A preliminary vegetation survey of the Alberta oil sands environmental research program study area
Download1976
Limited time and access constraints restricted this preliminary vegetation survey to Townships 85-103, Ranges 6-12, west of the 4th meridian. This area centres on sites of maximum development north of Fort McMurray (i .e. the GCOS and Sync rude leases). Eighty-four stands were chosen as...

Baseline condition of jack pine biomonitoring plots in the Athabasca oil sands area 1976-1977
Download1980
In 1976-77, a set of 13 jack pine biomonitoring sites was established in the Athabasca Oil Sands area in order to biomonitor both impingement and impact of emissions characteristic of oil sands extraction operations. No measureable air pollutant effect was observed on either vascular or lichen...

Dunsworth, B. G., Takyi, S. K., Sherstabetoff, J. N.
AOSERP project VE 7.1 was initiated to carry out field investigations in the revegetation of oi1 sands mine wastes (waste dumps and tailing sand) with trees and shrubs. The main objective of the project is to select species of trees and shrubs which are adapted to conditions on these waste...

Fedkenheuer, A. W., Chu, C. B.
The plants referred to in this report were initially established on the AOSERP Mildred Lake Camp area in 1977. The objectives of the program were to establish grass, shrub and tree species for evaluation of their response, particularly their reproduction response, to the climatic and edaphic...

The extraction of bitumen from the Athabasca Oil Sands can be considered successful only if workable and economically feasible methods of reclamation of the area following mining are developed. This is the purpose of the Alberta Oil Sands Environmental Research Program's Vegetation Technical...

During 1976, a variety of methods and materials were used in the search for afforestation practices that will assist in the establishment of a self sustaining vegetation cover compatible with land use objectives for the Alberta oil sands area. The project study area is located on the Great,...
