Growth responses of 20 boreal forest species to oil sandsnon-segregating tailings: significance for reclamation
Download2023-01-24
Wen-Qing, Zhang, Killian G. Fleurial, Michelle Moawad, Robert Vassov, Ellen Macdonald, Janusz J. Zwiazek
Oil sands mining in northeastern Alberta, Canada, generates tailings containing sand, silt, clay, water, and residual bitumenwith hydrocarbons. The impact of tailings on revegetation is a major environmental concern and poses a significant land rec-lamation challenge. Oil sands companies have...

The greenhouse gas (GHG) balance of boreal peatlands in permafrost regions will be affected by climate change through disturbances such as permafrost thaw and wildfire. Although the future GHG balance of boreal peatlands including ponds is dominated by the exchange of both carbon dioxide (CO2)...

Photoreforming of biomass to value-added chemicals and fuels is a chemical approach to extract photosynthetically-trapped energy in complex biomolecules which otherwise disintegrate naturally in the environment. Designing precise photocatalytic materials that can selectively break the sturdy,...

Shooshtarian, Ashan and Anderson, Jay A. and Luckert, Marty K. and Armstrong, Glen W.
We develop a forest-level model that considers hybrid poplar plantations on private and public land, and estimates how the plantations impact harvest levels and net present values. With this model we simulate three policy changes: 1) hybrid plantations on private lands, with allowable annual cuts...

Bitumen recovery from oil sands in northeastern Alberta, Canada produces large volumes of tailings, which are deposited in mining areas that must be reclaimed upon mine closure. A new technology of non-segregated tailings (NST) developed by Canadian Natural Resources Limited (CNRL) was designed...
