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...

Accurate assessment for bioremediation feasibility plays a critical role in developing cost-effective and efficient remediation strategies adapted to northern climates, where warm seasons are short...
Revegetation of Oil Sands Tailings: Growth Improvement of Silver-berry and Buffalo-berry by Inoculation with Mycorrhizal Fungi and N2-Fixing Bacteria
Resource
Associated with the roots of silver-berry and buffalo-berry are two symbionts the N2-fixing actinomycete, Frankia, and the vesicular-arbuscular mycorrhizal (VAM) fungi.
Review of the Effects of Storage on Topsoil Quality
Resource
Topsoil storage does not appear to have any severe and long term effect on topsoil quality. Chemical changes can be rectified with the judicious use of chemical fertilizers or manure. Physical changes
