Fall 2015
Understanding the regeneration stage of any species is key to determining the processes that lead to population persistence and structure, community development, and succession. In the case of the endangered whitebark pine (Pinus albicaulis), knowledge of regeneration processes will be important...

Fall 2017
Ectomycorrhizal fungi are determinants of the success of pine regeneration in post-disturbance stands. These fungi promote resource acquisition and resistance in seedlings. They may alter plant chemistry in lodgepole pine (Pinus contorta var. latifolia), which may directly affect the success or...

The role of fine sediment in phosphorus dynamics and stream productivity in Rocky Mountain headwater streams: Possible long-term effects of logging
DownloadSpring 2014
Headwater streams in Alberta’s Rocky Mountains are important in regulating aquatic ecosystem function and a range of downstream water resources but are vulnerable to stresses imposed by disturbances including those exerted by logging. The objectives of this research were to determine if the...

The role of forage quantity and quality in the migration and diet of a northern ungulate during their neonatal period
DownloadFall 2024
Migration has evolved as a strategy to maximize survival and reproductive success, driven by the search for better resources and predator avoidance. For ungulates at high latitudes, the search for higher quality and more abundant forage has been proposed as one of the best explanations of...
