Roads Impact Tree and Shrub Productivity in Adjacent Boreal Peatlands
Resource
Peatlands in the western boreal plains of Canada are important ecosystems as they store over two percent of global terrestrial carbon. However, in recent decades, many of these peatlands have been...
RRTAC Future Research Needs Project – Summary
Resource
Summary of a survey to determine the reclamation research needs of organizations/industries in Alberta that are involved with industrial disturbances and to prioritize research needs.
Salt Movement in Disturbed Soils
Resource
To assess climatic and soil conditions under which salts will move out of the root zone in a soil disturbed by a pipeline and to determine the rate at which salts will move in disturbed soils.
Seasonal Ground Ice Impacts on Spring Ecohydrological Conditions in a Western Boreal Plains Peatland
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...
Soil Microbiology in Land Reclamation. Volume I – Soil Microbial Development
Resource
Soil microorganisms and their activities are the major vectors in the decomposition of plant litter and the subsequent transformation and flow of such essential plant nutrients as nitrogen and phospho
Soil Microbiology in Land Reclamation. Volume II – Mycorrhizae
Resource
Effects of amendments on growth of trees and grasses and establishment of mycorrhizae in coal and oil sands reconstructed soils
Soil Physical Properties in Reclamation
Resource
To provide coordinated direction for reclamation research in Alberta, the need to review the current understanding and the role of soil physical properties in soil disturbance related activities was...
Soil Reconstruction Design for Reclamation of Oil Sand Tailings
Resource
The objective of the study was the definition of physical and chemical soil properties required to support the forest ecosystems which are the targets of oil sands tailings reclamation research
Soil Series Information for Reclamation Planning in Alberta: Volume 1
Resource
Part 1 of this manual is a background and explanatory section that describes the terminology used in soil surveys and presents the assumptions and conventions upon which the interpretations are based
Soil Series Information for Reclamation Planning in Alberta: Volume 2
Resource
Part 2 presents typical data and interpretations for each soil series in Alberta. The interpretations were made by applying the guidelines in Part 1, and checking the results against experience
Source or Sink? Meta-analysis Reveals Diverging Controls of Phosphorus Retention and Release in Restored and Constructed Wetlands
Resource
Wetland restoration is a popular nutrient management strategy for improving water quality in agricultural catchments. However, a wetland’s ability to retain phosphorus is highly variable and wetlands...
Spatial Patterns and Mass Balance of Sodium in Near-surface Peat of a Constructed Fen
Resource
At the Nikanotee Fen Watershed, a pioneering reclamation project in the Athabasca Oil Sands Region, elevated sodium (Na+) in the porewater of mine-waste materials has been shown to migrate to the fen...
Spatial Variation in Nutrient Dynamics Among Five Different Peatland Types in the Alberta Oil Sands Region
Resource
Wetlands are found extensively throughout the Western Boreal Plain, a region under pressure because of disturbance by the oil and gas industries. To understand how wetland systems may respond to...
Subsurface Water Chemistry in Mined Land Reclamation; Key to Development of a Productive Post-mining Landscape
Resource
In reconstructing the landscape during reclamation the sequence and methods of placement of overburden material determine the post-mining subsurface-water chemistry. The type of material at various...
Temperature, Moisture and Freeze–thaw Controls on CO2 Production in Soil Incubations From Northern Peatlands
Resource
Peat accumulation in high latitude wetlands represents a natural long-term carbon sink, resulting from the cumulative excess of growing season net ecosystem production over non-growing season (NGS)...
