DOI: 10.1016/j.ecoleng.2021.106236
Abstract: Abstract Mine reclamation in the Athabasca oil sands region is legally required as companies must reconstruct disturbed landscapes into functioning ecosystems which previously existed in the Boreal landscape. Upland-wetland systems are relatively new in the… read more here.
