Spring 2013
Woodland caribou (Rangifer tarandus caribou) populations are threatened across Canada. Recovery plans are being implemented to address conservation priorities using the best available knowledge. I used animal location data to evaluate sampling requirements for estimating caribou population...

Window of opportunity: examining gray wolf (Canis lupus) diets and seasonal patterns of predation on wood bison (Bison bison athabascae)
DownloadFall 2023
Prey selection by predators is a complex process, with acquisition strategies varying between generalists and specialists. However, generalist predators like wolves (Canis lupus Linnaeus, 1758), can select prey in response to increases in abundance or vulnerability of the prey, often influenced...

Wildfires and climate change: their effects on moose (Alces alces) and white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) winter habitat in the boreal mixedwoods of Alberta, Canada
DownloadFall 2021
Understanding how species respond to wildfires and climate change is fundamental for land use management and biodiversity conservation. Wildfires provide generalist ungulates, such as moose (Alces alces) and white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus), with high quantity and quality of winter...

Wildfire impacts to soil in Alberta’s southern Rocky Mountains: pyrogenic carbon abundance and character on a post-wildfire landscape
DownloadFall 2023
Pyrogenic carbon (PyC) is a ubiquitous soil constituent produced as a result of wildland and anthropogenic fire. The dynamic nature of wildfire produces heterogenous chemical by-products in a broad range of sizes and chemical makeup, from lighter soots to heavier charcoals. A large component of...

Wildfire effects on net precipitation, streamflow regime and rainfall-runoff events in northern Rocky Mountain watersheds
DownloadFall 2022
In recent decades, severe wildfire in western North America has increased in frequency as a result of a warming climate and historical fire suppression, impacting an increasing amount of forested area. Reduced forest canopy interception and storage combined with soil water repellency and altered...

Whole-plant transpiration in Populus sp.: its determination, nocturnal effects and influence by form of nitrogen
DownloadFall 2014
Water is a crucial factor in the life of land plants. Transpiration (E) is inevitable and it is viewed as the universal cost of accessing a CO2-rich atmosphere. Although we now know that plants lose water at night, it had been assumed that stomata remained closed after dark. Renewed interest has...

Fall 2016
Understory protection harvesting in boreal mixedwoods, which removes mature trembling aspen (Populus tremuloides Michx.) while leaving advance regeneration of white spruce (Picea glauca (Moench) Voss), is being used in many parts of northern Alberta, Canada. The harvesting system is a step...
