And off the surfaces of the plants that are growing, because we, of course have a very actively growing young forest.   We use weirs that are automated to measure the water that is flowing into and out of wetlands  Things like neutron access tubes that we insert soil moisture monitoring devices into.  And really looking a lot at water and carbon flux in the landscape.  <\/em>\n<\/p>\n<p>\nAccording to Clara Qualizza, these measurements are crucial to  reconstructing  complex forest hydrology after oil sands development.\n<\/p>\n<p><em><br \/>\nThanks today to <b>Syncrude Canada.    <\/em>\n<\/p>\n<p>\nLearn more at Innovation Anthology dot com\n <\/p>\n<p>\nI&#8217;M CHERYL CROUCHER  <\/b>\n<\/p>\n<h2>Guest<\/h2>\n<h3>Evelyn Merrill, PhD, <\/h3>\n<h4>University of Alberta, Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, <\/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>\u00a02008-09-25<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There is more to replacing the forest ecosystem after <b>oil sands mining<\/b> than simply filling up the hole with dirt and planting seeds.
