The role of microtopography in vegetation colonization and early forest development on mine reclamation sites
DownloadSpring 2023
Microsite heterogeneity is an important variable that drives biodiversity in forests. Current forest reclamation practices often do not incorporate site heterogeneity in their practices which might pose a challenge to the reclamation goals of restoring disturbed sites to resilient and sustainable...

Toward conservation of Canada's boreal forest avifauna: Design and application of ecological models at continental extents
Download2010
Cumming, S. G., Bayne, E., Schmiegelow, F. K. A., Fontaine, T., Song, S. J., Lefevre, K.
Abstract: Human development is increasing pressure on North America's mainly intact boreal forest. We outline the need for a comprehensive synthesis of existing data and for effective scientific tools to support conservation of this biome and of the birds that depend on it. To illustrate how...

Trembling aspen seedling establishment, growth and response to fertilization on contrasting soils used in oil sands reclamation.
Download2012
Landhäusser, S. M., Chow, P. S., MacKenzie, M. D., Pinno, B. D., Quideau, S. A.
Trembling aspen (Populus tremuloides) is an important tree species for land reclamation. This study determined trembling aspen germination, establishment, initial growth and response to fertilizer on contrasting oil sands reclamation soils. In a greenhouse, eight soils varying in total nitrogen...

Use of an Acoustic Location System to Understand Songbird Response to Vegetation Regeneration on Reclaimed Wellsites in the Boreal Forest of Alberta
DownloadFall 2017
Limited information exists on the recovery of different ecosystem components following reclamation of oil and gas wellsites in the boreal forest of Alberta. Songbird response to wellsite reclamation efforts in the boreal forest was previously unexamined, despite the abundance of wellsites,...

Use of Bioacoustic Technology to Evaluate Habitat Use and Road Effects on Two Anuran Amphibians in the Boreal Region of Northeastern Alberta
DownloadFall 2017
Habitat loss and fragmentation are thought to be leading causes behind local to global amphibian declines. Recent expansion of the energy sector in the western boreal forest of northeastern Alberta raises concerns for amphibians that occupy this landscape. Methods for monitoring anuran amphibians...

Variations in jack pine (Pinus banksiana) monoterpene composition and subsequent effects on pheromone production by mountain pine beetle (Dendroctonus ponderosae)
DownloadSpring 2015
The secondary compounds of pines (Pinus) can strongly affect the physiology, ecology and behaviour of bark beetles (Coleoptera: Curculionidae, Scolytinae) that feed on host sub-cortical tissues. Jack pine (Pinus banksiana) has a wide distribution range in North America and thus variations in its...
