Quantifying the Spatial Distribution of Soil Organic Carbon and Nitrogen Using Reflectance Spectroscopy
DownloadFall 2019
Soil is a critical component of global biogeochemical cycles, and there is an increasing need for cost effective tools to measure soil carbon stocks and determine soil nitrogen contents. Reflectance spectroscopy can deliver large volumes of soil carbon data, with potential applications for...

Reaching new heights: Chemical signatures of lodgepole pine trees change with elevation, but not with latitude
DownloadFall 2019
The lodgepole pine (Pinus contorta var. latifolia) is Alberta’s provincial tree and critical to the forest industry. This pine species is the historical host for mountain pine beetle (Dendroctonus ponderosae Hopkins, Coleoptera: Curculionidae, Scolytinae). In western Canada, mountain pine beetle...

Reconstructed height growth trajectories of white spruce (Picea glauca) following deciduous release
DownloadSpring 2012
My study evaluated the “true” white spruce (Picea glauca [Moench] Voss) height growth potential in sites released from deciduous competition. Stem analysis, plus re-measurement data from 60 and 80-year-old trials were used. Interpolated site index (SI, height at breast height age 50) of released...
