Competition Impacts on Hybrid Poplar and Implications for Alternative Establishment Systems
DownloadSpring 2015
The effects of different vegetation control practices on tree-weed interactions and associated establishment and early tree growth were investigated in 1-3 year old hybrid poplar plantations containing Walker poplar (Populus deltoides x (P. laurifolia x P. nigra)) and its progeny Okanese poplar...

Impact of Mountain Pine Beetle Attack on Water Balance of Lodgepole Pine Forests in Alberta
DownloadSpring 2013
In recent decades mountain pine beetle (MPB) has become an important natural disturbance agent in western Canada, thus the impact of this disturbance will likely be an important component affecting water resources in this region. Despite the widespread recognition of the potential changes, there...

The root distribution, architecture, transpiration and root sapflow dynamics of mature trembling aspen (Populus tremuloides) growing along a hillslope
DownloadFall 2013
The objectives of this study were to explore comparative controls by atmospheric and belowground variables governing transpiration of trembling aspen (Populus tremuloides) growing along a water limited hillslope. Vertical and horizontal root distribution, intra- and inter-clonal root connections,...
