Controls on carbon and energy exchange by a black spruce–moss ecosystem: Testing the mathematical model Ecosys with data from the BOREAS Experiment
Download2001
Massheder, J.M., Berry, J.A., Scott, S.L., Rayment, M., Jarvis, P.G., Grant, R.F., Hale, S.E., Moncrieff, J.B.
Stomatal limitations to mass and energy exchange over boreal black spruce forests may be caused by low needle N concentrations that limit CO(2) fixation rates. These low concentrations may be caused by low N uptake rates from cold boreal soils with high soil C:N ratios and by low N deposition...

Current status of invasive alien birch-leafmining sawflies (Hymenoptera: Tenthredinidae) in Canada, with keys to species

MacQuarrie, C. J. K., Nystrom, K. L., Langor, D. W., Digweed, S. C., Williams, D. J. M., Morneau, L., Spence, J. R.
Abstract: In the 20th century, five species of birch-leafmining sawflies were inadvertently introduced from Europe to North America: Heterarthrus nemoratus (Fallen), Fenusa pumila Leach, Profenusa thomsoni (Konow), Fenusella nana (Klug), and Scolioneura vicina Konow. All have been recorded at...

Current uptake of 15N –labeled ammonium and nitrate in flooded and non-flooded black spruce and tamarack seedlings.

Macdonald, S. Ellen, Islam, M. Anisul
We investigated the effects of flooding for three weeks on physiological responses and uptake of NH4+ and NO3- by black spruce (Picea mariana (Mill.) BSP.) and tamarack (Larix laricina (Du Roi) K. Koch) seedlings fertilized with labeled (15NH4)2SO4 or K15NO3 in a growth chamber experiment....

Zhang, D. Y., He, F. L., Lin, K.
Abstract: The neutral theory of biodiversity has been criticized for its neglect of species differences. Yet it is much less heeded that S. P. Hubbell's definition of neutrality allows species to differ in their birth and death rates as long as they have an equal per capita fitness. Using the...

Zwiers, F.W., Gillett, N.P., Flannigan, M.D., Weaver, A.J.
The area burned by forest fires in Canada has increased over the past four decades, at the same time as summer season temperatures have warmed. Here we use output from a coupled climate model to demonstrate that human emissions of greenhouse gases and sulfate aerosol have made a detectable...

Differential growth and rooting of upland and peatland black spruce, Picea mariana, in drained and flooded soils
Download2007
A reciprocal experiment was analyzed to determine whether 30 open-pollinated families of peatland and upland populations of black spruce [Picea mariana (Mill.) B.S.P.] sampled from a single area in north-central Alberta, Canada, performed consistently when grown in either flooded or well-drained...
