A Before-After Dose-Response (BADR) Terrestrial Biological Monitoring Framework for the Oil Sands
Resource
One of the theme areas monitored within the OSM program is terrestrial biodiversity, known programmatically as Terrestrial Biological Monitoring (TBM). Biodiversity refers to the diversity of wild...
A Comparative Study of Benthic Algal Primary Productivity in the AOSERP Study Area
Resource
Seasonal fluctuations in algal species and numbers were influenced by a myriad of interacting factors as were standing crop fluctuations. Numerically, cyanophycean algae dominated, followed by diatoms
A Financial Analysis of Using Improved Planting Stock of White Spruce and Lodgepole Pine in Alberta, Canada: Genomic Selection Versus Traditional Breeding
Resource
Genomics-assisted tree breeding (GATB) is an emerging biotechnology method that has the potential to produce improved planting stock in selected traits, such as greater volume or higher wood quality...
A Longitudinal Physico-chemical and Algal Survey of Five Rivers Flowing Through the AOSERP Study Area
Resource
Diatoms and blue-green algae dominated numericallyin five tributary rivers flowing into the Athabasca River except in the Hangingstone River where chlorophycean species replaced the latter group
A Socioeconomic Evaluation of the Recreational Use of Fish and Wildlife Resources in Alberta, with Particular Reference to the AOSERP Study Area. Volume I: Summary and Conclusions
Resource
50,170 Albertans engaged in nonconsumptive fish and wildlife use in the AOSERP study area for a total of 83,393 recreation days during 1975-76.
A Study of Human Adjustment in Fort McMurray - Interim Report II
Resource
Overall objectives of this project are to identify and analyse various dimensions and aspects of the social and personal adjustment to current and past conditions of life in the study area.
A Study of Human Adjustment in Fort McMurray - Technical Manual

A Study of Human Adjustment in Fort McMurray - Volume I: Field Study and Results
Resource
From 1961 to 1979, there was an abrupt transition from the economy reliant on traditional activities such as hunting, trapping, fishing, and transportation to an industrial economy based on oil sands
A Visual Guide to Handling Woody Materials for Forested Land Reclamation
Resource
Guide to answer: • Why has there been a shift in how we manage woody materials? • How can woody materials be managed effectively on sites? • What do effective woody material applications look like?
Accounting for Spatially Biased Sampling Effort in Presence-only Species Distribution Modelling
Resource
Results suggest that sample weighting can be used to account for spatially biased presence-only datasets in species distribution modelling
Adapting Monitoring to More Effectively Assess the Impacts of Climate Change on Alberta’s Biodiversity
Resource
Use of ABMI samples to understand genetic variation and changes in genetic structure is identified as an area where ABMI data can be used to understand how biodiversity is adapting to climate change
Alberta’s Natural Subregions Under a Changing Climate: Past, Present and Future
Resource
The Natural Regions and Subregions classification represents the state-of-the-art in ecological land classification in Alberta. This classification provides a valuable baseline for resource management...
Alternative Native Boreal Seed and Plant Delivery Systems for Oil Sands Reclamation
Resource
The purpose of this document is to review traditional and alternative systems of seed and nursery stock treatment and delivery for use in oil sands reclamation. Treatment systems are considered those...
