Deltaic Ecosystem Health, Oil Sands Region

Deltaic Wetlands Biomonitoring

Wetland macroinvertebrates, comprising insects, crustaceans, molluscs and worms represent a group of organisms forming a critical food resource for consumer organisms (e.g. fish, birds), that are used widely in environmental monitoring programs to assess both the short-and long-term effects of change associated with water quality or physical habitat conditions on aquatic ecosystem health.

Macroinverebrate samples from the Peace-Athabasca Delta have been collected annually since the initial reconnaissance year (2011). In addition, supporting water chemistry samples were collected at each site on the same date.

The species richness of invertebrates recorded in the Peace-Athabasca Delta sites was reflective of the complex and diverse habitats found in that area, although definitive conclusions regarding natural variations and impacts of development will require several more years of sampling. The integration of the resulting macroinvertebrate data with supporting environmental information is ongoing at this time.

Biomonitoring Water Quality

Verified and validated water quality data from fall of 2011 through to the fall of 2013 collected to support Invertebrate and Ecosystem Health studies. Data was collected at twenty-one sites on the mainstem of the Athabasca River, sixty sites on its major tributaries and twenty-nine sites in the expanded geographic area, including deltaic wetlands and several streams.

The data include measures of nutrients, metals (dissolved and total), polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and major ions. Along with other environmental measures, the data are used to determine factors affecting the status and trends in the benthic invertebrate community composition and contribute to assessment of the health of the aquatic ecosystem.

Bedrock geological map of Canada 1:5 000 000

The map displays bedrock formations at or near the surface of the land, on the sea floor above the continental crust that forms the Canadian landmass, and oceanic crust surrounding the landmass. The bedrock units are grouped and coloured according to geological age and composition. The colours of offshore units and oceanic crust are paler and more generalized than those on land, although the constituent units offshore are still easily discernible from their dashed boundaries. This colour design, coupled with the use of a white buffer zone at the coast allows the coastline of Canada to be readily distinguished and still show the grand geological architecture of the Canadian landmass.  
  
  The map also shows major faults that have disrupted the Earth's crust, onshore and offshore, and a variety of special geological features such as kimberlite pipes, which locally contain diamonds, impact structures suspected to have been caused by meteorites, and extinct and active spreading centres in the surrounding oceans.

The effects of pharmaceuticals on a unionid mussel (Lampsilis siliquoidea): An examination of acute and chronic endpoints of toxicity across life stages

The toxicity and bioconcentration of 3 pharmaceuticals (amitriptyline, iopamidol, and sertraline) were examined using multiple life stages (larval, juvenile, and adult) of the unionid mussel Lampsilis siliquoidea. The endpoints examined varied with life stage but included survival, behavior (algal clearance rate, filtering frequency), and oxidative stress. Glochidia and juveniles were more sensitive than adult mussels. However, the compounds examined were not toxic at concentrations detected in the environment. The results suggest that glochidia toxicity could be a screening tool for rapidly assessing the toxicity of chemicals of concern to freshwater mussels. Results were published in a scientific article that can be found here: https://doi.org/10.1002/etc.3683

Climate Warming - Global Annual Temperature Scenario: 2100

A simulation of projected changes in annual mean temperatures from the period 1975 to 1995 to the period 2080 to 2100 is shown on this map. Geographically, the temperature changes would not be evenly distributed. According to this projection, the Arctic would experience the greatest annual mean warming followed by other areas in northern Canada and central and northern Asia. Temperatures generally increase as the century progresses as a consequence of the projected increase in greenhouse gas concentrations in the atmosphere. The results are based on climate change simulations made with the Coupled Global Climate Model developed by Environment Canada.

Climate Warming - Global Summer Precipitation Scenario: 2050

A simulation of projected changes in June-August precipitation from the period 1975 to 1995 to the period 2040 to 2060 is shown on this map. On average, precipitation increases, but it is not evenly distributed geographically. There are marked regions of decreasing, as well as increasing precipitation, over both land and ocean. Annual average precipitation generally increases over northern continents, and particularly during the winter. Warmer surface temperature would speed up the hydrological cycle at least partially, resulting in faster evaporation and more precipitation. The results are based on climate change simulations made with the Coupled Global Climate Model developed by Environment Canada.

Fodder Crops and Intensive Crops

Contained within the 3rd Edition (1957) of the Atlas of Canada is a map that shows seven condensed maps showing the distribution of areas devoted to growing fodder, hay, corn for silage, sugar beets, potatoes, vegetable crops, orchards, and tobacco circa 1951. The hay map includes all cultivated hay, including alfalfa sown alone but excluding oats and other grains for hay. For the vegetable map, the crops include cabbage, carrots, beans, peas, onions, sweet corn, tomatoes, asparagus, beets, cauliflower, celery, lettuce, and spinach but exclude potatoes, turnips, swedes and mangolds. Except for Newfoundland, the vegetables were grown mainly for sale. The two maps dealing with orchards show only the acreage devoted to tree fruits, mainly apples, pears, peaches, plums and cherries. Farms with fewer than 25 fruit trees were ignored, as were fruit trees that were definitely abandoned and worthless. The maps on this plate are accompanied by pie charts showing the percentage distribution of seeded or planted areas by province for each type of crop.

Agricultural Regions

Contained within the 3rd Edition (1957) of the Atlas of Canada is a map that shows two condensed maps illustrating the division of Canada into agricultural regions based on the percentage of total gross farm revenue obtained from a particular source in 1951. The four primary divisions were made according to specific criteria. For Livestock Specialty divisions 70% or more of the gross farm revenue was from sales of livestock and livestock products. This was divided into three subdivisions: Dairy Emphasis, where sales of dairy products made up over 40% of total sales; Cattle Emphasis, where sales of cattle made up over 40% of sales; and General, where neither dairy products or cattle sales represented over 40% of total sales of livestock and livestock products. For Grain Specialty divisions 70% or more of the gross farm revenue was from sales of grain and hay. This was divided into two subdivisions: General, where no single crop acreage exceeded 40% of the total acreage; and Wheat, where the wheat acreage exceeded 40% of the total acreage. For Combination Grain and Livestock divisions less than 70% of the gross farm revenue was from either crops or livestock. This was divided into two subdivisions: Cash Crop Emphasis, where the gross revenue from cash crops and grain exceeded that of livestock; and Livestock Emphasis, where the gross revenue from livestock exceeded that from grain and cash crops. For Special Crops divisions 50% or more of the gross farm revenue was from some special crops. This was divided into three subdivisions: Tobacco or Potatoes, where 50% or more of the gross farm revenue was from sales of tobacco, potatoes or other root crops; Fruits and Vegetables, where 50% or more of the gross farm revenue was from sales of fruits and vegetables; and Forest Products, where 50% or more of the gross farm revenue was from sales of forest products. Variations within the subdivisions were the basis for a further breakdown into 266 regions to each of which a number and name were assigned.
