SOIL BIOGEOCHEMICAL PROCESSES AND FINE ROOT DYNAMICS OF VEGETATION IN LFH MINERAL SOIL MIX AND PEAT MINERAL SOIL MIX ORGANIC CAPPING MATERIALS USED FOR OIL SANDS RECLAMATION
DownloadFall 2016
Peat mineral soil mix (PMM) and LFH, identifiable litter (L), fragmented litter (F) and humus (H), mineral soil (MS) mix are organic capping materials commonly used over overburden (OB) and tailings sand (TS) substrate materials in oil sands reclamation. These organic capping materials have...

Soil CO2 Efflux in Response to Forest Disturbances and its Spatial Variation in a Boreal Mixedwood Forest
DownloadSpring 2019
Soil CO2 efflux is a key component of the terrestrial carbon cycle as it is the second largest carbon flux between the atmosphere and terrestrial ecosystems after photosynthesis. The spatial and temporal variation of soil CO2 efflux can be altered by various disturbancess, which in turn alter...

Soil fungi after pine beetle outbreak: Diagnosis of fungal community composition and treatment of outplanted seedlings with tailored soil inoculum
DownloadSpring 2019
Soil fungal communities play vital roles in boreal forests as key organisms that cycle nutrients, facilitate uptake of resources for mycorrhizal plants, and store carbon. Forest disturbances often result in shifts in soil fungal community composition, yet, it is unclear if these effects are...
