Masters thesis. Presents results of a field study undertaken in central Alberta. Three widely distributed native grass species were examined to determine if a local population had developed which was so specialized that it was unsuitable for alpine revegetation.

Oil sands mining removes large areas of vegetation and soil across the landscape, thus post-mining reclamation requires the development of reconstructed soils to support tree growth. These reconstructed soils are generally made up of a top layer of peat mineral soil mix, and an underlying layer...

In situ oil sands exploration (OSE) requires the creation of temporary drilling pads, which are often located in peatlands. These pads are created by removing trees and blading the fen surface, leaving windrows of peat along the pad edges; the pad is then frozen-in to create a level surface....
