Syncrude's Reclamation Research Program
Resource
The objective of Syncrude's land reclamation research program is to identify and develop cost-effective land reclamation strategies and techniques to achieve acceptable reclamation for all...
A Case Study of Materials and Techniques Used in the Rehabilitation of a Pit and a Quarry in Southern Ontario
Resource
Many after-uses of aggregate extraction land do exist: forestry, agriculture, recreation, nature reserves, housing and waste disposal sites. Attempts at reclaiming this land for alternate uses has...
A Causal Modelling Approach to Informing Woodland Caribou Conservation Policy from Observational Studies
Resource
Examines the scientific framework for woodland caribou recovery efforts through the lens of causal modelling, highlighting feasible steps that could be taken to improve the rigour of causal inferences
A Retrospective Summary of Cervid Morbidity and Mortality in Ontario and Nunavut Regions of Canada
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 Review of Reindeer Lichen (Cladonia subgenus Cladina) Linear Growth Rates
Resource
Cladonia subgenus Cladina (the reindeer lichens) can be a dominant part of terrestrial ecosystems worldwide. They are particularly abundant in arctic-alpine and boreal regions, where they are a...
A Synthesis of Three Decades of Eco-Hydrological Research at Scotty Creek, NWT, Canada
Resource
Scotty Creek, Northwest Territories (NWT), Canada, has been the focus of eco-hydrological research for nearly three decades. Over this period, field and modelling studies have generated new insights...
Agricultural Soil Quality Criteria for Canada
Resource
The concept of soil quality has evolved from an expression of productivity to an assessment of environmental sustainability. It now includes elements of health and time as well as biological...
Agronomic Properties and Reclamation Possibilities for Surface Materials on Syncrude Lease #17
Resource
Reclamation planning for tar sands mining and extraction operation differs greatly from that used in Alberta foothills and plains coal mines. One of the main differences is that the bulk of the...
Amelioration and Revegetation of Smelter Contaminated Soils in the Coeur D'Alene Mining District of Northern Idaho
Resource
Results of two experiments, one greenhouse project and one field study, indicate that high heavy metal concentrations in smelter-contaminated soils and in tree seedlings grown thereon, increase...
An Evaluation of the Influence of Grass/Legume Mixtures on Tree Species at the Judy Creek Test Mine
Resource
The influence of competition of agronomic mixtures on out planted lodgepole pine and white spruce was investigated on study plots at the Judy Creek Test Mine from 1979 to 1983. Two agronomic seed...
An Overview of Pipelining
Resource
As an overview to pipelining in Alberta, prior to 1976 there was no requirement for operators to conserve topsoil or ensure growth capability. However, with the passing of Alberta Regulation 207/76...
Applications and Costs of Wildlife Habitat Reclamation
Resource
The costs and methods of wildlife habitat reclamation are discussed for three examples. The first example, the Cascade Landfill site in Banff National Park, illustrates the approach and costs of...

Biochar Application for Revegetation Purposes in Northern Saskatchewan
Resource
Our research was focused on biochar application for revegetation purposes under northern Saskatchewan conditions. The Gunnar Mine Site, located on the northern shore of the Athabasca Lake, was used as...
Bioengineering Techniques for Revegetation of Riparian Areas at the Colomac Mine, NWT
Resource
Factors such as nutrient poor soils, harsh climate, remote locations, and high costs make revegetating disturbed areas in northern environments a challenge. We present a case study where novel...
Bioengineering. The Use of Plant Biomass to Stabilize and Reclaim Highly Disturbed Sites
Resource
The bioengineering concept of reclamation developed in Europe is now becoming well established internationally with successful projects in Japan, Korea, New Zealand, Rhodesia, South Africa, Venezuela...
Biological Soil Crusts and Native Species for Northern Mine Site Restoration
Resource
The nitrogen cycle is highly sensitive to pollutants and restoration of this biogeochemical pathway is essential to ensure long-term sustainable ecosystems. In a greenhouse trial, the growth and...
