How Linear Features Alter Predator Movement and the Functional Response
Resource
In areas of oil and gas exploration, seismic lines have been reported to alter the movement patterns of wolves (Canis lupus). We developed a mechanistic first passage time model, based on an...
Hydrological Functions of a Peatland in a Boreal Plains Ecosystem
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...
Insect-mediated Apparent Competition Between Mammals in a Boreal Food Web
Resource
While the important role of animal-mediated interactions in the top-down restructuring of plant communities is well documented, less is known of their ensuing repercussions at higher trophic levels...
Inuit Knowledge of Long-term Changes in a Population of Arctic Tundra Caribou
Resource
Indigenous peoples possess knowledge about wildlife that dates back many generations. Inuit observations of historical changes in a caribou population on southern Baffin Island, collected from 43...
List of Reclamation Research Technical Advisory Committee Reports
Resource
This document provides the full list of reports published by the Reclamation Research Technical Advisory Committee from 1979 to 1994
Long Term Population Fluctuations and Winter Foraging Ecology of Arctic Tundra Caribou
Project
Organization:
This PhD project used Inuit knowledge and aerial survey data across many years to analyse distribution, forage selection, foraging ecology, and physical condition of caribou in the arctic.
Long Term Population Fluctuations and Winter Foraging Ecology of Arctic Tundra Caribou
Resource
Caribou ( Rangifer tarandus) are affected by density-dependent and -independent processes at various temporal scales. Populations residing on Arctic tundra can be affected by both density-independent...
Manual of Plant Species Suitability for Reclamation in Alberta: 2nd Edition
Resource
The manual includes information on forty-four grasses, fourteen forbs and thirty-five trees and shrubs. The summary, presented in tabular form, provides, for key reclamation parameters,
Mapping and Characterization of Cutover Peatlands
Resource
Methodology for cost-effective soil survey and sampling of cutover peatlands, and obtaining baseline chemical information and data interpretation for peat materials to examine reclamation alternatives
Modelling Transverse Mixing of Sediment and Vanadium in a River Impacted by Oil Sands Mining Operations
Resource
A novel, quasi-two-dimensional surface water-quality modelling approach is presented in which the model domain can be discretised in two dimensions, but a one-dimension solver can still be applied to...
Motorized Activity on Legacy Seismic Lines: A Predictive Modeling Approach to Prioritize Restoration Efforts
Resource
Natural regeneration of seismic lines, cleared for hydrocarbon exploration, is slow and often hindered by vegetation damage, soil compaction, and motorized human activity. There is an extensive...
Mycorrhizal Studies Regarding the Reclamation of Oil Sand Tailings: Production and Outplanting of Jack Pine Seedlings and Amounts of VA- and Ectomycorrhizal Inoculum in Stockpiled Peat
Resource
Produce mycorrhizal jack pine seedlings in the greenhouse and initiate a field study on the Syncrude dyke on the effect of different ectomycorrhizal fungi on the growth of jack pine
Native Legumes for Reclamation in Alberta
Resource
4-year project to collect, multiply, evaluate, and select native legume species for inclusion in a native seed mixture being developed at AEC for reclamation in the mountains and foothills
Native Plant Invasion into Reclaimed Oil Sands Mine Sites
Resource
Slightly more invasion occurred on oil sands tailings sand sites seeded to native grasses and legumes, but much more invasion occurred on non-seeded sites
Nested Population Structure of Threatened Boreal Caribou Revealed by Network Analysis
Resource
Delineating relevant local populations of widely distributed species is a common challenge in conservation ecology. Caribou and reindeer ( Rangifer tarandus) are in general decline throughout their...
Northern Biochar for Northern Remediation and Restoration
Resource
Biochar is a soil amendment that results from heating various biological ingredients, such as wood, fish or animal bone under oxygen limited conditions and has proven to promote plant growth, as well...
Northern Boreal Caribou Conservation Should Focus on Anthropogenic Disturbance, not Disturbance-mediated Apparent Competition
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...
OIl Sands Sludge Dewatering by Freeze-Thaw and Evapotranspiration
Resource
The experiments detailed in this report show that it was possible to increase the solids content of sludge to 50% solids by adding three parts sand (tailings sand) to one part sludge.
