Ecophysiological adaptations of black spruce (Picea mariana) and tamarack (Larix laricina) seedlings to flooding.
Download2004
Macdonald, S. Ellen, Islam, M. Anisul
Black spruce and tamarack are the predominant tree species in boreal peatlands. The effects of flooding on morphological and physiological responses were investigated in greenhouse grown (18 months old) black spruce (Picea mariana) and tamarack (Larix laricina) seedlings for 34 days. Flooding...

Olson, E.C.S., Miller, J.J., Chanasyk, D.S.
This two-year study examined the effects of two types of bedding materials (straw and wood chips) and two within-pen locations (bedding pack and pen floor) on various feedlot runoff parameters in southern Alberta, Canada, using a rainfall simulator Bedding type affected antecedent factors and...

Effects of contemporary winter seismic exploration on low arctic plant communities and permafrost
Download2009
Kemper, J. T., MacDonald, S. E.
Abstract: We studied effects of oil and gas exploration, using the most recent seismic exploration technologies, on tundra plant communities and soils in four vegetation types in the Low Arctic of western Canada, two to three years post-disturbance. For all four vegetation types, seismic lines...

Effects of recreational traffic on alpine plant communities in the northern Canadian Rockies
Download2012
MacDonald, S. E., Crisfield, V., Gould, J.
Abstract: Recreational activities in alpine areas have been increasing in recent decades, creating the need to improve our understanding of the impacts of these activities and how they are best managed. We explored impacts of recreational trail use on dry alpine meadows in the northern Canadian...

Effects of variable nitrogen fertilization on growth, gas exchange, and biomass partitioning in black spruce and tamarack seedlings.

Macdonald, S. Ellen, Islam, M. Anisul
In order to compare the ability of black spruce (Picea mariana (Mill.) BSP) 1 and tamarack (Larix laricina (Du Roi) K. Koch) to adjust to variable edaphic conditions, 2 as found in natural peatlands, we varied nitrogen (N) fertilization of seedlings in a growth 3 chamber experiment over two...

• While tracheid size of conifers is often a good proxy of water transport efficiency, correlations between conifer wood structure and transport safety remain poorly understood. It is hypothesized that at least some of the variation in bordered pit and tracheid structure is associated with both...

Bampfylde, C., Franke, A., Bork, E.W., Cool, N.L., Kuzyk, G.W., Hudson, R.J.
Elk Island National Park in western Canada provides an ideal case study for an economic carrying capacity estimate because it supports high density of four species of ungulates (11/km2), lacks large predators, and is enclosed by a 2.1-meter mesh fence. This high density of ungulates has created...
