will be established. As...
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
