Balancing Between Predation Risk and Food by Boreal Breeding Ducks
Resource
Wetlands belong to the globally most threatened habitats, and organisms depending on them are of conservation concern. Wetland destruction and quality loss may affect negatively also boreal breeding...
Characterizing an Inter-jurisdictional Woodland Caribou Range in the Boreal Plain
Resource
The Canadian Boreal Forest Agreement (CBFA) undertook an assessment of the Pasquia-Bog area to characterize the range using best available science and information.
Decreased Carbon Accumulation Feedback Driven by Climate‐Induced Drying of Two Southern Boreal Bogs over Recent Centuries
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
Enhanced Revegetation and Reclamation of Oil Sands Disturbed Sites Using Actinorhizal and Mycorrhizal Biotechnology
Resource
Preliminary results, after two growth seasons, show promise in the use of pre-inoculated seedlings in enhancing growth and establishment of alders and conifers on oil sands reclamation sites.
Environmental Spaces for Palsas and Peat Plateaus are Disappearing at a Circumpolar Scale
Resource
The anthropogenic climate change threatens northern permafrost environments. This compromises the existence of permafrost landforms, such as palsas and peat plateaus, which have been assessed to be...
Evaluation of Reclamation Success in Alberta’s Oil Sands
Resource
Tree and shrub cover increased following reclamation, with shrub cover reaching a plateau after nine years. Traditional use species are present and those planted have remained
History of Wetland Reclamation in the Alberta Oil Sands
Resource
Wetland reclamation trends over time, wetland reclamation research, critical findings and the latest wetland reclamation initiatives, such as fen watershed research, design, construction and monitorin
Increasing Contributions of Peatlands to Boreal Evapotranspiration in a Warming Climate
Resource
The response of evapotranspiration (ET) to warming is of critical importance to the water and carbon cycle of the boreal biome, a mosaic of land cover types dominated by forests and peatlands. The...
Innovative Techniques to Improve Reclamation Practices in Alberta Oil Sands
Resource
Screens native grasses [fringed brome grass (Bromus ciliatus), June grass (Koeleria macrantha), a mix of native grasses with barley and oats (Avena sativa) for suitability to grow and stabilise tailin
Intra- and Interspecific Variation in Spectral Properties of Dominant Sphagnum Moss Species in Boreal Peatlands
Resource
Boreal peatlands store ~25 % of global soil organic carbon and host many endangered species; however, they face degradation due to climate change and anthropogenic drainage. In boreal peatlands...
Modeled Production, Oxidation, and Transport Processes of Wetland Methane Emissions in Temperate, Boreal, and Arctic Regions
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...
Moss Cellulose 18O Applied to Reconstruct Past Changes in Water Balance of a Boreal Wetland Complex, Northeastern Alberta
Resource
Overall, the study established existence of long-term groundwater source areas around the margins of the peatland, as well as contemporary permafrost thaw zones within the McClelland Wetland itself.
Oil Sands Rec1amation – An Overview of Suncor’s Program
Resource
Commercial production of synthetic crude oil from the Athabasca Oil Sands began in 1967 in north-eastern Alberta. Suncor Inc., then known as Great Canadian Oil Sands Ltd., began the development of...
Paleolimnological Assessment of Past Hydro-ecological Variation at a Shallow Hardwater Lake in the Athabasca Oil Sands Region Before Potential Onset of Industrial Development
Resource
Effective environmental monitoring requires knowledge of inherent natural variation. In the absence of pre-development monitoring of aquatic ecosystems, paleolimnological approaches have been...
Recent Climate Change has Driven Divergent Hydrological Shifts in High-latitude Peatlands
Resource
High-latitude peatlands are changing rapidly in response to climate change, including permafrost thaw. Here, we reconstruct hydrological conditions since the seventeenth century using testate amoeba...

Resource
Pasquia-Bog Woodland Caribou Range Plan - version as recommended to Canadian Boreal Forest Agreement Secretariat.
Recommendations for, and Voluntary Contributions, Towards a Kesagami Range Caribou Action Plan
Resource
This document records the recommendations and the voluntary contributions of the Canadian Boreal Forest Agreement (CBFA) signatories for a Caribou Action Plan in the Cochrane-Quebec/Kesagami caribou...
