Optimal forest harvest age considering carbon sequestration in multiple carbon pools: A comparative statics analysis
Download2012
Armstrong, Glen W, Asante, Patrick
We present an analytical model for determination of the economically optimal harvest age of a forest stand considering timber value, and the value of carbon fluxes in living biomass, dead organic matter, and wood products pools. Through comparative statics analysis, we find that consideration of...

Fall 2017
Leafrollers moths are one of the most ecologically and economically important groups of herbivorous insects. These Lepidoptera are an ideal model for exploring the drivers that modulate the processes of diversification over time. This thesis analyzes the evolution of Choristoneura Lederer, a well...

Prevalence and predictability of handling effects on plants in field studies: Results from field experiments and a meta-analysis
Download2003-01-01
Brown, M., Hik, D.S., Weir, J., Dabros, A., Cahill, J.F.
Various effects on plant growth associated with handling or touching plants are well documented from greenhouse and laboratory studies, but are generally unknown or ignored under field conditions. We examined the prevalence of the effects of handling, at levels typical of many ecological...

Reproduction and abundance of the wood frog (Lithobates sylvaticus) in post-harvest variable retention forests
DownloadFall 2017
Many aquatic-breeding amphibians require freshwater habitat for reproduction and terrestrial habitat for refuge, foraging, and overwintering. Variable retention harvesting is a technique where live trees and other forest features are retained during timber harvesting in patterns that emulate...

Resiliency of boreal forest tree species on a reclaimed oil sands mine and natural forest stands in northeastern Alberta
DownloadSpring 2019
Disturbances in the boreal forest are common, so the species that comprise these forests must be resilient to them. This research examines the resiliency, here defined as the regeneration of boreal tree species following disturbance on both reclaimed and natural sites. The suckering response of...

Salvage logging, edge effects and carabid beetles: connections to conservation and sustainable forest management
Download2006
Cobb, T.P., Brigham, R.M., Philips, I.D., Spence, J.R.
We used pitfall traps to study the effects of fire and salvage logging on distribution of carabid beetles over a forest disturbance gradient ranging from salvaged (naturally burned and subsequently harvested) to unsalvaged (naturally burned and left standing). Significantly more carabids were...

1980
A study of small mammal populations (small rodents and snowshoe hares), habitat use, small rodent diets, and small mammal damage in natural forest and successional communities was begun in June 1978 and continued until November 1979. Based on population sizes and distributions, four species of...

Snowfall, travel speed, and seismic lines: The effects of snow conditions on wolf movement paths in boreal Alberta
DownloadSpring 2016
In the winter, snow can present a major challenge to large mammals by impeding locomotion, limiting food availability, and imposing additional energetic costs during travel. This thesis examines the effects of snow conditions on the fine-scale movement patterns of grey wolves (Canis lupus) in a...
