Fall 2013
Quality aspen (Populus tremuloides Michx.) nursery seedlings are difficult to produce. In this thesis I explored methods to improve the nutrient status (loading) of aspen seedlings. Tissue nutrient concentrations doubled in seedlings treated with a shoot growth inhibitor (SGI) compared to...

Residual tree retention ameliorates short-term effects of clear-cutting on some boreal songbirds
Download2001
Hannon, S. J., Norton, M. R., Tittler, R.
Abstract: Retention of residual trees in \"cutblocks,\" logged blocks of forest, has been proposed as a method to conserve songbirds in landscapes fragmented by clear-cut logging. We examined songbird communities in the boreal mixed-wood forest of Alberta, Canada, to investigate the effect on...

The potential of aspen clonal forestry in Alberta: breeding regions and estimates of genetic gain from selection
Download2012
Brouard, J.S., Hamann, A., Gylander, T., Thomas, B.R.
Background: Aspen naturally grows in large, single-species, even-aged stands that regenerate clonally after fire disturbance. This offers an opportunity for an intensive clonal forestry system that closely emulates the natural life history of the species. In this paper, we assess the potential of...

The root distribution, architecture, transpiration and root sapflow dynamics of mature trembling aspen (Populus tremuloides) growing along a hillslope
DownloadFall 2013
The objectives of this study were to explore comparative controls by atmospheric and belowground variables governing transpiration of trembling aspen (Populus tremuloides) growing along a water limited hillslope. Vertical and horizontal root distribution, intra- and inter-clonal root connections,...

Wasylishen, R. E., Bernard, G. M., Quideau, S. A., Norris, C. E., Landhausser, S. M.
Abstract: Enriching plant tissues with C-13 and N-15 isotopes has provided long-lasting, non-reactive tracers to quantify rates of terrestrial elemental fluxes (e.g., soil organic matter decomposition). However, the molecular location and level of isotope enrichment may differ among plant...
