摘要: Leatherdale, J., Chanasyk, D. S. and Quideau, 2012. Soil water regimes of reclaimed upland slopes in the oil sands region Alberta. Can. J. Sci. 92: 117–129. Large deposits Athabasca Alberta, Canada, are recovered through surface mining, creating a large-scale disturbance. Reclamation requires reconstruction soil profiles to return land equivalent capability support required end use. must be understood allow for planting appropriate vegetation species. This study quantified on various reclamation prescriptions determined whether was affected by slope position. Slope position did not have consistent effect water. Spatial variability characteristics distribution likely had greater influence than The upper highly dynamic response t...
