Journal Articles & Research Abstracts (Helmholtz-Alberta Initiative)
These are peer-reviewed articles and abstracts that can be openly shared according to publisher policies. The research was funded in part by the Helmholtz-Alberta Initiative, which is an independent international research partnership that effectively amalgamates the scientific and technical expertise of the Helmholtz Association of German Research Centres and the University of Alberta to jointly develop solutions to key challenges in fields such as energy, ecosystem and resource informatics, and health.

Growth of aspen and white spruce on naturally saline sites in northern Alberta: implications for development of boreal forest vegetation on reclaimed saline soils.
Download2012
Lilles, E.B., Purdy, B.G., Chang, S.X., Macdonald, S.E.
We examined height and basal area growth over time for trembling aspen and white spruce in plots along a salinity gradient at six naturally saline sites in northern Alberta, as a benchmark for forest productivity on reclaimed saline sites. We measured root distributions and analyzed foliage for...

Christensen, A. F., Dyck, M. F., Turner, L. E., Chanasyk, D. S., Naeth, M. A., He, H., Nichol, C.
Understanding the soil and climatic conditions affecting the partitioning of snowmelt to runoff and infiltration during spring snow ablation is a requisite for water resources management and environmental risk assessment in cold semi-arid regions. Soil freezing and thawing processes, snowmelt...
