The Biophysical Climate Mitigation Potential of Boreal Peatlands During the Growing Season
Resource
Peatlands and forests cover large areas of the boreal biome and are critical for global climate regulation. They also regulate regional climate through heat and water vapour exchange with the...
The Development and Reclamation Review Process
Resource
The Development and Reclamation Review process, as it currently operates, is presented and discussed with the aid of a flow chart. Suggestions are made to improve and expedite the process with...
The Distribution of Nutrients and Organic Matter in Native Mountain Grasslands and Reclaimed Coal-mined Areas in Southeastern B.C.

The Essential Carbon Service Provided by Northern Peatlands
Resource
Northern peatlands have cooled the global climate by accumulating large quantities of soil carbon (C) over thousands of years. Maintaining the C sink function of these peatlands and their immense long...
The Evolution of Reclamation Practice – from Complex to Simple
Resource
Reclamation practice is a function of public will expressed through either company policy or regulatory requirement and technical capability. Many of the contradictions and conflicts which appear in...
The Hydrochemical Evolution of a Constructed Peatland in a Post-mining Landscape Six Years After Construction
