Deciduous Tree Species Classification Using Object-Based Analysis and Machine Learning with Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Multispectral Data
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...
Defining Best Management Practices for Conservation of Reclamation Materials in the Mineable Oil Sands Region of Alberta
Resource
Task-group formed to define Best Management Practices (BMPs) for conservation of reclamation materials in the mineable oil sands region of Alberta; easier to define BMPs for salvage than replacement
Demographic Responses of a Threatened, Low-density Ungulate to Annual Variation in Meteorological and Phenological Conditions
Resource
Study highlights the increased relevance of recovery actions when adverse climatic conditions are likely to negatively affect caribou demography.
Deposition of Sulphur and its Influence on Soils in the AOSERP Study Area
Resource
Several field investigations were carried out to determine the amounts of sulphur deposited in rain, in rain washing off trees, and by direct absorption of SO2 by soil
Determining Sustainable Levels of Cumulative Effects for Boreal 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...
Development of Genomic Resources for Cattails (Typha), a Globally Important Macrophyte Genus
Resource
A critical knowledge gap in freshwater plant research is the lack of genetic tools necessary to answer fundamental questions about their demographic histories, adaptation and phylogenetic...
Development of Soil Quality Criteria for Contaminated Site Remediation
Resource
There can be little argument that contaminants are now a ubiquitous presence in our environment. Though large-scale efforts to deal with contaminant issues have traditionally focused on water and air...
Differences in the Composition of Soils Under Open and Canopy Conditions at Two Sites Close-in to the Great Canadian Oil Sands Operation, Fort McMurray, Alberta
Resource
Soils sampled at sites 2.3 and 5.3 km south of the Great Canadian Oil Sands (GCOS) plant, Fort McMurray, respectively were found to differ statistically with reference to several macronutrients
Disposal of Drilling Wastes in the Mountains
Resource
The foothills and mountain regions are extremely varied in soils, vegetation, climate and geology. Oil and gas drilling wastes must be contained ana then dispose □ of, despite of this extreme...
Distribution, Abundance and Habitat Associations of Beavers, Muskrats, Mink and River Otters in the AOSERP Study Area, Northeastern Alberta
Resource
Synthesis of the published literature on the habitat preferences of beavers, muskrats, mink and river otters. Field studies during the late autumn of 1978 included aerial surveys and track counts
Distribution and Abundance of Macrobenthos in the Athabasca River Near Fort McMurray
Resource
348 benthic macroinvertebrate samples collected at 16 sites along 85 km of the Athabasca River between Fort McMurray and the Ells River. total of 27229 specimens belonging to 68 taxonomic groups
DNA Metabarcoding of Faecal Pellets Reveals High Consumption of Yew (Taxus spp.) by Caribou (Rangifer tarandus) in a Lichen-poor Environment
Resource
Woodland caribou ( Rangifer tarandus caribou) are threatened in Canada because of the drastic decline in population size caused primarily by human-induced landscape changes that decrease habitat and...
Do Highway Rights-of-way Have to be Dull?
Resource
Highway rights-of-way in Alberta, and elsewhere, are dull because they consist of limited, non-native species mixes that are frequently mowed. These rights-of-way are therefore not much more exciting...
Does Connectivity Exist for Remnant Boreal Caribou (Rangifer tarandus caribou) Along the Lake Superior Coastal Range? Options for Landscape Restoration
Resource
Study of whether animal movement can be discerned, using genetic population and relatedness analyses, within and beyond the Lake Superior Coastal Range.
Drivers, Pressures, and State Responses to Inform Long-term Oil Sands Wetland Monitoring Program Objectives
Resource
Boreal peatlands provide numerous ecosystem services ranging from carbon sequestration to the provisioning of habitat for species integral to Indigenous communities. In the Oil Sands Region of Alberta...
Early Performance of Some Native and Cultivated Grasses on Oil Sands Mine Disturbance Materials
Resource
The trial was established on blended materials consisting of native sand, clayey overburden and peat. Nine native grasses and eight cultivated grass varieties were seeded in June of 1981.
Ecological Bench-marking and Biomonitoring for Detection of Airborne Pollutant Effects on Vegetation and Soils
Resource
There was only very limited evidence of biological responses to increased pollutant content in spite of significantly higher pollutant levels in tissues close to existing industrial developments.
Ecological Habitat Mapping of the AOSERP Study Area: Phase 1
Resource
Classification system devised for mapping vegetation and surficial geology from 1:60,000 scale false colour infrared photographs; 1:50 000 base maps plus a vegetation and a surficial geology overlay
Ecological Habitat Mapping of the AOSERP Study Area (Supplement): Phase 1
Resource
Ground surveys of vegetation and surficial geology generally confirmed that the classification systems used in the mapping accurately described and defined the ecological habitat features
