Rhizosphere microbial response to predicted vegetation shifts and changes in rhizodeposition in boreal forest soils
DownloadFall 2018
The boreal forest is the single largest terrestrial store of carbon on Earth. In Canada’s boreal forest, approximately 23% of these carbon stocks are found in forest floors and 40% within mineral soils. The rhizosphere, soil under the direct influence of plant roots, is a hotspot for microbial...

Spring 2012
Microbial communities are responsible for biogeochemical processes in soils such as nutrient cycling and organic matter formation, which are essential to the establishment of vegetation and ecosystem sustainability. Phospholipid fatty acid analysis, microbial respiration and enzymatic activities...

Soil microbial communities in northern Alberta's boreal forest floors following resource extraction
DownloadFall 2017
Land disturbance linked to resource extraction in Alberta ranges in severity from full ecosystem removal during surface mining to more surficial disturbance during clearcut timber harvesting. Changes to these ecosystems affect the soil microbial community, and the health of boreal forests is...

Fall 2015
The recent open pit mining for oil sands in the Athabasca Oil Sands Region (AOSR), northern Alberta has created an unprecedented industrial scale disturbance whose ecological consequences is not well understood, and requires intensive investigation. This study focused on the temporal dynamics of...

The long-term effects of crop rotation and fertilizer applications on soil health and crop productivity in Alberta
DownloadFall 2022
Long-term agricultural management practices affect soil health. Five long-term rotations at the University of Alberta Breton Plots were sampled as part of the Soil Heath Institute (SHI) North American Project to Evaluate Soil Health Measurements (NAPESHM) in 2019: (1) check (no fertilizer...

Wildfire impacts to soil in Alberta’s southern Rocky Mountains: pyrogenic carbon abundance and character on a post-wildfire landscape
DownloadFall 2023
Pyrogenic carbon (PyC) is a ubiquitous soil constituent produced as a result of wildland and anthropogenic fire. The dynamic nature of wildfire produces heterogenous chemical by-products in a broad range of sizes and chemical makeup, from lighter soots to heavier charcoals. A large component of...
