In boreal forests, tree competition has been widely considered as a key process contributing to forest dynamics including driving species turnover, succession and shaping stand-level structure. Understanding how the competition process in boreal forests regulates tree growth and survival is...

Tree size and tree height are two essential quantities to measure structure and productivity of forest stands. As such, they encourage predictability in changes among tree growth patterns and are fundamental to developing forest management plans. Tree height and size (commonly measured as...

Modelling water table depth effects on net ecosystem CO2 exchange of two contrasting forested peatlands – a tropical bog and a boreal fen
DownloadFall 2015
Peatlands have been accumulating carbon (C) in wet soils under shallow water table (WT) over millennia. Increased frequency and intensity of droughts and artificial drainage for promoting agriculture have recently been causing peatland WT depth (WTD) drawdown. This could alter peatland C balance...

The Earth’s forests are of great economic, ecological, and social importance, and sustaining them is paramount for mitigating climate change. To successfully sus- tain forests we must understand their internal demographic dynamics and their relationship to climate. In this thesis, I developed...

Moisture Transport and Changes in Mechanical Properties in Oriented Strand Board: Experimental and Modeling
DownloadFall 2021
The demand by the building industry for engineered wood composites is continuously increasing due to its importance as a structural building material. Even though the forest products sector is constantly working to find solutions to improve the design of material properties, research to predict...

Molecular Identification of Boreal Forest Roots: An Expansion of Techniques and Investigation of Limitations and Biases
DownloadFall 2018
Plant identification is a fundamental ecological tool. While identifying flowers and leaves is relatively straightforward, identifying roots can be difficult. Here, I expand the use of fluorescent amplified fragment length polymorphisms (FAFLPs) as a tool to identify roots. Using this molecular...
