Fire regimes at the transition between mixedwood and coniferous boreal forest in northwestern Quebec.
Download2004
Flannigan, M., Kafka, V., Gauthier, S., Bergeron, Y.
Fire history was reconstructed for an area of 15 000 km2 located in the transition zone between the mixed and coniferous forests in Quebec's southern boreal forest. We used aerial photographs, archives, and dendroecological data (315 sites) to reconstruct a stand initiation map for the area. The...

Specialist predators with a limited diet may be less adaptable to environmental change than generalists, which consume a diversity of prey. As the climate changes, ecological homogenization is occurring, where generalist species outcompete specialists, reducing ecosystem complexity. In Arctic...

Forest Tree Population Response to Climate Variability and Climate Change: Implications for Reforestation
DownloadFall 2022
This dissertation aims to quantify the sensitivity and adaptive capacity of forest tree species to climate change in Canada and North America, with applications of guiding sustainable forest management through case studies focusing on Alberta. The general idea is that management interventions...

Gender-differentiated Innovations in Response to Climate Change: Evidence from Smallholder Agriculture in 4 countries in East Africa
DownloadSpring 2014
We investigate gender differentiated innovations regarding maize production among households in Ethiopia, Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda. We find that innovation is positively influenced by access to information assets and on farm water, amount of land, and number of income sources, with Kenya and...

Trembling aspen (Populus tremuloides Michx.) is a dioecious clonal tree species with broad distribution in North America. In dioecious species, sexes are predicted to perform differently, based on the principle of allocation and the energy costs associated with reproduction. Aspen reproduce...

Genetic variation and climatic impacts on survival and growth of white spruce in Alberta, Canada
Download2007-01-01
Rweyongeza, Deogratias M., Yang, Rong-Cai, Dhir, N. K., Barnhardt, L. K., Hansen, C.
Because climate has the greatest effect in determining the genetic structure of forest tree species, climatic variables with large effects on growth and survival need to be identified. This would enable proper matching of tree populations to planting sites in the present and future climates. We...

Climate change could significantly alter precipitation and water availability in different parts of the world. Moreover, during the course of the 21st century, climate change impact can potentially enhance the severity and frequency of extreme precipitation and also increase prolonged drought...
