Fall 2023
Grasslands cover 30% of the planet’s terrestrial surface and provide habitat and forage for livestock and wildlife. In addition, grasslands have the potential to mitigate climate change by sequestering substantial amounts of carbon (C) in the soil. However, the ability of grassland soils to...

Adaptation of white spruce to climatic risk environments in spring: implications for management under climate change
DownloadFall 2022
The timing of spring dormancy release and bud break in trees is an adaptive trait with potentially important management implications. Depending on how spring phenology is controlled, climate warming may disrupt the synchronization of bud break with the available growing season. Further,...

Adaptation of white spruce populations to extreme climate events: implications for assisted migration practices in Western Canada
DownloadSpring 2019
The movement of seed sources from south to north has been proposed as a tool to mitigate the effect of climate change on forest productivity and mortality. Southern provenances, coming from warmer regions are expected to better utilize the extended growing seasons expected under climate warming....

Adaptation of trembling aspen and hybrid poplars to frost and drought: implications for selection and movement of planting stock in western Canada
DownloadFall 2012
This study contains a series of experiments to evaluate growth performance and survival of hybrid poplars (Populus spp.) and trembling aspen (Populus tremuloides Michx.) in boreal planting environments in western Canada. Ecophysiological traits related to drought resistance and winter survival...

Processing of oil sands ores to extract bitumen generates large volumes of tailings which are deposited into large settling basins, where the solids settle by gravity over 3-4 years to become mature fine tailings (MFT). Methanogenesis has been correlated with increased water recovery from and...

A survey of pyrogenic carbon in Kootenay National Park burned soils, and its positive effect on the establishment of pine-fungal ectomycorrhizal symbiosis
DownloadSpring 2020
Wildfire is a natural disturbance in Rocky Mountain forest landscapes. Fire plays an important role in maintaining stand structure, woody debris consumption, and soil nutrient cycling. Fire exclusion in these ecosystems has expanded forest cover, altered stand structures, and allowed...
