The Technical Efficiency of Wildfire Suppression in Alberta, Canada: A Stochastic Frontier Analysis
DownloadFall 2021
Wildfire management agencies are increasingly interested in the efficiency of wildfire suppression as they work to protect human lives and communities from wildfire damages under constrained management budgets. In Alberta, climate change is expected to increase the length of the wildfire season...

An evaluation of hitchhiker seedlings with native boreal species as a revegetation tool of industrially disturbed sites in Alberta, Canada
DownloadSpring 2020
Herbaceous forbs hitchhiked, or co-grown, with a woody species, is a solution to establish both native woody and herbaceous species at recently disturbed sites. The broad study objectives were to (1) assess the growth of fireweed hitchhiked with three deciduous woody species and one conifer over...

Conservation and ecology of bryophytes in partially harvested boreal mixed-wood forests of west-central Canada
DownloadFall 2010
This thesis examined the efficacy of residual forest structure for the preservation and recovery of bryophytes five to six years after partial canopy harvest in boreal mixed-wood forests of northwestern Alberta, Canada. Bryophytes were sampled in two forest types that differed in pre-harvest...

Fall 2015
The Canadian boreal forest is vital breeding habitat for North American songbirds. Extensive anthropogenic disturbances within this biome are therefore of conservation concern. Using unharvested stands as controls, I examined the effects of variable retention management (VRM) relative to...

Coordinated Distributed Experiments: an emerging tool for testing global hypotheses in ecology and environmental science
Download2013
Carlyle, C. N., Henry, H. A. L., Fraser, L. H.
There is a growing realization among scientists and policy makers that an increased understanding of today's environmental issues requires international collaboration and data synthesis. Meta-analyses have served this role in ecology for more than a decade, but the different experimental...
