Transpiration Response of Residual Lodgepole Pine After Partial-cut and Strip-shelterwood Harvesting in Alberta's Southern Rocky Mountains
DownloadFall 2019
Forest harvesting reduces forest canopy cover which can reduce evapotranspiration and affect the hydrologic regime of watersheds. Prior research has shown while transpiration is reduced by the removal of trees, it can also affect soil moisture and meteorological variables (e.g....

Trade-offs between wood density and radial growth in the Region H white spruce Controlled Parentage Program, Alberta, Canada
DownloadFall 2019
Trade-offs between wood density and radial growth rate in white spruce were investigated. Decreases in wood density associated with increased radial growth rate have been well documented in several tree species, including white spruce (Picea glauca (Moench) Voss)....

Tracking a better way to count wildlife: testing the Formozov-Malyshev-Pereleshin (FMP) formula in the Kalahari
DownloadSpring 2020
The science of conservation biology is about conserving species. To do so often requires information about population sizes. Great efforts have been devoted to counting animals, the diverse means by which are invariably taxa and environment-limited. Faced with a biodiversity crisis,...

Trace elements in berries collected near upgraders and open pit mines in the Athabasca Bituminous Sands Region (ABSR): distinguishing atmospheric dust deposition from plant uptake
DownloadFall 2019
Bitumen mining and upgrading operations in the Athabasca Bituminous Sands Region (ABSR) may lead to increased concentrations of trace elements in the surrounding environment. Elevated concentrations of potentially toxic trace elements could pose a risk to local indigenous communities through the...

Trace elements associated with the coarse and fine aerosol fractions in Sphagnum moss within the Athabasca Bituminous Sands region
DownloadFall 2022
The Athabasca Bituminous Sands industry in Alberta has dramatic impacts on the economy of the province. Nevertheless, with increasing industrial operations, environmental concerns are also raised regarding the contamination of air and water with trace elements (TEs). To better assess the...

Trace element concentrations in riverine fish: relationships with body size, food web dynamics and trace element concentrations in surface water
DownloadSpring 2020
Freshwater fish are an important resource and form an essential component of freshwater ecosystems. However, stressors such as water pollution are negatively impacting freshwater biodiversity. Trace elements can be environmental pollutants and have the potential to negatively impact the health of...

Toxicity of thallium to the water flea (Daphnia magna) and rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss).
DownloadFall 2022
Thallium (Tl) is a trace metal that can be found at elevated concentrations in waters associated with the mining and refinement of coal and base metals. Although the effects of Tl on aquatic biota are poorly studied, the Canadian Council of Ministers of the Environment (CCME) has established a...

Tillage Reversal and Nitrogen Fertilization Affected Greenhouse Gas Emissions and Soil Carbon Stability Differently in a Black Chernozem and a Gray Luvisol
DownloadSpring 2015
Improving soil carbon (C) sequestration through land management practices is of great interest due to concerns over global climate change caused by increased atmospheric greenhouse gas (GHG) concentrations. Soil disturbance by conventional tillage (CT) generally accelerates soil organic carbon...
