Impacts on Water Quality at a Newly Opened and Extracted Peatland: Influence of Internal Processes and Hydrological Connectivity in Horticultural Peat Harvesting
DownloadSpring 2024
Horticultural peat harvesting continues to expand in Canada, yet the impact to downstream water quality during the initial stages of peatland opening and peat extraction are poorly understood. Major changes can occur to the hydrology and internal processes within a peatland during the transition...

Improved Forest Fire Danger Rating Using Regression Kriging with the Canadian Precipitation Analysis (CaPA) System in Alberta
DownloadFall 2017
Estimating precipitation is currently one of the key challenges of accurate Fire Danger Rating. New gridded precipitation analysis systems such as the Canadian Precipitation Analysis System (CaPA) may be superior to the current analytical interpolation strategies, thin plate spline (TPS), and...

Improving forb establishment and restoring soil function in disturbed landscapes: Hitchhiking native forbs with white spruce
DownloadSpring 2018
Changing requirements for land reclamation in Alberta has led to the need for revegetation of disturbed lands with native woody and herbaceous species. Our study involves âHitchhiker Plantingâ which is similar to companion cropping in agriculture, with the goal of improving native forb...

Improving our ability to assess the impacts of hydrologic alteration on stream fishes: An interdisciplinary approach to assess the Threatened Western Silvery Minnow Hybognathus argyritis in Canada
DownloadSpring 2016
Human induced hydrologic alteration is ubiquitous in North American riverscapes. These alterations have been shown to impact fishes by modifying habitats, influencing movement patterns and driving changes in community structure. Understanding these impacts is an essential first step for the...

Incorporating genetic gain into growth and yield projections for Alberta’s white spruce and lodgepole pine tree improvement programs
DownloadFall 2021
Forest Management in Alberta, Canada, has been facing challenges from a shrinking forest land-base over the past few decades. Tree improvement is recognized as one of the most efficient approaches in addressing this issue. However, there are still some knowledge gaps limiting the application and...
