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...

Exploring how soil fungi can be used to restore native trees on reclaimed substrates containing petroleum hydrocarbons
DownloadSpring 2023
As part of reclaiming landscapes mined for bitumen, ecosystems must be revegetated to restore self-sustaining ecosystems in the boreal forest of western Canada. Current reclamation practices can involve the construction of large landforms, sometimes from overburden containing up to 8%...
