          File consists of a list of documents from the Department of Fisheries and Oceans that were created between 1977 and 1994 and released to the public through Access to Information Act requests or other means. The list includes requested records that were not made available because they are exempt from the Access to Information Act.

          Part of Dr. Paul Sanborn fonds

          At the Kenneth Creek installation (Ministry of Forests E.P. 886.13), a 7-year litterbag experiment was installed October 15 1997, following the methods of the Canadian Intersite Decomposition Experiment (Trofymow et al., 1998), as also applied by Sanborn and Brockley (2009) in an experiment connected to E.P. 1185. Litterbags contained two initial materials – pine needle litter collected from the Control and ON2 (highest rate of annual fertilization) treatments – were emplaced in the Control and ON2 plots.

          Results of this experiment have not been published, but data have been shared with collaborator Bjorn Berg (Uppsala).

          2023.2.2.15.2 · Sub-subseries · 1995-2006
          Part of Dr. Paul Sanborn fonds

          Litterfall was collected at the Kenneth Creek installation for 4 years (May 1995-May 1999), using the litter trap design of Hughes et al. (1987). Initially, 10 traps were installed at random locations in each of the 18 plots (all 6 treatments), but an analysis of litterfall data for the first collection period and consultation with a statistician resulted in relocation of traps so that greater sampling intensity would be gained for a smaller number of treatments (4 treatments, with 15 traps per plot).

          The following Excel files are the primary lab reports from the Ministry of Forests analytical laboratory. At the time of this study, the lab reports would only use a minimal sample identification consisting of a sequential number (1, 2 … etc.) for each sample in a job. The submitter had to maintain their own records to link that sequential number in the report to something more meaningful – in this case, the tag number on the litterbag, the litter type, and the plot number – as recorded in my consolidated file Kenneth Creek Litterbag Sample Numbering.xlsx

          • T458FINL.xls [Most of the data in this file – samples 7-31 – are for litter trap samples in the fall 1997 collection, but the first 6 are triplicate analyses of the initial pine needle litter materials used in the litterbags: #1-3 are Control, and #4-6 are ON2.]

          Includes the following data sets from Kenneth Creek installation litterfall collection:

          Traps were emptied 3 times per year (May, August, October) and the weights of the sorted contents of each trap were reported for each collection interval in these files:

          Sorted litter trap materials – composited for each plot and sampling date – were submitted annually to the Ministry of Forests and Range Analytical Chemistry Laboratory for analysis.

          Film begins with aerial footage of mountains believed to be around Bella Coola. Then recording of men loading barrels, supposedly of gas, into a boat using a "home made" winch and boom construction. They ferry the barrels up stream, the river is assumed to be Dean River. and use a similar construction to bring the barrels to shore.

          There is also footage of men fishing in the river.
