Periodic mountain pine beetle outbreaks have affected millions of hectares of lodgepole pine forests in western North America. Within these stands often some pine trees remain alive. In addition to causing direct pine mortality, outbreaks also have short- and long-term legacy effects on both...

A series of experiments were conducted to study the fate and distribution of arsenic (As) when it passes through various components of biosphere. Roxarsone, an As containing compound is added to poultry feed for enhanced feed utilization. Mass balance calculations revealed that chickens excreted...

Lightning is widely acknowledged as a major cause of wildland fires in Canada. On average, 250,000 cloud-to-ground lightning strikes occur in Alberta every year. Lightning-caused wildland fires in remote areas have considerably larger suppression costs and a much greater chance of escaping...

Dynamics in wildlife populations emerge from the interactions between individuals and their environment. Constraints between individual nutrition and food availability are therefore fundamental to understanding how species adapt to environmental variability and to identify mechanisms controlling...

Global increases in carbon dioxide have refocused attention on trees as a mechanism for carbon storage. Leaves are vital to this process, serving as both the site of carbon gain and water loss in trees. As transpiration and photosynthesis are inherently linked in leaves, water movement through...

Contamination of land, water, and air is a widespread concern often associated with anthropogenic activities. Remediation of contaminated sites is necessary to minimize negative impacts on human health and the environment and allow for safe, productive use of land. Although contaminated sites...

Changing fire dynamics and increasing global temperatures are causing changes to the fire regime and permafrost stability in the Arctic. Models have separately predicted the widespread thawing of permafrost and increasing magnitude and intensity of wildfires over the next century. However, while...
