Potential Impacts of Beaver on Oil Sands Reclamation Success – an Analysis of Available Literature
Resource
Reclaimed mine sites will consist of engineered landforms (including water bodies and waterways); the long-term hydrological and ecological function of those sites may be vulnerable to beaver activity
Potential of LFH Mineral Soil Mixes for Land Reclamation in Alberta
Resource
LFH salvaged with small amounts of upper horizon mineral soil for land reclamation has proven to be an important source of seeds and vegetative propagules for forest plant communities
Potential to Use Animals as Monitors of Ecosystem Health in the Oil Sands Region – July 2013 Update
