Primates play an important role in the maintenance and functioning of tropical ecosystems. However, habitat loss due to land use conversion threatens the persistence of primates worldwide. Colombia has a diverse fauna of primates with 12% of its terrestrial territory protected under the country’s...

Host Plant Chemistry Affects Fungal Interactions, Which Influence the Production of Volatile Fungal Metabolites
DownloadSpring 2019
Mountain pine beetle (MPB) has recently expanded its host range to novel jack pine forests in Alberta. Invasion success of MPB may depend on the outcome of interactions between its primary symbiotic fungus Grosmannia clavigera with other organisms sharing the same host. Among resources-sharing...

Laboratory-Measured Soil Organic Carbon Mineralization in Soil Samples from Six Long-Term Crop Rotations in Alberta as a Function of Sample Disturbance
DownloadFall 2015
Soil organic carbon (SOC) plays a dual role in soil; as a key compound determining the function and performance of agricultural soils and as the main terrestrial pool of carbon. The carbon content of cultivated soils has been found to depend on management practices. This laboratory incubation...

Fine fluid tailings (FFT) are a by-product created during the extraction of bitumen from oil sands mining operations. Over 975 million m3 of FFT are currently being stored in tailings ponds in the Athabasca oil sands region (AOSR) of Alberta, Canada. These tailings cause industrial and...

Given high levels of human disturbance and projected rates of climate change, many species will be unable to keep pace with their shifting climatic ranges and thus face increased risk of extinction. This research investigated the use of assisted migrations for two rare and range-restricted plant...

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)....

Spatial variability and controls on surface water chemistry and quality in a heterogeneous landscape: the Western Boreal Forest
DownloadFall 2018
Alexander Jonathan Frederick Mertens
Shallow lakes are highly abundant in the Canadian Western Boreal Forest (WBF) and provide essential ecosystem functions, water resources, sources of biodiversity and anthropogenic values. Increasing exposure to resource development and climate change are putting these lakes at risk, raising the...

Identification of critical habitat for species at risk is an essential component of the protection of rare species under Canada’s Species at Risk Act. In this study, I identified important microsite and landscape-level habitat characteristics for endangered greater short-horned lizards...
