Spring 2019
This dissertation delves into the anatomy and physiology of the phloem plant vascular tissue. Two primary topics are investigated in this thesis: (1) The cellular localization and response of aquaporin protein water channels in phloem sieve tubes and (2) the mathematical modeling of phloem sieve...

The potential of forest floor transfer for the reclamation of boreal forest understory plant communities
DownloadFall 2011
We examined a direct forest floor transfer reclamation technique to establish a native boreal forest understory plant community on a reclamation site at a coal mine. Forest floor material was salvaged from an aspen-dominated (Populus tremuloides Michx.) donor forest at two depths (15 and 40 cm)...

Understanding the regeneration stage of any species is key to determining the processes that lead to population persistence and structure, community development, and succession. In the case of the endangered whitebark pine (Pinus albicaulis), knowledge of regeneration processes will be important...

Ectomycorrhizal fungi are determinants of the success of pine regeneration in post-disturbance stands. These fungi promote resource acquisition and resistance in seedlings. They may alter plant chemistry in lodgepole pine (Pinus contorta var. latifolia), which may directly affect the success or...
