Detailed GIS studies across spatially complex rangeland landscapes, including the Aspen Parkland of western Canada, require accurate digital elevation models (DEM). Following the interpolation of last return lidar (light detection and ranging) data into a DEM, a series of 256 reference plots,...

Integration of Science and Indigenous Knowledge Through the Concept of Cultural biogeochemical Energy: Application to Planning in Madidi National Park and Indigenous Territory of San José de Uchupiamonas
DownloadSpring 2019
Quiroga Yañez, Patricia Cristina
The study I present here is about Indigenous knowledge and its integration with science. The purpose of working with such integration, is to propose management principles for an area in the Bolivian Amazon that is both a national park and Indigenous territory—a double category area.The...

Desai, A., Grant, R.F., Sulman, B.
Responses of wetland productivity to changes in water table depth (WTD) are controlled by complex interactions among several soil and plant processes, and hence are site-specific rather than general in nature. Hydrological controls on wetland productivity were studied by representing these...

Native tree seedling interactions with variations in edaphic properties in upland boreal forest restoration
DownloadSpring 2015
The boreal forest is a vast circumpolar ecosystem covering approximately 11 % of terrestrial land globally. The Canadian boreal forest is rich in natural resources such as lumber, minerals, and oil, and therefore is heavily managed by humans in some regions. Surface mining for oil sands deposits...

Natural disturbances and fish: Local and regional influences on winterkill of fathead minnows, Pimephales promelas, in boreal lakes
Download2003
We investigated the population dynamics of fathead minnow Pimephales promelas and the environmental factors of four small lakes in the boreal forest of Alberta, Canada, for 5 years to determine the influence of local and regional factors on the development of hypoxia and the occurrence of fish...

Natural regeneration in the boreal forest: seedling establishment and success in western North American and European boreal forests
DownloadFall 2014
As the costs and ecological implications of intensive forest management rise, alternative management strategies that minimize intervention become more desirable options, particularly natural regeneration. Two locations were studied: the boreal mixedwoods of western North America (Alberta) and...
