Agroforestry and Biochar for Climate Change Mitigation: Carbon Storage, Soil Carbon Cycling, and Greenhouse Gas Emissions
DownloadFall 2022
Agroforestry systems (AFS) and the application of organic amendments in croplands can contribute to carbon (C) sequestration and reduction in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from agricultural lands. However, previously understudied differences among AFS and organic amendments may underestimate...

Characterization of Soil Spatial Heterogeneity and Improvement of Capping Materials for Oil Sands Mine Reclamation
DownloadFall 2018
Surface mining in the Athabasca Oil Sands Region (AOSR), Alberta, Canada creates a large-scale ecosystem disturbance requiring ‘land reclamation’. Mining approvals require that land reclamation returns the sites to an equivalent land capability class, but this goal has proven challenging to...

Fall 2019
Canada is committed to reducing its greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions to mitigate the effects of global warming. A major source of GHG emissions is coal-based power generation. Replacing (fossil) coal with biomass-based feedstocks for the generation of electricity could help reduce these emissions....

The effects of biochar-manure on crop yield, greenhouse gases, and organic matter stability in an Orthic Gray Luvisol
DownloadSpring 2023
Cattle production contributes to the largest portion of livestock agricultural greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in Canada, mainly in the form of methane (CH4). Therefore, there is interest in the modification of livestock diet composition to try and reduce the emission of CH4, resulting in a...

The physical and chemical properties associated with different soil materials are arguably the most important factor affecting early seedling growth and survival as they determine the amount of rooting space, nutrients and water available to planted seedlings. The likelihood of successful...
