A Before-After Dose-Response (BADR) Terrestrial Biological Monitoring Framework for the Oil Sands
Resource
One of the theme areas monitored within the OSM program is terrestrial biodiversity, known programmatically as Terrestrial Biological Monitoring (TBM). Biodiversity refers to the diversity of wild...
A Burning Question: What are the Implications of Forest Fires for Woodland Caribou?
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...
A Comparative Study of Benthic Algal Primary Productivity in the AOSERP Study Area
Resource
Seasonal fluctuations in algal species and numbers were influenced by a myriad of interacting factors as were standing crop fluctuations. Numerically, cyanophycean algae dominated, followed by diatoms
A Financial Analysis of Using Improved Planting Stock of White Spruce and Lodgepole Pine in Alberta, Canada: Genomic Selection Versus Traditional Breeding
Resource
Genomics-assisted tree breeding (GATB) is an emerging biotechnology method that has the potential to produce improved planting stock in selected traits, such as greater volume or higher wood quality...
A Guide To Mosses And Liverworts Of Alberta Peatlands
Resource
The guide identifies 60 species of mosses and liverworts that comprise the flora of fens and bogs in Alberta and western boreal Canada, designed for use in the field and laboratory.
A Hydrogeological Landscape Framework to Identify Peatland Wildfire Smouldering Hot Sports
Resource
Northern peatlands are important global carbon stores, but there is concern that these boreal peat reserves are at risk due to increased fire frequency and severity as predicted by climate change...
A Hydrogeological Landscape Framework to Identify Peatland Wildfire Smouldering Hot Spots
Resource
This study used a combination of field measurements and modelling to assess the vulnerability of peat to smouldering in the Utikuma Region Study Area, Alberta, Canada.
A Life Cycle Approach to Vegetation Management on Reclaimed Industrial Sites
Resource
This resource is an excerpt from an issue of Canadian Reclamation (Issue 4, Vol 14) containing and article advising practitioners on best practices for vegetation management using the Life Cycle...
A Longitudinal Physico-chemical and Algal Survey of Five Rivers Flowing Through the AOSERP Study Area
Resource
Diatoms and blue-green algae dominated numericallyin five tributary rivers flowing into the Athabasca River except in the Hangingstone River where chlorophycean species replaced the latter group
A New Lake Classification Scheme for the Peace-Athabasca Delta (Canada) Characterizes Hydrological Processes that Cause Lake-level Variation
Resource
Recent drawdown of the delta’s abundant shallow lakes and rivers has deteriorated vital habitat for wildlife and impaired navigation routes. Here, we report continuous measurements at ~50 lakes during...
A New Method to Map Groundwater Table in Peatlands Using Unmanned Aerial Vehicles
Resource
Groundwater level (GWL) and depth to water (DTW) are related metrics aimed at characterizing groundwater-table positions in peatlands, and two of the most common variables collected by researchers...
A Regional-Scale Index for Assessing the Exposure of Drinking-Water Sources to Wildfires
Resource
Recent human-interface wildfires around the world have raised concerns regarding the reliability of freshwater supply flowing from severely burned watersheds. Degraded source water quality can often...
A Socioeconomic Evaluation of the Recreational Use of Fish and Wildlife Resources in Alberta, with Particular Reference to the AOSERP Study Area. Volume I: Summary and Conclusions
Resource
50,170 Albertans engaged in nonconsumptive fish and wildlife use in the AOSERP study area for a total of 83,393 recreation days during 1975-76.
