Peat Depth as a Control on Sphagnum Moisture Stress During Seasonal Drought
Resource
A critical ‘threshold’ peat depth specific for different hydrogeological and hydroclimatic regions can be used to assess what peatlands are especially vulnerable to climate change mediated drought.
Peat Surface Compression Reduces Smouldering Fire Potential as a Novel Fuel Treatment for Boreal Peatlands
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...
Peat Swamp Hydrological Connectivity and Runoff Vary by Hydrogeomorphic Setting: Implications for Carbon Storage
Resource
Despite their importance in carbon cycling and catchment runoff dynamics, the hydrology of temperate peat swamps in response to changing hydrometeorological conditions is largely understudied. We...
Peatland Restoration
Project
Contact
Organization:
Reclamation of altered landscapes in northern Alberta is becoming increasingly important as the regulatory requirement become more stringent. Oil and gas and forestry companies are liable for...
Peatland Wellsite Re-vegetation
Resource
Site re-vegetation is an important phase in peatland restoration. Prior to re-vegetating a peatland site, appropriate methods should be used to adjust the soil and address the hydrologic disturbance...
Petroleum Exploration Increases Methane Emissions from Northern Peatlands
Resource
Peatlands are globally significant sources of atmospheric methane (CH4). In the northern hemisphere, extensive geologic exploration activities have occurred to map petroleum deposits. In peatlands...
Plant and Seed Technologies

Organization:
The Plant and Seed Technologies program is uniquely positioned to facilitate the delivery of native shrub, forb and graminoids species for reclamation by: assisting industry and practitioners in more...
Podcast - The Science of Growing Forests
Resource
Join host Aspen Dudzic in the latest episode of the Forestry Talks podcast, presented by the Alberta Forest Products Association, as she welcomes Dr. Amanda Schoonmaker, Research Chair for Colleges at...
Pollution timebombs: Contaminated wetlands are ticking towards ignition
News
Organization
Wetlands across the globe have long served as natural repositories for humanity’s toxic legacy, absorbing and retaining hundreds to thousands of years’ worth of pollution. These swampy vaults have...
Practices to Effectively Till Industrial Forest Soils
Resource
Minimizing the footprint of industrial operation on forest lands is an important goal for maintaining the integrity and sustainability of forest species and communities. Industrial operations and...
Primary Drivers of Reptile Overwintering Habitat Suitability: Integrating Wetland Ecohydrology and Spatial Complexity
Resource
Identifying ecosystems resilient to climate and land-use changes is recognized as essential for conservation strategies. However, wetland ecosystems may respond differently to stressors depending on...
Principles of Vegetation Management
Resource
Vegetation management is critical to establishing desirable plant species and to achieving reclamation objectives. This resource is one of four technical notes on vegetation management for reclamation...
Principles of Vegetation Management: Vegetation Management Treatments

Vegetation management is critical to establishing desirable plant species and to achieving reclamation objectives. This resource is one of four technical notes on vegetation management for reclamation...
PTAC Evaluation of Reclamation Practices on Forested Upland and Peatland Well Sites
Project
Contact
Organization:
In general, regulators expect that disturbed sites in the boreal forest will undergo complete reclamation (recontouring, soil replacement and revegetation) with the goal of returning the site to pre...
Reclamation and Restoration Plan Development
Resource
The site-specific data gathered throughout the life cycle of an upstream facility provides the basis for the integrated environmental management principles commonly applied for the reclamation of...
Reclamation of a Wood Chipped Winter Road: Application of the Peat Inversion Technique in a New Context
Resource
This research poster outlines site studies of the peat inversion technique for reclaiming wood chipped winter access roads, including project planning and site condition assessment, future...
Removing In-Situ Footprint in Boreal Peatlands
Resource
Restoring peatlands in the in situ oil sands region of northern Alberta presents a set of challenges that have yet to be properly addressed. The lack of proven, cost-effective methods for restoring...
Restoration of Boreal Peatland Impacted by an In-situ Oil Sands Well-pad 1: Vegetation Response
Resource
The prompt introduction and establishment of peatland donor species through moss layer transfer technique was crucial to the overall re-establishment of peatland vegetation.
