Improving Peary Caribou Presence Predictions in MaxEntUsing Spatialized Snow Simulations
Resource
In this article, the researchers 1) investigate whether a snow model adapted for the Antarctic (SNOWPACK) can produce snow simulations relevant to Canadian High Arctic conditions, and 2) test snow...
In Search of a Critical Habitat Concept for Woodland Caribou, Boreal Population
Resource
A hierarchical approach to critical habitat identification has been proposed in the draft National Recovery Strategy for the Woodland Caribou (Rangifer tarandus caribou), Boreal Population. This...
Linking Habitat, Predators and Alternative Prey to Explain Recruitment Variations of an Endangered Caribou Population
Resource
Habitat loss, fragmentation and alteration are frequently identified as important threats to biodiversity, inducing major changes in the structure and composition of species communities and the...
Links Between Individual Performance, Trace Elements and Stable Isotopes in an Endangered Caribou Population
Resource
Foraging is a key behaviour, and several aspects of foraging remain to be investigated in many wild species. Low energy gain or reduced protein, nutrient, and mineral intake may explain poor...
List of Reclamation Research Technical Advisory Committee Reports
Resource
This document provides the full list of reports published by the Reclamation Research Technical Advisory Committee from 1979 to 1994
Manual of Plant Species Suitability for Reclamation in Alberta: 2nd Edition
Resource
The manual includes information on forty-four grasses, fourteen forbs and thirty-five trees and shrubs. The summary, presented in tabular form, provides, for key reclamation parameters,
Mapping and Characterization of Cutover Peatlands
Resource
Methodology for cost-effective soil survey and sampling of cutover peatlands, and obtaining baseline chemical information and data interpretation for peat materials to examine reclamation alternatives
Mycorrhizal Studies Regarding the Reclamation of Oil Sand Tailings: Production and Outplanting of Jack Pine Seedlings and Amounts of VA- and Ectomycorrhizal Inoculum in Stockpiled Peat
Resource
Produce mycorrhizal jack pine seedlings in the greenhouse and initiate a field study on the Syncrude dyke on the effect of different ectomycorrhizal fungi on the growth of jack pine
Native Legumes for Reclamation in Alberta
Resource
4-year project to collect, multiply, evaluate, and select native legume species for inclusion in a native seed mixture being developed at AEC for reclamation in the mountains and foothills
Native Plant Invasion into Reclaimed Oil Sands Mine Sites
Resource
Slightly more invasion occurred on oil sands tailings sand sites seeded to native grasses and legumes, but much more invasion occurred on non-seeded sites
Novel Multilayer Network Analysis to Assess Variation in the Spatial Co-occurrences of Close Kin in Wild Caribou Populations
Resource
Abstract Understanding how individuals within populations are connected genetically and through shared space-use is critical to understanding the demographic patterns of at-risk populations. In recent...
OIl Sands Sludge Dewatering by Freeze-Thaw and Evapotranspiration
Resource
The experiments detailed in this report show that it was possible to increase the solids content of sludge to 50% solids by adding three parts sand (tailings sand) to one part sludge.
Oil Sands Soil Reconstruction Project Five Year Summary
Resource
Treatment plots were established on the Syncrude mine site to test the effect of a variety of mixtures of peat, mineral overburden, and tailings sand on establishment of trees and shrubs
Oil Sands Tailings Capping Study
Resource
Research plots were constructed on the Syncrude mine site at Mildred Lake to test effect of thickness and quality of replaced soil over tailings sand on the performance of trees and shrubs
Oil Sands Tailings Preliminary Ecological Risk Assessment
Resource
Conceptual and analytical framework for quantifying risks to terrestrial wildlife that might be exposed to solid-phase materials potentially associated with oil sands reclamation
Open-Source Based Geo-Platform to Support Management of Wetlands and Biodiversity in Quebec

Organic Materials as Soil Amendments in Reclamation: A Review of the Literature
Resource
Organic amendments reviewed included animal manures, crop residues, peat, wood waste, sewage sludge, municipal yard waste, humates, vermicomposts and spent mushroom compost. The effect of these organi
Physical and Hydrological Characteristics of Ponds in Reclaimed Upland Landscape Settings and Their Impact on Agriculture Capability
Resource
In 1985, a one hectare pond developed in the upland reclaimed landscape at Vesta Mine in an area where extensive ponding had not previously been observed. Because of the thickness of the spoil, about...
