Growth and Physiological Responses of Conifer Seedlings to Salt Stress and Nutrient Deficiency
DownloadSpring 2018
Oil sands extraction and refining can cause many negative environmental impacts and because these activities usually take place in the forest region, the Government of Alberta requires that, after mine sites are closed, the companies perform reclamation. The properties of reclaimed oil sands...

Caners, Richard T., Lieffers, Victor J., Ge, Hangfei
Winter exploration of oil sands deposits underlying wooded fens mostly eliminates the hummock-hollow topography on drilling pads and the ice roads leading to them, after their abandonment in spring. Recovery of black spruce (Picea mariana (P. Mill.) B.S.P.) and tamarack (Larix laricina (Du Roi)...

Stockey, R.A., Rothwell, G.W., Hernandez-Castillo, G.R., Mapes, G.
A new plant concept for the extinct conifer species Emporia lockardii (Mapes&Rothwell) Mapes&Rothwell (Emporiaceae) is developed from fossils collected at the Late Pennsylvanian Hamilton Quarry, Kansas. Emporia lockardii has lateral plagiotropic branches with simple and forked leaves, simple...
