Demographic Responses of Boreal Caribou to Cumulative Disturbances Highlight Elasticity of Range-specific Tolerance Thresholds
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...
Dewatering Fine Tails by Evaporation: A Mathematical Modelling Approach
Resource
A one dimensional approach was used to model the evaporation process from fine tails. Understanding the complex interactions among the solids, water and external atmospheric demand is required
Direct Planting of Poplar Stem Cuttings
Resource
Stem cuttings of balsam poplar and three poplar hybrids were directly planted onto reclamation material ontailings dyke slope. The overall rooting success was poor - direct planting is not recommended
Drivers of Vegetation Regrowth on Logging Roads in the Boreal Forest: Implications for Restoration of Woodland Caribou Habitat
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...
Ecosystem Management in Paludified Boreal Forests: Enhancing Wood Production, Biodiversity, and Carbon Sequestration at the Landscape Level
Resource
Canada’s boreal forest represents an important contributor of the world’s wood supply industry. However, maintaining or increasing productivity of the boreal forest may be challenging in areas...
Fisheries and Aquatic Habitat Investigations in the Mackay River Watershed of Northeastern Alberta
Resource
General objective of this study was to describe the baseline states of the fish component of the MacKay River watershed, the largest basin on the west side of the Athabasca River
Fisheries Survey of the Beaver Creek Diversion System, 1978
Resource
While a total of 11 species were encountered in the study area, only 6 were recorded in the upper diversion system (i.e., upstream of the Poplar Creek dam).
Global Change Risks a Threatened Species due to Alteration of Predator–prey Dynamics
Resource
Although global change can reshape ecosystems by triggering cascading effects on food webs, indirect interactions remain largely overlooked. Climate- and land-use-induced changes in landscape cause...
Historical Resources Impact Assessment Lease No. 22 (ASA Permit No. 84-53)
Resource
In the course of the program, 7,608 shovel tests were excavated for the purpose of locating prehistoric sites in Syncrude's Bituminous Sands Lease No. 22.
Historical Resources Impact Assessment, Western Portion of Syncrude Lease No. 17, Alberta
Resource
This assessment was designed to locate and assess prehistoric and historic sites which might be present in the area between the Beaver and MacKay Rivers. Three prehistoric sites were recorded
Improving Siberian Larch Seed Germination Rates
Resource
Cold stratification for two weeks at 5°C before germination showed no significant difference in the average percent germination between the stratified and unstratified seeds.
Integrated Surface-subsurface Water and Solute Modeling of a Reclaimed In-pit Oil Sands Mine: Effects of Ground Freezing and Thawing
Resource
The upland and wetlands substrate in reclaimed oil sands landforms will be constructed of post-mining materials with an objective of replicating the landscape and hydrology of the surrounding boreal...
Inventory Studies of Birds on and Near Crown Lease Number 17, Athabasca Tar Sands, 1974
Resource
Ground surveys were conducted of 30 water bodies on and near the lease, including lakes, ponds, the Athabasca River, roadside borrow pits, and shallow marshes created by clearing and water diversion
Knowledge Transfer Process – Wetland Reclamation Research in the Alberta Oil Sands
Resource
Subject matter experts were asked to participate in a multi-year process to review, interpret and synthesise results on marsh (open water wetland) reclamation and research in the oil sands region
Management-mediated Predation Rate in the Caribou–Moose–Wolf System: Spatial Configuration of Logging Activities Matters
Resource
Landscape complexity can determine the population dynamics of interacting predators and prey. Yet, management plans are commonly developed from aspatial predictive models. This oversight may result in...
Migratory Waterfowl and the Syncrude Tar Sands Lease: A Report
Resource
Objectives of the waterfowl surveys are: 1) To monitor waterfowl migrations through the Syncrude Lease 17 and general area during all seasons of use. 2) To establish the locations and intensity of use
Monitoring Air Quality with Lichen: A Feasibility Study
Resource
Study to determine the scientific, technical and economic feasibility of establishing air pollution effect gradients using lichenological methods on a radially arranged pattern of observation sites
Observations on the Dispersal of Saline Groundwater in the Beaver Creek Diversion System, 1976-1978
Resource
Emphasis is placed on processes influencing temporal and spatial patterns in circulation, stratification and saline water distributions. Owing to its density, the high salinity effluent tends to sink
Ornithological Studies on and near Crown Lease 17, Northeastern Alberta, June-October 1984
Resource
Overall objectives of this study were to determine the abundance and diversity of terrestrial breeding birds and conduct waterbird inventories to determine what changes, if any, have occurred
