This week, we need to do work to address a component of our application that requires immediate attention. As a result, you may experience ERA to be intermittently available. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, and thank you for your patience as we attend to the care and feeding of ERA!

Benefits of fertilization for white spruce and lodgepole pine trees depend on the reclamation substrate – overburden vs tailings sand

During reclamation of oil sands mines, overburden or tailings sand substrates are often capped with a peat mineral mix. These soils can exhibit a number of challenging properties, including low availability of water and nutrients such as nitrogen. Some trees planted on oil sands mines have started to show reduced growth and yellowed needles – signs of nitrogen deficiency. This study sought to determine the growth responses of white spruce and lodgepole pine to fertilization in reconstructed boreal forest soils.
