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...

Development of compact fluorescent spectrometers and field deployable optical solids content monitoring devices
DownloadSpring 2015
Two techniques were used to develop industrial and environmental sensing devices: fluorescence spectrometry and light scatter. The focus of the thesis is to develop real-time, portable and economical sensors using these techniques for environmental detection and management of tailings slurries. A...

This research compared the variability/diversity of spectral information captured with spectrometers at the airborne, field, and leaf level to tree species diversity. Airborne measurements were made over the North Saskatchewan River Valley while field and leaf measurements were done with...

Local and regional demography in a migratory forest songbird and effects of forest management intensity
DownloadSpring 2014
The numerical response of forest birds to habitat alteration has been well documented in North America, but the underlying demographic processes driving these changes remain largely unknown. Among species sensitive to such alterations, the Ovenbird (Seiurus aurocapilla) shows one of the largest...

The Earth’s forests are of great economic, ecological, and social importance, and sustaining them is paramount for mitigating climate change. To successfully sus- tain forests we must understand their internal demographic dynamics and their relationship to climate. In this thesis, I developed...

Native tree seedling interactions with variations in edaphic properties in upland boreal forest restoration
DownloadSpring 2015
The boreal forest is a vast circumpolar ecosystem covering approximately 11 % of terrestrial land globally. The Canadian boreal forest is rich in natural resources such as lumber, minerals, and oil, and therefore is heavily managed by humans in some regions. Surface mining for oil sands deposits...

Natural regeneration in the boreal forest: seedling establishment and success in western North American and European boreal forests
DownloadFall 2014
As the costs and ecological implications of intensive forest management rise, alternative management strategies that minimize intervention become more desirable options, particularly natural regeneration. Two locations were studied: the boreal mixedwoods of western North America (Alberta) and...
