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...
Reclamation for Afforestation by Suitable Native and Introduced Tree and Shrub Species
Resource
In 1976 methods and materials were used in the search for afforestation practices that will assist in the establishment of a self sustaining vegetation cover compatible with land use objectives
Regional Water Quality of the AOSERP Study Area. Volume II: Discussion of 1976 and 1977 Data
Resource
Provide background information on an extensive number of water quality parameters to enable the employment of predictive techniques and at the same time to understand natural water quality loadings
Relationships Between Habitats, Forages and Carrying Capacity of Moose Range in Northern Alberta. Part 1: Moose Preferences for Habitat and Strata and Forages
Resource
Radio telemetry was employed to delineate seasonal use, and preference and avoidance of both habitat strata and forages. Environmental variables affecting habitat use were identified and measured
Report on an Ecological Survey of Terrestrial Insect Communities in the AOSERP Study Area
Resource
Members of 261 insect families were found in the study area, of which 220 were collected in this survey. Damage surveys showed great variation in the rates of insect attack on dominant plant species
Research, Development, and Field Testing of a New Fish Tracking System
Resource
Design techniques are presented for a very high frequency telemetry system capable of transmitting short radio frequency pulse signals from the body of a fish to an aircraft flying over a river.
Results of Ground Checking of Vegetation Maps in the AOSERP Study Area: A Pilot Study
Resource
Provides recommendations based on the field survey and ground checking, for developing methodologies to enhance the detail on 1:50 000 vegetation maps (preliminary vegetation community classification)
Revegetation Research 1976 Progress Report Sub-projects VE 7.2, 7.3, and 7.4
Resource
Laboratory studies were conducted during 1976 to investigate native grasses and legumes potentially useful for revegetation on various soils with and without the addition of fertilizer.
Review and Annotated Bibliography of Stream Diversion and Stream Restoration Techniques and Associated Effects on Aquatic Biota
Resource
Effects of stream diversions on aquatic life, natural recovery of stream ecosystems from the effects of diversion, effectiveness of habitat restoration/enhancement techniques, and potential biomonitor
Review of Groundwater Information Associated with In Situ Recovery
Resource
Purpose of this project was to document existing hydrogeological data, identify areas of concern and to outline a plan for monitoring changes in groundwater flow or quality.
Semi-aquatic Mammals: Annotated Bibliography
Resource
Annotated bibliography contains 776 entries grouped under the species: muskrat, beaver, mink, and otter
Service Delivery in the Athabasca Oil Sands Region Since 1961
Resource
Population growth in Fort McMurray (from 1200 people to 25,000) necessitated the institution and continuous expansion of a service delivery system, including urban infrastructure and social services
Simulated Climate Warming Increases Plant Community Heterogeneity in To Types of Boreal Peatlands in North Central Canada
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...
Small Mammal Populations of Northeastern Alberta. I. Populations in Natural Habitats

Study of small mammal populations (small rodents and snowshoe hares), habitat use, small rodent diets, and small mammal damage in natural forest and successional communities from June 1978 to Nov 1979
Small Mammal Populations of Northeastern Alberta. II. Populations in Reclamation Areas
Resource
Study of small rodent populations, habitat use, and amounts of small mammal damage to woody-stemmed plants on reclamation areas of Suncor Inc. lease from July 1978 to November 1979
