PhytoPet© – A Database of Plants that Play a Role in the Phytoremediation of Petroleum Hydrocarbons
Resource
The cold climate and short growing season characteristic of the major oil and gas producing regions of western Canada make it particularly important to conduct phytoremediation research on plants...
Population and Habitat Ecology of Boreal Caribou and their Predators in the Saskatchewan Boreal Shield
Resource
Research completed by the University of Saskatchewan in collaboration with a consortium of industry and government partners. Research included a multi-faceted program on the population dynamics and...
Population Trend Analysis for Boreal Caribou in SK2 Central using Non-invasive Capture-Recapture Analysis (2007 – 2019)
Resource
"A 3-year population monitoring program was put in place for a study area within SK2 Central covering 16,092 km2 using fecal DNA based capture–recapture methods to estimate population sizes and...
Reclamation of the Gregg River Mine, Canada
Resource
Reclamation of 1,362 hectare mine site; recent carnivore activity is one indication of the eventual return of a healthy, balanced and sustainable ecosystem to the reclaimed Gregg River mine site.
Remediation in Northern Climates: How Can Petroleum Hydrocarbon Remediation be Assessed in Soils Under Seasonal Freeze-thaw Conditions?
Resource
Accurate assessment for bioremediation feasibility plays a critical role in developing cost-effective and efficient remediation strategies adapted to northern climates, where warm seasons are short...
Risk-based Soil Remediation Guidelines in Coal Mine Closure
Resource
Assessment of the Coleman facility found a range of contaminants exceeding Alberta’s default soil guidelines including benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, and xylenes (BTEX) and other hydrocarbon compound
Salt-Affected Wellsite Closure Project Background Document
Resource
The current document reports specifically on issues relating to the ecological direct contact exposure pathway (growth and reproduction of plants and soil invertebrates) in native grasslands areas of...
Salt-Affected Wellsite Closure Project Scientific Rationale Document
Resource
The current document is focussed specifically on issues relating to the ecological direct contact exposure pathway (growth and reproduction of plants and soil invertebrates) in native grasslands areas...
Short-Term Dynamics of Beaver Dam Flow States
Resource
Beavers ( Castor canadensis and C. fiber) build dams that modify catchment and pond water balances, and it has been suggested that they can be a nature-based solution for reducing flood hydrographs...
The Effect of Cover Crop Species on Growth and Yield Response of Tree Seedlings to Fertiliser and Soil Moisture on Reclaimed Sites
Resource
Comparatively the suppressive effect of barley was higher than that of oats probably due to a combination of vigorous growth and possible allelopathic effects.
The Engineering of Peatland Form and Function by Beaver (Castor spp.)
Resource
Northern peatlands are significant contributors to global biogeochemical cycles. In Canada alone, peatlands cover over a tenth of the land surface and store over half of the country’s terrestrial...

Toxoplasma gondii and Related Sarcocystidae Parasites in Harvested Caribou from Nunavik, Canada
Resource
Abstract Caribou are keystone species important for human harvest and of conservation concern; even so, much is unknown about the impact of parasites on caribou health and ecology. The aim of this...
Trophic Consequences of Terrestrial Eutrophication for a Threatened Ungulate
Resource
Conservation actions directed at the proximate cause of caribou decline have been more successful in the near term than those directed further along the trophic chain.
Undermining Subsistence: Barren-Ground Caribou in a “Tragedy of Open Access”
Resource
The paper describes a “tragedy of open access” occurring in Canada’s north as governments open up new areas of sensitive barren-ground caribou habitat to mineral resource development. A growing body of science and traditional knowledge research points to the adverse impacts of resource development; however, management efforts have been almost exclusively focused on controlling the subsistence harvest of northern Indigenous peoples.
Using Stable Isotopes to Track Hydrological Processes at an Oil Sands Mine, Alberta, Canada
Resource
Water samples were collected and analyzed regularly over an eight-year period to establish inventories of site-wide water isotope signatures including seasonal and interannual changes in the recycle...
