Aspen is a widespread forest tree of high economic and ecological importance in western Canada. The species has also been subject to tree improvement efforts over the past two decades to increase productivity of the forested land base. Successful selection and breeding programs rely on both...

Ecophysiology And Carbon Allocation Of Aspen And Balsam Poplar Seedlings In Response To Drought
DownloadFall 2012
Drought-induced forest mortality has been recorded in every forested continent. Although the effect of drought on plant growth, physiology and ecology have been extensively studied in the past, the physiological mechanism leading to plant mortality under drought conditions are far from being...

The relationship between trees and ectomycorrhizal fungi is fundamental for tree growth and survival, particularly in the boreal forests of North America where low temperatures inhibit decomposition and consequently limit nutrient availability. The responses of ectomycorrhizal fungal communities...

Effects of dietary enrichment with a marine oil-based n-3 LCPUFA supplement in sows with predicted birth weight phenotypes on birth litter quality and growth performance to weaning
Download2015
Patterson, Jennifer L., Foxcroft, George R., Dixon, Walter T., Spencer, Joel D., Smit, M. N., Dyck, Michael K.
The effects of a marine oil-based n-3 long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acid (mLCPUFA) supplement fed to the sow from weaning, through the rebreeding period, during gestation and until end of lactation on litter characteristics from birth until weaning were studied in sows with known litter birth...

Dyck, Michael K., Foxcroft, George R., Patterson, Jennifer L., Dixon, Walter T., Smit, M. N., Spencer, Joel D.
Effects of a marine oil-based n-3 LCPUFA supplement (mLCPUFA) fed from weaning until the end of the next lactation to sows with a predicted low litter birth weight (LBW) phenotype on growth performance and carcass quality of litters born to these sows were studied, based on the hypothesis that...

Environmental factors affecting an experimental low-density mass grave near Edmonton, Alberta, Canada
DownloadFall 2010
The investigation of mass graves involves aspects of high political, judicial, and emotional impact. Understanding how bodies held within mass graves change between the time they are deposited and the time they are discovered (the realm of forensic taphonomy) is vital for competent collection of...
