Harrington, J.B., Flannigan, M.D.
Long dry spells (sequences of dry days) are rare events, but they are important because they correlate significantly with the area burned during bad wildfire years. Previous attempts to model the frequency of dry spells have been successful for spells of short duration, but have failed for...

A range-wide common garden experiment of white spruce indicates population differentiation in drought tolerance traits
DownloadFall 2019
In western regions of the Canadian boreal forest, mean annual temperature has increased by 1.5 to 2.5 °C, significantly exceeding the mean global temperature increase. Climate conditions have also become drier and together these climate trends have induced widespread growth reductions, dieback...

Adaptation of trembling aspen and hybrid poplars to frost and drought: implications for selection and movement of planting stock in western Canada
DownloadFall 2012
This study contains a series of experiments to evaluate growth performance and survival of hybrid poplars (Populus spp.) and trembling aspen (Populus tremuloides Michx.) in boreal planting environments in western Canada. Ecophysiological traits related to drought resistance and winter survival...

An ecophysiological investigation of the jackpine woodland with reference to revegetation of mined sands
Download1980
This project was conceived as a multidisciplinary integrated study to determine the physiological limits of native and non-native species to dry, nutrient-poor environmental conditions on a steep-sided sand dike and on sand piles. Only when the limits of survival are known for native and...

Application of SWAT-MODFLOW Software to Evaluate Groundwater-Surface Water Interaction in West-Central Alberta
DownloadFall 2018
Responsible watershed management is emerging as a key issue as humanity continues to place increasing demands on water resources. To meet future demands, it has become imperative that water resources be managed as a holistic system rather than solely focusing on individual aspects....

Aspen (Populus tremuloides) root suckering as influenced by log storage, traffic-induced-root wounding, slash accumulation, and soil compaction
DownloadFall 2009
The objective of this thesis was to determine how aspen (Populus tremuloides Michx.) root systems and suckering are affected by decking area (site of log processing and storage) disturbances and seasonal timing of these disturbances. In a field study, summer-built log decks reduced regeneration...
