Microbial communities and biogeochemical functioning across peatlands in the Athabasca Oil Sands region of Canada: Implications for reclamation and management

Journal Article Allingham, Shaun M. ; Nwaishi, Felix C. ; Andersen, Roxane ; ... - Land Degradation and Development

Abstract Peatlands play an important role in global biogeochemical cycles and are essential for multiple ecosystem functions. Understanding the environmental drivers of microbial functioning and community structure can provide insights to enable effective and evidence‐based management. However, it remains largely unknown how microbial diversity contributes to the functioning of belowground processes. Addressing this gap in knowledge will provide a better understanding of microbial‐mediated processes in peatlands that are undergoing restoration or reclamation. This study assessed the changes in microbial community diversity and structure as well as soil function by measuring microbial respiration on a range of substrates from three naturalmore »« less

Trace fossils from the Athabasca oil sands, Alberta, Canada

Journal Article Pemberton, S G ; Flach, P D ; Mossop, G D - Science (Washington, D.C.); (United States)

A diverse and well-preserved ichnofossil suite has been identified from surface exposures of the middle and upper parts of the Lower Cretaceous McMurray Formation. The suite, consisting of representatives of at least ten ichnogenera, is one of the few clues to the original biotic component of the deposit. The distribution and abundance of these biogenic structures present strong evidence that the deep channel complex in which the sediments were deposited was closely associated with a nearby marine shoreline.

The McMurray/Wabiskaw Oil Sands Deposit, Athabasca Oil Sands Area, northern Alberta, Canada: Electronic database for resource characterization

Conference Wynne, D A ; Wightman, D M ; Attalla, M

The McMurray/Wabiskaw stratigraphic interval contains approximately 142 x 10{sup 9} m{sup 3} of bitumen in the Athabasca Oil Sands Area, northeastern Alberta. A regional mapping project has established a sequence stratigraphic framework and documented the bitumen, gas, and water resources, for this interval. These data have been organized in an electronic database to facilitate mapping and data management. The database contains stratigraphic picks and well log analyses for about 2200 wells. Well log analyses were calibrated to core analyses as about one-third of the wells were cored in this stratigraphic interval. Well log analyses, calculated for each 0.25 m ofmore »« less
Sodic hazard: the effect of SAR and salinity in soils and overburden materials

Journal Article Jurinak, J J ; Amrhein, C ; Wagenet, R J - Soil Sci.; (United States)

The authors studied the effect of salinity and sodium adsorption ratio (SAR) on the modified Gapon selectivity coefficient (k/sub g/') using Yolo loam soil and two (sodic) coal mine overburden materials designated surface and deep. The SAR treatments varied in value from 5 to 80 (mmol/L)/sup 1/2/ in an electrolyte solution (NaCl + CaCl/sub 2/) concentration range of 10 to 500 meq/L. When all treatment effects were combined, the k/sub g/' values were 0.0097, 0.0087, and 0.0079 (mmol/L)/sub -1/2/ for Yolo loam, surface, and deep overburden, respectively. In contrast to the other two systems, the deep overburden exhibited a steadilymore »« less
