Regional-scale hydrologic settings buffer black spruce regeneration in the presence of post-fire droughts
DownloadSpring 2024
Lanti-Traikovski, Alexander A.
Climate change is increasing the frequency of droughts and wildfires, reducing tree recruitment, and altering post-fire species composition. In Canada’s western boreal forests, postfire recruitment, particularly of drought-intolerant coniferous species like black spruce, has declined in recent...

Selected Aspects of Plant Responses to Elevated pH, Salinity and Drought: Implications for Oil Sands Revegetation
DownloadSpring 2021
Elevated salinity, high pH, and drought are among the most challenging environmental factors affecting the growth and survival of plants in oil sands reclamation areas. In my thesis research, I focused on the selected aspects of these environmental stresses to better understand their potential...

The response of Tropical Dry Forests to meteorological drought and El Niño Southern Oscillation
DownloadSpring 2020
As a result of economic pressures from agricultural development, timber extraction, tourism and the expansion of cattle ranching, Tropical Dry Forests (TDFs) are considered one of the most threatened and least protected ecosystems in the neotropics. Interacting with these human-induced effects,...

Tree population responses to extreme climate events to guide reforestation under climate change
DownloadSpring 2018
As climates warm and extreme climatic events occur with more frequency and severity, maintaining forest health and productivity may involve planting seed sources from warmer, drier areas. To guide such reforestation strategies, this work analyzes the risks of both climate change and assisted...
