Persistence of subsoiling effects on the soil physical and hydraulic properties in a reconstructed soil
DownloadSpring 2016
Surface mining is one of the most significant forms of anthropogenic disturbance to natural and managed ecosystems. In Alberta, mining disturbs large areas in the Mixedwood Boreal natural region and recovery is often slow because of poor soil quality, specifically the high degree of compaction....

Potential carbon losses from peat profiles: effects of temperature, drought cycles and fire
Download1992
Wein, R. W., Hogg, E. H., Lieffers, V. J.
Abstract: Global warming and the resultant increase in evapotranspiration might lead to lowered water tables in peatlands and an increase in fire frequency. The objective of this study was to investigate some of the potential effects of these changes on peat decomposition. Dry mass losses and...
