Evaluating terrestrial-aquatic linkages in the Canadian Rocky Mountains: Eiffel Lake and Sentinel Lake, Banff National Park
DownloadSpring 2011
This study examined if nutrient loading of phosphorus-rich pollen into small mountain lakes has a significant impact on lake productivity. Increased pollen input into lakes due to changes in vegetation (e.g., timberline advance) may increase lake production. Deteriorated pollen was recorded for...

Stockability, relative density and productivity: investigating their link in boreal mixedwoods
DownloadSpring 2014
I explore and evaluate the use of indicators of density and stand composition in analyzing key aspects of the dynamics of boreal stands comprised primarily by trembling aspen (Populus tremuloides Michx.) and white spruce (Picea glauca (Moench) Voss. in western Canada. First, using repeated...
