Nyborg, M., Takyi, S.K., Rowell, M.H., McGill, W.B.
One of the major environmental problems which arises with surface mining of the oil sands in the Fort McMurray-Fort MacKay area of Alberta is the permanent loss of the natural vegetation and the drastic change in the soils that supported it. It has been estimated that with a production target of...
