When I compare this vegetation in the created wetlands that have received tailings,  I quickly realized that those wetlands are less diverse in species diversity.    And not only are they less diverse, but they are also colonized by species that we don\u2019t find usually in natural wetlands and in wetlands that do not contain that tailings.     Yeah, it is quite an interesting result, because obviously  if we come back to the objective, that is  to reclaim wetlands that are equivalent to the natural ones, then this might not happen for the open water zones.<br \/>\nAnd we get about the same story for the emergent zone as well,\n<\/p>\n<p>\nMarie-Claude  says one of the factors affecting plant diversity is differences in water chemistry between natural wetlands and those with process water.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nThanks today to  Syncrude Canada Ltd.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nFOR INNOVATION ANTHOLOGY<br \/>\nI\u2019M CHERYL CROUCHER\n<\/p>\n<h2>Guest<\/h2>\n<h3> , <\/h3>\n<h4>, , , , <\/h4>\n<h2>Sponsor<\/h2>\n<h3><a href=\"http:\/\/www.syncrude.com\">Syncrude<\/a><\/h3>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/innovationanthology.com\/uploads\/SyncrudeLogo.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Program Date:<\/strong>\u00a02011-04-28<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Getting the right plants to grow in<b> recreated wetlands<\/b> is the research topic for <b>Marie-Claude Roy,<\/b> a doctoral student in wetland ecology at the University of Alberta.
