Moss and peat as monitors of contemporary and past rates of atmospheric dust deposition in the Athabasca Bituminous Sands Region
DownloadSpring 2017
Research Problem Since the introduction of open pit mining of the Athabasca Bituminous Sands (ABS) in 1967, this industry has generated considerable quantities of mineral dust that when released is injected into the atmosphere and settles in the surrounding environment. Despite this, a full...

Mountain pine beetle and forest harvest effects on hydrologic processes and streamflow in the Alberta Foothills
DownloadSpring 2021
The Alberta Foothills region has experienced an unprecedented mountain pine beetle (MPB) outbreak. The provincial management strategy is to contain the infestation with forest harvest. The landscape becomes a patchwork of dead (MPB grey-attack), alive, and harvested stands. MPB attack affects the...

Mountain pine beetle outbreak and ectomycorrhizal feedback: the ecology of recovery in beetle killed forests
DownloadSpring 2014
The expansion of mountain pine beetle (Dendroctonus ponderosae; MPB) into naïve host ecosystems has been met by gaps in two key areas of research: (A) affects on the chemistry of forest soils, and (B) impacts on the regeneration of tree seedlings. To investigate linkages between both, we paired...
