Reclaiming Wetlands after Oil Sands Mining in Alberta, Canada: The Changing Vegetation Regime at an Experimental Wetland
Surface mining for oil sand results in the formation of large pits that must be reclaimed. Some of these pits are backfilled with a myriad of substrates, including tailings rich in cations and anions, to form a solid surface. Experimental reclamation of the East in-pit located on the Syncrude Canada...
