A comparison of coarse woody debris in post-harvest and post-fire island remnants a decade after disturbance in northern Alberta
DownloadFall 2022
Retention forestry is the practice of retaining forest structure within cut-blocks at harvest sites and is practiced widely throughout the world. Although retention practices are modelled on the propensity for fires to leave behind a variety of biological legacies or structural elements, the...

Major intrinsic proteins of Laccaria bicolor: characterization, transcript profiling and functions in ectomycorrhizal associations with Picea glauca
DownloadSpring 2015
In mycorrhizal associations, water transport properties of the fungal hyphae may affect water transport of the host plants. The importance of aquaporins, water-transporting members of the Major Intrinsic Protein (MIP) family, in facilitating water transport has been widely acknowledged and...

Playing with fire: Dendroctonus ponderosae (mountain pine beetles) in post-burn lodgepole pine forests
DownloadSpring 2015
Dendroctonus ponderosae, an aggressive tree-killing bark beetle, is one of the most significant insects in the coniferous forests of western North America. Although D. ponderosae is restricted to weakened host trees at low-density populations, fire can suddenly increase the number of suitable,...

Oxygen deprivation (hypoxia and anoxia) is an environmental stress affecting plants worldwide in many natural and man-made ecosystems. Aquaporins exhibit multiple physiological functions in challenging environments. The central role of aquaporins in plant water relations has been widely...

Variable Retention Harvesting: Mortality of Residual Trees and Natural Regeneration of White Spruce
DownloadFall 2010
In this thesis I examined the impacts of variable retention harvesting on residual tree mortality and natural regeneration of white spruce [Picea glauca (Moench (Voss)] in northern Alberta. The VR was done in four overstory canopy compositions (ranging from deciduous dominated to conifer...

Variations in jack pine (Pinus banksiana) monoterpene composition and subsequent effects on pheromone production by mountain pine beetle (Dendroctonus ponderosae)
DownloadSpring 2015
The secondary compounds of pines (Pinus) can strongly affect the physiology, ecology and behaviour of bark beetles (Coleoptera: Curculionidae, Scolytinae) that feed on host sub-cortical tissues. Jack pine (Pinus banksiana) has a wide distribution range in North America and thus variations in its...

Arsenic is a highly toxic and ubiquitous element. To this day, millions of people are exposed to arsenic contamination, which poses global health concerns. Phytoextraction performed with willows, a form of phytoremediation, is a promising means of cleaning up soils containing hazardous levels of...
