Panel Discussion – What is Successful Reclamation?
Resource
Government: The Government's perception of successful reclamation may be different than that of the landowner or the operator or any of the other interest groups or all of them. It is not the...
Partitioning Forest-Floor Respiration into Source Based Emissions in a Boreal Forested Bog: Response to Experimental Drought
Resource
Northern peatlands store globally significant amounts of soil carbon that could be released to the atmosphere under drier conditions induced by climate change. We measured forest floor respiration (R...
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...
PhytoPet© – A Database of Plants that Play a Role in the Phytoremediation of Petroleum Hydrocarbons
Resource
The cold climate and short growing season characteristic of the major oil and gas producing regions of western Canada make it particularly important to conduct phytoremediation research on plants...
Population Structure of Threatened Caribou in Western Canada Inferred From Genome-wide SNP Data
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...
Potential Productivity of Black Bear Habitat of the AOSERP Study Area
Resource
Crude average bear density for the AOSERP study area, including water areas, was 0.18 per km2 assuming total avoidance of muskeg areas and 0.25 per km2 assuming use of muskeg
Predicting the Cumulative Effects of Human Development on Biodiversity in Northeastern Alberta
Resource
We used information from the Alberta Biodiversity Monitoring Institute (ABMI) on birds, plants, human footprint, and vegetation, plus information from Dr. Bayne on birds, to test a new method for...
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...
Regional Habitat Needs of a Nationally Listed Species, Canada Warbler (Cardellina canadensis), in Alberta, Canada
Resource
Understanding factors that affect the distribution and abundance of species is critical to developing effective management plans for conservation. Our goal was to quantify the distribution and...
Reindeer and Caribou: Health and Disease

Removing the Wellsite Footprint: Recommended Practices for Construction and Reclamation of Wellsites on Upland Forests in Boreal Alberta
Resource
Wellsite reclamation criteria in Alberta have historically been based on a paradigm of returning land to equivalent land capability. Unfortunately, this paradigm has treated all landscapes as...
Revegetation of Fen Peatlands Following Oil and Gas Extraction in Northern Alberta
Resource
A field experiment from 2012 to 2013 at two locations in northeastern Alberta examined the short-term success of different fen revegetation strategies following the removal of infrastructure (road and...
Review of Revegetation Practices for Oil and Gas Disturbances in Western Canada
Resource
Various methods have been developed and used to revegetate sites disturbed by oil and gas activities in Western Canada. Considerable information describing these methods and their effectiveness exists...
Risk Based Salinity Guidelines for Peatlands Phase 1: Literature Review and Gap Analysis
Resource
The overall objective of this research is to obtain sufficient scientific data relevant to salinity in peatlands in northern climates to allow for the derivation of risk-based assessment and...
Rusty Blackbird (Euphagus carolinus ) Population and Distribution Data in the Athabasca and Cold Lake Oil Sands Regions of Alberta using Automated Recording Units (ARUs)
Resource
The Rusty Blackbird ( Euphagus carolinus ) was listed as Special Concern on Schedule 1 of the federal Species at Risk Act in March 2009 because of large and longterm declines in population size. The...

Salt-Affected Wellsite Closure Project Scientific Rationale Document
Resource
The current document is focussed specifically on issues relating to the ecological direct contact exposure pathway (growth and reproduction of plants and soil invertebrates) in native grasslands areas...
Scaling Up the Role of Predation in Caribou Declines in West-Central Alberta (Redwillow, Narraway, Redrock Prairie Creek, A la Pêche and Little Smoky Ranges)
Resource
Anthropogenic disturbances contribute to the way animals perceive and respond to their environment. These multiple disturbances can additionally act in non-independent ways to shape an animal’s...
