Vaartnou & Sons Enterprises Ltd.
Laboratory studies were conducted during 1976 to investigate native grasses and legumes potentially useful for revegetation on various soils. Plant growth was tested in various soils with and without the addition of fertilizer in the greenhouse and ill growth chambers. The Genera tested were:...

Review and annotated bibliography of stream diversion and stream restoration techniques and associated effects on aquatic biota
Download1978
Stream diversion projects in the Alberta Oil Sands Environmental Research Program study area that have been or will be required in the course of oil sands development are outlined. The effects of stream diversions on aquatic life, natural recovery of stream ecosystems from the effects of...

Role of host identity, stand composition, soil type and disturbance severity in structuring ectomycorrhizal communities in the boreal forest
DownloadSpring 2018
The symbiosis between trees and ectomycorrhizal fungi (EMF) is essential for tree establishment and survival in the boreal forest because it is a disturbance prone ecosystem characterized by long harsh winters and low nutrient mobility. Ectomycorrhizal fungal community composition can be...

Salt Affected Soils And Their Relationships With Plant Communities On Reclamation Well Sites
DownloadFall 2020
Salt affected soils are common around the world from natural causes or anthropogenic activities. Over 1030 million hectares of land worldwide are affected by salt or at risk of being affected. In Alberta, saline and sodic soils may occur with oil and gas production, increasing the risk of...
