Open-pit mining of oil sands removes wetland plant communities from the landscape. Sandhill Watershed, located on Syncrude Canada’s oil sands lease, is the first reclamation of a complex watershed that includes a 17 ha central wetland designed to develop into a rich fen. Here we sample the vegetation after three years. Of the 124 plant species recorded, 48% are peat-forming species, including 24 bryophyte species. We identified, using ordination techniques, four plant assemblages that vary in abundance of peat-forming plants. Each assemblage occurs in a spatially distinct area of Sandhill Fen, forming vegetation zones that are closely associated with height of water table. The plant assemblage distributed in the wettest areas has abundant marsh species. The assemblages in the driest areas of the fen have large numbers of upland and weed species and few species characteristic of fens. In between is a species assemblage with an abundance of species characteristic of natural peat-forming habitats. Two key fi...
