COARSE WOODY DEBRIS EFFECTS ON BIOGEOCHEMISTRY IN TWO RECONSTRUCTED SOILS IN THE ATHABASCA OIL SANDS REGION IN ALBERTA, CANADA
DownloadFall 2015
Forest floor mineral soil mix (FMM) and peat mineral soil mix (PMM) are cover soils commonly used for land reclamation post open pit oil sands mining in northern Alberta, Canada. While in such land reclamation practices the organic matter comes from the peat material salvaged before land...

Effects of Root Zone pH, Calcium and Phosphorus Supply on Selected Boreal Forest Plant Species
DownloadSpring 2015
Soil pH is among the major environmental factors affecting plant growth. In the reclaimed areas following open-pit oil sands mining in northeastern Alberta, Canada, the pH of reclaimed soil is commonly higher than 8.0. The optimum range of soil pH for growth and the tolerance of pH extremes...

Nutrient Loading of Aspen, Jack Pine and White Spruce Seedlings for Potential Out-planting in Oil Sands Reclamation
DownloadFall 2012
Low nutrient availability and competing vegetation are some of the issues facing tree crop establishment for land reclamation in the oil sands region. A possible solution to both problems is to load seedlings with nutrients while they are in the nursery. Here, I report on results from a research...

SOIL BIOGEOCHEMICAL PROCESSES AND FINE ROOT DYNAMICS OF VEGETATION IN LFH MINERAL SOIL MIX AND PEAT MINERAL SOIL MIX ORGANIC CAPPING MATERIALS USED FOR OIL SANDS RECLAMATION
DownloadFall 2016
Peat mineral soil mix (PMM) and LFH, identifiable litter (L), fragmented litter (F) and humus (H), mineral soil (MS) mix are organic capping materials commonly used over overburden (OB) and tailings sand (TS) substrate materials in oil sands reclamation. These organic capping materials have...

Fall 2015
The recent open pit mining for oil sands in the Athabasca Oil Sands Region (AOSR), northern Alberta has created an unprecedented industrial scale disturbance whose ecological consequences is not well understood, and requires intensive investigation. This study focused on the temporal dynamics of...
