A bryophyte perspective on forest harvest: The effects of logging on above- and below-ground bryophyte communities in coastal temperate rainforests
DownloadSpring 2013
This thesis examines patterns in bryophyte species richness and composition on the forest floor and in the soil diaspore bank of temperate rainforest stands which varied in time post-harvest. Quantitative data (abundance) was assessed in quadrats (25x25cm) on soil, decaying logs, and tree bases...

Abstract: An improved corer and associated equipment for obtaining continuous samples of frozen peat are described. We developed the system through laboratory and field trials-on Bathurst Island, Nunavut, Canada in 2000 and Nordvesto, Carey Islands, Greenland, in 2001-as part of efforts to...

Benthic Responses to Nitrogen and Phosphorus Deposition on Alpine Ponds in Banff National Park: A Replicated Whole-Ecosystem Experiment
DownloadFall 2012
Nitrogen (N) and Phosphorous (P) deposition at high elevations has increased by 40% over the last fifteen years, causing concern for the 3000+ alpine ponds in Banff National Park. A novel whole-ecosystem experiment was used to test for the effects of elevated N and P deposition on benthic...

Conservation and ecology of bryophytes in partially harvested boreal mixed-wood forests of west-central Canada
DownloadFall 2010
This thesis examined the efficacy of residual forest structure for the preservation and recovery of bryophytes five to six years after partial canopy harvest in boreal mixed-wood forests of northwestern Alberta, Canada. Bryophytes were sampled in two forest types that differed in pre-harvest...

Dematiaceous hyphomycetes are a taxonomically diverse artificial assemblage of conidial fungi that have dark pigments known as melanins in their walls. Select dematiaceous hyphomycetes from the Coniochaetales, Pleosporales, and Helotiales obtained from arctic and alpine bryophytes and vascular...

Tonn, W.M., Katopodis, C., Jones, N.E., Scrimgeour, G.J.
We examined spatiotemporal variation in the physical, chemical, and biological characteristics of pristine streams that represent a range of conditions near Lac de Gras in the Barrenlands region of the Northwest Territories, Canada. Principal component analysis organized streams into four groups...

Examination of Wet Meadow Creation as a Restoration Option for Extracted Peatland Sites in Alberta
DownloadSpring 2014
Question: Can a wet meadow plant community be established on abandoned peatlands through broadcast plant diaspore spreading in western Canada? Does fertilization impact the development and establishment of the wet meadow? Location: Evansburg, Alberta, Canada Methods: Wet meadow vascular and...

Fire history, landscape biodiversity and indicators for sustainable management of the boreal mixedwood forest
DownloadSpring 2012
I examined the response of invertebrate assemblages to the forest mosaic established by past fire events, and tested the performance of trees as biodiversity surrogates in accurately reflecting relationships between fire history and invertebrate assemblages. Over 80 % of the studied landscape...

Spring 2016
After decades of recent fire exclusion in southern Alberta, Canada, forests are progressively aging and landscape mosaics are departing from their historical conditions. A large-scale fire history study spanning three natural subregions: Subalpine, Montane and Upper Foothills, was undertaken to...
