Based on concerns regarding recent declining water levels in Cooking Lake, a study was launched to investigate historic water levels, aiming to extend records into the early 1800s, prior to European settlement. This project links natural and human history by examining and connecting information...

A species-diagnostic SNP panel for discriminating lodgepole pine, jack pine, and their interspecific hybrids
Download2013-01-01
Dang, S. , Cullingham, Catherine I. , Cooke, Janice E. K., Coltman, David W.
Accurate stock identification is important for forest management, yet this can be a challenge for tree species that hybridize naturally. Species discriminating molecular markers provide a means to identify stock with high accuracy. In Canada, lodgepole pine (Pinus contorta Dougl. ex Loud. var....

Beyond mountain pine beetle: soil carbon storage a decade after tree mortality and the possible influence of soil fungi
DownloadSpring 2024
Mountain pine beetle (MPB; Dendroctonus ponderosae) disturbances, amplified by climate change, have led to extensive tree mortality and ecosystem succession in boreal forests across western Canada. Often following attack, former ectomycorrhizal (EM) pine stands in Alberta are replaced by...

Changes in soil fungal communities following logging and salvage logging disturbances decrease lodgepole pine (Pinus contorta var. latifolia) seedling performance
DownloadSpring 2019
Disturbances are frequent events across the Canadian boreal forests and can affect both below and above ground ecosystem processes at various temporal and spatial scales. We have limited understanding of how changes in the below ground fungal communities affect above ground plant communities....

Characterizing the physical and genetic structure of the lodgepole pine × jack pine hybrid zone: mosaic structure and differential introgression
Download2012-01-01
Coltman, David W., James, Patrick M. A., Cullingham,Catherine I., Cooke, Janice E. K.
Understanding the physical and genetic structure of hybrid zones can illuminate factors affecting their formation and stability. In north-central Alberta, lodgepole pine (Pinus contorta Dougl. ex Loud. var. latifolia) and jack pine (Pinus banksiana Lamb) form a complex and poorly defined hybrid...

Consequences of mountain pine beetle outbreak on forest ecosystem services in western Canada
Download2016-01-01
Dhar, Amalesh, Parrott, Lael, Heckbert, Scott
After affecting millions of hectares of pine forests in western Canada , the mountain pine beetle (MPB; Dendroctonous ponderosae Hopkins) is spreading out of its native range and into Canada's boreal forest . Impacts of outbreaks can be environmental, economic, and social, and an ecosystem...

Simard, S. W., Cahill Jr, J. F., Erbilgin, N., RolTreu, J., Karst, M., Pec, J., Cigan, P. W., Cooke, J. E. K., Gregory, R.
Forest die-off caused by mountain pine beetle (MPB; Dendroctonus ponderosa) is rapidly transforming western North American landscapes. The rapid and widespread death of lodgepole pine (Pinus contorta) will likely have cascading effects on biodiversity. One group particularly prone to such...

Dendrochronology and treeline dynamics within arctic and alpine localities in western and central Canada
DownloadFall 2012
The transition from forest to tundra, commonly called treeline, is expected to advance, particularly in northern latitudes. Treeline in two subarctic locales: the western Mackenzie Mountains, Northwest Territories, and the western Hudson Bay Lowlands southeast of Churchill, Manitoba were studied,...
