Interim report on ecological studies on the lower trophic levels of muskeg rivers within the Alberta oil sands environmental research program study area
Download1979
This project (AF 2.0.2) was conducted in 1977-78 as a planned complement of another project (AF 2.0.1) on invertebrate resources. The scope of this project was to investigate productivity in the oil sands region and it involved both baseline data collection and manipulation experiments....

Interim report on physiology and mechanisms of air-borne pollutant injury to vegetation, 1975 to 1978
Download1979
Biochemical studies conducted under controlled conditions suggested that low concentrations of SO2 which normally do not produce any visual symptoms on the foliage cause injury to forest vegetation by altering pigment (chlorophyll, phaeophytin and chlorophyllide) metabolism, by inhibiting lipid...

Interim report on reclamation for afforestation by suitable native and introduced tree and shrub species
Download1979
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...

Interim report on small mammal populations and related tree damage in the AOSERP study area, October and November 1977
Download1977
The afforestation program in the Athabasca Oil Sands area has been only moderately successful, because of the high mortality of the planted seedlings--much of which Is believed to be the result of high levels of small mammal damage. The objectives of the present study were: (1) to determine the...

Interim report on symptomology and threshold levels of air pollutant injury to vegetation, 1975 to 1978
Download1979
Malhotra, S. S., Addison, P. A.
Six boreal forest plant species were fumigated in a newly developed environmental growth chamber with SO2 control capability,for up to 40 days at 0.34 ppm SO2. All species showed a gradual decline in CO2 gas exchange which was related to symptom development characteristic of SO2 toxicity. Paper...

Interim report on symptomology and threshold levels of air pollutant injury to vegetation, 1978-79
Download1979
Malhotra, S. S., Addison, P. A.
The dominant woody boreal forest plant species were fumigated with 0.34 ppm SO2 under controlled conditions in the laboratory in order to rank their physiological and visual sensitivities to the air pollutant. Deciduous trees and shrubs were much more sensitive than conifers, presumably because...

Turchenek, L. W., Lindsay, J. D.
The soils inventory of the AOSERP study area using the ecological approach to land classification was continued during 1979. All field checking and soil sampling was completed during the 1979 summer field season. Samples were taken from eight mineral and eight organic soil profiles. In...

Lindsay, J. D., Turchenek, L. W.
Soil mapping of the AOSERP study area using the ecological or biophysical approach to land classification was continued in 1978. Work consisted of air photo interpretation, field checking, preparation of interim maps, and analysis of soil samples. About 150 townships were field checked during...

Inventory of selected raptor, colonial, and sensitive bird species in the Athabasca oil sands area of Alberta
Download1980
Ealey, D., Beaver, R., Munson, B., Fyfe, R.
A three-year inventory of selected rare, endangered and sensitive bird species in the Athabasca Oil Sands area of northeastern Alberta was completed in the late summer of 1977. Aerial and ground surveys of the Alberta Oil Sands Environmental Research Program (AOSERP) study area and selected...
