Exposure to Historical Burn Rates Shapes the Response of Boreal Caribou to Timber Harvesting
Resource
Studying the response of wildlife to anthropogenic disturbances in light of their evolutionary history may help explain their capacity to adapt to novel ecological conditions. In the North American...
Factors that Result in Sustainable Forest Ecosystem Development on Padded Sites in Peatlands: Pilot Study
Resource
The pilot study validated the research questions, sampling design, measurement and data analysis methods developed for a large‐scale study, with some minor amendments.
Field Notes: Reclamation Field Tour of Upland and Peatland Industrially-Disturbed Sites
Resource
This field note is a summary of questions and answers covered during the NAIT 5th Field Tour. It includes stops made at reclamation sites, the focus of each stop and questions accompanying the topic.
From Diet to Hair and Blood: Empirical Estimation of Discrimination Factors for C and N Stable Isotopes in Five Terrestrial Mammals
Resource
Abstract Carbon and nitrogen stable isotope ratios are used widely to describe wildlife animal diet composition and trophic interactions. To reconstruct consumer diet, the isotopic differences between...

Technical Note #26: Poplars and willows are woody species that can be propagated by stem cuttings, and grow across a wide range of site and environmental conditions. Both poplars and willows are early...
Harvest and Transfer of Donor Material for Peatland Re-vegetation
Resource
Peatland vegetative covers are typically dominated by Bryophytes, and as such vegetative transfer techniques that successfully re-establish the Bryophyte communities play a critical role in the...
Harvesting and Cleaning Aspen Seeds
Resource
Production of aspen plants can be done in two ways; from root cuttings or from seeds. The former method is used to produce plants of a specific clone; and is generally used when selecting for high...
Harvesting and Cleaning Fleshy Shrub Seed for Reclamation
Resource
Alberta’s forest land reclamation criteria require the establishment of multi-strata vegetation that includes a shrub layer. Establishment of a shrub layer requires the acquisition of seed from a...
Hitchhiker Planting in Reclamation: Protocols for Developing Nursery Stock of Woody and Herbaceous Species
Resource
The 2010 reclamation criteria for forested lands requires the establishment of both native woody and herbaceous species, while controlling undesirable and noxious weed species, to reclaim industrially...
Hitchhiker Planting: Mixed-species Container Stock Planting as a Novel Tool to Increase Plant Diversity on Industrially Disturbed Sites
Resource
Rapid establishment of closed canopy cover is a key goal in land reclamation. While re-establishment of understory vegetation is likely to positively contribute to this goal, native herbaceous species...
