Mine Reclamation Monitoring of Shrub and Willow Trials in Yukon, 2002

Two mine reclamation projects sponsored by MERG were surveyed during the summer of 2002. The data likely contains observations from follow-up monitoring of shrub trial plots at Brewery Creek Mine and willow bioengineering trials at Noname Creek. The dataset is provided by the Government of Yukon.

Use Cases

• Evaluate shrub survival rates based on planting trials at Brewery Creek Mine
• Assess gully stabilization effectiveness based on willow cuttings used at Noname Creek
• Compare reclamation success across different mine site conditions mentioned in the description
• Identify improvements for future bioengineering projects based on recorded successes and failures

Strengths

• Focuses on two specific reclamation projects with detailed site descriptions
• Includes temporal coverage for planting (2000/2001) and follow-up monitoring (2002)
• Provided by a government organization (Government of Yukon) under an open license

Limitations

• Row count and column-level documentation are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download
• Data may reflect geographic bias inherent to open_canada, focusing on Yukon sites
