Spotted knapweed plant management and restoration of native grassland in Waterton Lakes National Park, Alberta
(2018)The province of Alberta is known for its prairies, which are ecosystems dominated by temperate grasslands. These grasslands contribute to flora and fauna biodiversity, but are the most endangered ecosystems in the region, ... -
Spruce budworm (Choristoneura fumiferana Clem.) late-instar dispersal and impact on host-species natural regeneration in a boreal mixedwood forest of Ontario
(1996)Understory feeding by the spruce budworm ( Choristoneura fumiferana Clem.) has potential to alter the species composition of established regeneration and therefore the value of the future forest. This study sets out to ... -
Stable isotope (N,O,H) geochemistry, petrology and compositions of biotite of the Musselwhite Mine, Ontario : implications for mineralisation
(2008)Musselwhite mine is located 480 km. north of Thunder Bay, Northwestern Ontario on the southern shores of Opapimiskan Lake in the North Caribou Lake greenstone belt. It is classified as an orogenic gold deposit. -
Stage of change : relation to risk factors for binge eating and other health-risk behaviours among university women
(2004)The transtheoretical model delineates the different stages that individuals go through as they change maladaptive behaviours: precontemplation, contemplation, action, and maintenance (Prochaska, DiClemente, & Norcross, ... -
Stage structure must inform recovery in fish populations: a case for lake sturgeon in the Namakan River, Ontario
(2018)Lake sturgeon are a large bodied, slow maturing, intermittently reproducing acipenserid native to central North America. The species is a conservation concern range-wide because of population declines during the 19th and ... -
Stakeholder perspectives on climate change and adaptation in expedition cruise tourism in Nunavut
(2011)Climate change and tourism change are global phenomena (Keskitalo, 2008; Page, 2003). As climate change becomes more pronounced and the tourism industry continues to be susceptible to changes in climate (Coombes, Jones, ... -
Stakeholders' experiences of an interpretation accreditation system : a case study in Banff National Park, Canada / by Rosanna L. Maunder.
(2007)Previous research suggests that guided interpretation in nature-based settings has the potential to develop positive attitudes towards conservation and can foster appropriate visitor behavior in parks and protected areas. ... -
