Responses of aquatic invertebrate assemblages to an iron treatment aimed at reducing internal phosphorus loading
DownloadSpring 2013
This mesocosm study investigates changes in aquatic invertebrate assemblages in response to iron application, a remediation treatment that inhibits internal phosphorus loading in culturally-eutrophied freshwaters. To determine the effects of ferric chloride application on aquatic invertebrates, I...

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...
