Assisted migration to address climate change: recommendations for aspen reforestation in western Canada
Download2011
Mbogga, M. S., Chen, P., Gray, L. K., Gylander, T., Hamann, A.
Abstract: Human-aided movement of species populations in large-scale reforestation programs could be a potent and cost-effective climate change adaptation strategy. Such large-scale management interventions, however, tend to entail the risks of unintended consequences, and we propose that three...

Assisted migration to address climate change: recommendations for reforestation in western Canada
DownloadFall 2011
A changing climate is the largest threat to forest productivity in western Canada and to the ability of forested landscapes to provide ecological and economic services, both now and in the future. As climate changes, locally adapted tree populations become mismatched with local conditions,...

Benthic Responses to Nitrogen and Phosphorus Deposition on Alpine Ponds in Banff National Park: A Replicated Whole-Ecosystem Experiment
DownloadFall 2012
Nitrogen (N) and Phosphorous (P) deposition at high elevations has increased by 40% over the last fifteen years, causing concern for the 3000+ alpine ponds in Banff National Park. A novel whole-ecosystem experiment was used to test for the effects of elevated N and P deposition on benthic...

Biodiversity of soil arthropods in a native grassland in Alberta, Canada: obscure associations and effects of simulated climate change
DownloadFall 2013
Soils have traditionally been treated as a “black box” due to the challenges of studying this complex medium. The living component of soil consists of a complex network of roots and mostly very small, highly abundant, and extremely diverse group of microbes, protists, and other invertebrates. In...

Biogeographic histories and genetic diversity of western North American tree species: implications for climate change
DownloadFall 2013
Over the last two million years, the evolution of North American tree species, subspecies, and genetic varieties has taken place in a constantly changing landscape often dominated by extensive ice sheets and restricted temperate climate environments. Here, I approximately reconstruct post-glacial...

Fall 2013
Caribou (Rangifer tarandus L.) populations in Canada are threatened by climate change and anthropogenic landscape disturbance, which may negatively affect caribou energetics and range occupancy, with negative consequences for vital rates. Caribou are the basis of economy and spirituality for...

Stadnyk, Tricia A., Tefs, A., Broesky, M., Dery, S. J., Myers, Paul G., Ridenour, N. A., Koenig, K., Vonderbank, L., Gustafsson, D.
The pan-Arctic domain is undergoing some of Earth's most rapid and significant changes resulting from anthropogenic and climate-induced alteration of freshwater distribution. Changes in terrestrial freshwater discharge entering the Arctic Basin from pan-Arctic watersheds significantly impact...

Characteristics of alpine plants and soils along an elevational gradient, Northern Selkirk Mountains, British Columbia
DownloadSpring 2019
Rates of climate change are accelerated at higher elevations, a pattern termed elevation-dependent warming (EDW). Consequently, the impacts of climate change on community patterning and soil development may be particularly evident in alpine environments. Alpine ecotone boundaries, such as...
